The most important thing a tutor can do is to fully understand the needs and wants of a student within their specific subject and in life. By understanding this, tutors can create an environment that will best suit the student, allowing enhanced performance and enjoyment within their subjects. This can be done by simply engaging in normal…

A tutor should be a role model for a student and that's not just in the area of maths but also in terms of attitude and behaviour. A tutor may also act as a friend or a mentor, dealing with some issues that are outside of maths e.g. school work. Ultimately a tutor is paid to help the student improve/get good grades in maths. My strengths lie in…

Naturally, a tutor's main priority is to provide profound and thorough knowledge through clear communication. I believe that while this is nuclear to the role, this teaching can only be achieved if the tutor also carries other accompanying qualities. This includes patience and listening, aforementioned, and trust. As a tutor, it is inevitable that…

Every child is unique, so he/she has to be dealt with and moulded accordingly. The greatest thing in my eyes that a tutor can do for a student is listening to the student requirements as to what or where he/she needs special attention, or what he is grabbing or not. The greatest asset to this is communication, a student can only open his/her heart…

Inside MitchamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sav explored the key themes and ideas in George Orwell's 1984 and practised structuring analytical essay introductions and body paragraphs.

Year 11 student Manya focused on using sentence starters to build effective analytical paragraphs, as well as analysing symbols within her set text beyond surface meaning.

In VCE Biology, Year 12 student Zoe reviewed core bioethical principles before tackling dihybrid cross questions with worked examples drawn from past exam papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with timed essay writing—she finds it difficult to finish introductions quickly, which meant her full responses were often incomplete during practice.

In VCE Biology, the same student's errors on bioethics MCQs stemmed from insufficient revision and confusion between key definitions, especially when "extra information in questions" was present.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly omitted full sentences and overlooked grammatical details in reading tasks; she also mixed up number placement in long division and left times-tables unmastered past 6×9.

During English lessons, messy paragraph structure made it hard for teachers to follow her argument progression.

Recent Achievements

One Mitcham tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after previously skipping questions under time pressure, now works through them methodically—recently answering previously missed exam questions correctly when given more support with timing strategies.

Another high schooler, Sav, moved from struggling to identify what made an essay strong to confidently breaking down sample introductions and structuring her own without much prompting.

For a younger student, Tia initially found combinations and reading comprehension challenging but now shows real independence by tackling tricky maths scenarios step-by-step and consistently finding key answers directly from the text.

Maths tutoring in Mitcham

Maths doesn't have to be hard. The right support and the right approach change all that. Just ask any student who is doing well in maths - they usually love the feeling of "getting it". This is what we aim to create for students - intellectual independence and joy of learning. It's the only path to success in maths whether your goal is to pass or achieve A's. We focus on the content but also on teaching the right approach to learning maths. Probably the most common mistake students make is rule dependence, trying to memorize what to do without understanding why it's done that way - it doesn't work. But each student has their own issues, some with confidence others with silly mistakes or exam technique ...
