The most important thing a tutor can do is to realise when a student actually understands a topic, or if they need more help.

Furthermore, most…

Inside MelonbaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.
I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient. Â Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then. Â I will certainly recommend your service to others. Â Â I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.
Jacinta is awesome! Grace has connected well with her, and even after 3 sessions we can see an improvement (in her methods and her confidence). Grace had Year 9 exams this week and felt better prepared. I can honestly say this has been the best investment I could have made for Grace!
