Needless to say, students, especially those in their teenage years tend to struggle with their hormones and volatile emotions. The best a tutor can do is to never give up on a student and be understanding of their situation. Once that trust is built, it creates a healthier and more productive space for learning. In my opinion, a great teacher,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is to teach to individual learning needs, not all students learn the same so how could you expect to teach them the same? Some students need you show them the real implications behind what they are learning, they need to see the math they are doing in real life situations, while others need…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to the student and be flexible and adapt to their learning methods. Not all students are the same so a tutor should be able to adapt to all different learning styles. I think my experience is my greatest strength. I have been a tutor for 5+ years, and it has been my main…

Inside MerrimuTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Laila worked on revising the processes and factors affecting photosynthesis and cellular respiration, using summary diagrams to clarify inputs, outputs, and efficiency.

In Year 10, Hannah focused on surds and indices by applying index laws to past test questions and practiced expanding binomial products such as (a+b)^2 and rationalising denominators using conjugates.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Adaa covered multiples, factors, lowest common multiple (LCM), highest common factor (HCF), and used factor trees for prime factorisation during problem-based exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Biology, one student left several exam-style questions blank when unsure, which meant missed opportunities to apply knowledge even if partially correct. This pattern of avoiding answers repeated in earlier lessons on cellular respiration, where hesitation blocked recall and practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 Maths learner often did calculations in her head instead of writing out steps; this made it hard for her to check working or explain reasoning—especially during percentage and long division tasks.

In another session, a Year 9 student's incomplete homework led to gaps in pre-session revision tests and undermined progress on indices and algebra.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Merrimu noticed that a Year 10 student, previously hesitant to speak up, now regularly asks for clarification during sessions and attempts challenging quiz questions even when unsure—last week she improved her quiz score from 8/14 to 12/17 and finished faster than before.

In Year 12 chemistry, Leana began identifying hydrogen environments independently in HNMR problems after initially struggling; she now completes related calculations with less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who often skipped words while reading out loud is now sounding out unfamiliar words independently and only occasionally loses her place in longer passages.

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 Lederderg Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bacchus Marsh Primary School.
