Tutor Amaroo, ACT
To be there as a constant guide, a reliable anchor, and a mentor for the students. When it comes to tutoring students, it is important to note that they are all unique individuals in their own right. Every student will have their own set of challenges, weaknesses, strengths, and respond differently to certain approaches. Instead of applying a…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

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.

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.
