Shakeel
Maths Tutor Eltham, VIC
I believe a tutor/teacher should always strive to develop an interest about subject matter in the student. Once the student does not think of the subject as burden, he will be able to learn very efficiently. Teaching at various levels has taught me to understand students from different academic backgrounds better.
Every student has a different…

Laura
Maths Tutor Eltham, VIC
I think that it's important to be able to put themselves in their shoes. While the tutor completely understands what it going on, it's important to see why the student may not be understanding something, and to be able to see that makes it easier to teach and makes the student more willing to keep trying and more eager to learn.

Inside Cottles BridgeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 10 student Sam worked on integration and its applications, including solving simultaneous equations using algebraic methods.
A Year 11 student, Lily, focused on conditional probability, discrete random variables, and interpreting binomial distributions through practice questions.
For Year 8, Josh reviewed linear functions by plotting points on the number plane and finding the rule for straight-line graphs, as well as practising probability with Venn diagrams and practical exercises.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student tackling probability and integration was noted to rely heavily on the CAS calculator, especially when inputting equations—"separating characters on the CAS caused incorrect answers," according to one tutor.
In Year 7, a student's written maths work showed inconsistent layout for linear equations, making it harder to track errors or review steps later.
Meanwhile, a primary student preparing creative writing pieces struggled with organizing ideas and often jumped from topic to topic without linking details.
When homework was left incomplete in Year 8 science revision, class time had to be spent catching up rather than deepening understanding.
Recent Achievements
One Cottles Bridge tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when tackling worded probability questions now confidently breaks down each part and checks which formula fits, instead of freezing up.
In a recent session with a Year 9 student, she took the lead in identifying when to use sine or cosine for triangle problems—last term she'd wait for hints, but this time she explained her reasoning out loud before solving.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often rushed through decimals has started pausing to double-check her steps and even corrected her own mistake without prompting.

Local Spots for Tutoring
If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Mernda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Learning Co-Operative School.
