Alastair
Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

Jonah
Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

Sean
Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

Tara
Modern History Tutor
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in themselves and their understanding of the subject. I find that from confidence can come a wealth of improvement in performance, as a student's willingness to take risks and belief themselves can go a long way. In terms of specific strengths, I…

Inside MelbaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 10 student Anise worked on applying the chain rule for differentiating compound functions and practiced algebraic manipulation within those problems.
For Year 11, Caledon focused on using radian measure in circular geometry and revising non-right angle trigonometry with the sine law.
Meanwhile, Year 12 Amit reviewed assignment content involving logarithms, exponentials, and explored how to use the second derivative to identify bimodal data points.
Recent Challenges
A lack of a clear lesson plan in one session led to darting between topics and reduced focus; as the tutor observed, "I will create a lesson plan for the next tutoring session."
In Year 11 maths, incomplete homework was an ongoing issue: Caledon repeatedly forgot to do assigned work, which limited review of new methods and delayed progress on organization strategies.
A Year 7 student avoided showing working in algebra problems, often writing just the answer—this meant missed chances to spot errors or build confidence.
Meanwhile, a senior student hesitated to ask for help even when confused by chain rule applications, echoing classroom reluctance and leaving gaps unaddressed.
Recent Achievements
One Melba tutor noted that a Year 8 student, who once hesitated to ask questions, now regularly prepares specific problems in advance and seeks help right at the start of each session.
In Year 11 maths, Anise showed clear growth by not only mastering differentiation but also independently applying integration to real-world area problems—something she struggled with before.
Meanwhile, a primary school student recently tackled more complex questions in class after weeks of basic practice; this was the first time they completed all end-of-lesson challenges without prompting from their tutor.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Melba Copland Secondary School Copland Campus Years 10 - 12.
