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.…

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…

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…

The most important thing for tutor to do is to teach their students how to better understand subject better and how that can apply in their everyday lives I think I am a very patient person and that I can take the time to help people understand better in subjects that they are not very knowledgeable…

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…

Anastasia has been fantastic for our daughter and she has made some great progress and is feeling more confident. She feels like they have connected well and Anastasia is able to identify her weaknesses in the topic and convey the information needed easily.

Inside MitchellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Mitchell focused on multiplication facts (two and three times tables) and was introduced to Pythagoras' theorem using simple diagrams.

In Year 9, Zahra practised applying index laws to simplify expressions and worked through fraction calculations with mental strategies.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Oscar tackled basic differentiation of exponential and trigonometric functions, followed by lessons expanding on first principles and the chain rule for derivatives.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion has been inconsistent across year levels.

For example, a Year 5 student often left homework unfinished or forgot books at school, leading to missed practice on multiplication tables and division skills—"he doesn't write table of 7 and 8."

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to organise known values before problem-solving; listing all given data would have clarified which formulas to use.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student's motivation dipped after setbacks: "I'm not very academic," he admitted, which sometimes led to disengagement during new topics. In those moments, learning stalled and confidence wavered.

Recent Achievements

One Mitchell tutor noticed a real shift with Zoe (Year 10): she came to her maths session with an organised list of questions—something she hadn't done before—which meant she could target tricky concepts and get more out of the lesson.

Meanwhile, Luca (Year 11) has started tackling challenging derivatives on his own without waiting for hints, a big step up from when he hesitated to try unfamiliar problems.

In Year 6, Kelly managed to solve all her homework questions independently for the first time, only double-checking answers after finishing each one herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have got to say that Miles is absolutely perfect. Besides being prompt and all that, his explanations are so good that Roland shares them with his school friends to enable them to understand tricky concepts in class. They inevitably will say “Oh, I understand now!” He is making Maths Methods manageable.

So far we are very happy with our classes I am sure as we progress jacob will start to see the improvements

Jillian is a wonderful, dedicated and reliable tutor A grade. Thank you Jillian

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shirley Smith High School.
