Is In Person or Online Tutoring Best for Maths?
Students are trending back to onsite maths tutoring at Avivo
In a world full of maths apps, AI tools, and YouTube crash courses, it’s easy to assume in person tutoring is a thing of the past.
But here’s the truth: when it comes to maths, nothing beats real connection and real results.
At Avivo Elite Tutoring, we know students don’t just need answers, they need a role model and a mentor that inspires them to reach their goals. They need someone to sit beside them, help them think critically, explain concepts in a way that clicks, and walk with them as they build confidence, clarity, and independence in maths.
Here’s why in person tutoring still makes a difference if it's executed properly.
Tailored Explanations That Click
Every student learns differently. With in person maths tutoring at Avivo, our tutors don’t follow a one size fits all script. They adapt in real time, spotting confusion and unpacking concepts until they are consoldiated.
Whether it’s algebra, calculus or statistics, we meet students at their level and help them move forward with clarity and confidence.
Real Engagement, No Distractions
Online learning can be full of distractions. At Avivo, our in person sessions keep students present, focused and actively engaged in their learning. No screens. No shortcuts. Just quality, distraction free time with a tutor who genuinely cares.
This structure and accountability is especially powerful for students who struggle to stay motivated on their own.
Our dedicated one on one tutoring rooms allow a student to work through solving equations and problems on a whiteboard with their tutor without the fear of making a mistake in front of their peers.
Confidence Through Connection
Many students tell us they’ve “never been a maths person.” But maths isn’t about talent it’s about mindset. That’s why we prioritise the human side of learning. Our tutors don’t just tutor a student, they encourage, listen, and empower the student.
This positive connection builds trust and confidence. This connection is where the growth starts to happen. At Avivo we not only carefully match a student with a tutor but ensure the fit continues to be right once tutoring commences.
Body Language Isn’t Just a Bonus, It’s Essential
Great tutors don’t just hear when something isn’t resonating, they can see it. They notice the furrowed brow, the hesitation, the sigh. During in person sessions, our tutors pick up on these cues instantly, and adjust on the spot.
This kind of intuitive, in the moment tutoring is only possible in person and it’s a key reason our students turn up each week to their session. Our tutors also have the back up of expert educationalists to help strategize and guide them on the best way to engage a student.
Focused Exam and Assessment Prep
From Year 7 assignments to VCE SACs and exams, we know the pressure students feel. Our tutors are not only maths specialists, they’re also assessment strategists. Remember they've been where the student currently is sitting in their education journey and know what it takes to master a subject. In person, tutors can run through worked solutions, build step by step methods, and develop real exam techniques.
Our tutors are an important part of a student's support system to help them stay calm, feel prepared and confident under pressure especially at exam time.
We Build More Than Maths Skills
Our focus is not only about improving marks but also helping a student grow in their knowedge and mastery of a subject like maths. Showing them how resilience and perservance when you stick at something that doesn't come to you naturallly or easily like maths can make a difference and open up a world of opportunities beyond school.
Our tutors alsp help students build lifelong learning habits that serve them well beyond the classroom.
Our Online Platform is a Game Changer
Every student at Avivo Elite Tutoring has their own unique online learning classroom which means what is learnt in person can be captured and referred to outside the tutoring session at anytime. It also provides for times when a student might need to stay at home due to a busy schedule of activities, illness or when away on weekends or holidays. Another huge advantage of our online platform is the infinite flexibility it offers a student when last minute tutoring is needed before an assessment or examination.
Students unable to attend on our premises due to their schedule or geographical location are well supported when engaging with our learning platform. All sessions are actively managed in real time and recorded to ensure best practice in Child Safety.
The way a student chooses to learn is a very personal choice and Avivo Elite Tutoring offers in person, online and a hybrid tutoring options for all students.
So… Why In Person?
Nothing replaces the power of human connection and real tutors build real confidence.
At Avivo Elite Tutoring, we don’t just tutor maths, we aim to transform how a student feels about it.
