RHZ Tutoring has been tutoring Maths for families across Wyndham and the west from our Truganina centre, and Deer Park is one of the suburbs we see most. Below is how our Maths tutoring works for Prep to Year 10, the topics we cover, and the practical details for Deer Park families.
Maths is the subject where gaps compound. A Year 8 student who cannot add fractions confidently will struggle with algebraic fractions in Year 9, then with rational functions in Year 11 Methods. That is why every RHZ maths student starts with a free online Skills Check pitched at the top of their year level, not the middle: we want to see which of the year's topics are secure, which are shaky, and which earlier-year skills (times tables, place value, negative numbers) are quietly holding them back.
Our tutors teach to the Victorian Curriculum, the same document your child's school plans from. In primary, that means a heavy emphasis on number: counting and partitioning in Prep and Year 1, regrouping in Year 2 and 3, multiplicative thinking and fractions from Year 3 onwards, decimals and percentages in Years 5 and 6. Many of the students we meet in Year 5 or 6 are still counting on their fingers for basic facts, so we rebuild automaticity first: short daily practice, not worksheets of 100 sums.
In Years 7 to 10 the curriculum moves fast: integers and algebraic expressions in Year 7, linear equations and indices in Year 8, surds, trigonometry and linear graphs in Year 9, then quadratics, simultaneous equations and the first taste of VCE-style problems in Year 10. Our secondary sessions follow the school's sequence so that tutoring reinforces class, but a tutor will step back a year whenever the Skills Check shows the foundation is missing. Year 10 is also where we prepare students for the Methods versus General decision, so they choose from strength rather than fear.
A typical session runs for an hour. The first ten minutes are retrieval practice on the previous week's skills, the middle thirty-five to forty minutes are new teaching and worked examples with the tutor watching the student work (not just marking), and the last ten minutes are a short check that the student can do it alone. After every session you receive a plain-English progress note: what was covered, what is secure, what is next. Homework is small and specific, usually ten to fifteen minutes a night.
Small-group sessions (three to five students of a similar level) are the most popular option for primary and junior secondary maths because the price is lower and students often work harder alongside peers. One-to-one suits students who are a long way behind, a long way ahead, or anxious about maths. Both are available at our Truganina centre and online, and the tutor, the Skills Check and the reporting are the same either way.
Deer Park is an older suburb in Brimbank that is renewing quickly as younger families move in. It is a fifteen-minute drive to Truganina, and Deer Park students are fairly evenly split between coming to the centre and learning online. We see a lot of Year 7 and 8 students from Deer Park whose primary maths foundations were never quite locked in.
The drive from Deer Park (3023) to our centre at 17/47 Apex Drive, Truganina VIC 3029 takes about 15 minutes, via Robinsons Road or the Western Ring Road. Every subject is also available online with the same tutor, and many Deer Park families mix in-person and online across the week.
We tutor Maths students from Deer Park North Primary School, Deer Park West Primary School, Victoria University Secondary College and Derrimut Primary School and other local schools, so our tutors know the pace and the assessment styles used in Deer Park.
Nearby Derrimut, Caroline Springs and Sunshine families join the same groups.

The list below is what the free Skills Check assesses for Maths, by year level, and therefore what a Deer Park student's sessions are planned from. A tutor will always step back a year when a foundation topic is missing.
Small-group sessions (three to five students of a similar level) are from $25 an hour. One-to-one sessions are $35 to $45 an hour depending on year level, with VCE at the top of that range. Plans are monthly, you choose how many sessions a week, and you can cancel any time. The Skills Check and the consultation are free. Online and in-person sessions cost the same.
Usually yes, because most students who hate maths actually hate feeling lost in class. Once the Skills Check shows us the two or three missing skills and the tutor rebuilds them, the class work starts making sense again and the attitude follows. We do not push extension work until the confidence is back.
Both. We plan from the Victorian Curriculum, so the topics line up with your child's school. Within that we follow the Skills Check result: if a Year 7 student cannot yet do fractions, we fix fractions before we touch algebra, even if the class has moved on.
One hour a week is the norm for Prep to Year 6 and is enough for steady progress if the short home practice is done. Two sessions a week are worth it for a student who is more than a year behind, or in the term before a NAPLAN test or a scholarship exam.
No. Our tutors use curriculum-aligned material from our own question banks, plus your child's school worksheets and tests where they exist. Bringing the latest school test to the first session is the fastest way for a tutor to see how the school is assessing.
We extend. A Year 4 who has finished the Year 4 content can work on Year 5 and 6 number and problem solving; a Year 9 who is strong can start Year 10 algebra and prepare for Methods. The Skills Check is deliberately hard at the top end so we can see how far ahead a student really is.
