A tutor should help a student feel confident in their abilities, and ensure the student understands. A tutor should also help students find intrinsic motivation, help them find a reason to study that comes from their own goals and aspirations, rather than having study feel like a chore. I focus on fundamental understanding, and try to find gaps in…

The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

To give them the tools to understand their own way of thinking.

Inside Mount ClearTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Greta worked on representing and naming fractions using diagrams, including dividing shapes into equal parts and understanding terms like "third" and "fifth."

Year 10 student Emily focused on labelling sides of right-angled triangles for trigonometry, writing sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, and rearranging equations to solve for unknowns using a calculator.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Tom revised functions by identifying domains and ranges as well as graphing linear inequalities.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was observed skipping double-checks on answers in algebra and trigonometry, leading to repeated sign errors—"she jumped straight into rearranging equations without confirming what the question required."

In Year 10, another learner's notes revealed persistent reliance on diagrams for fractions instead of progressing to efficient arithmetic methods; this slowed progress when denominators grew more complex.

Meanwhile, a VCE maths student struggled with factoring and induction proofs but tended to avoid asking for clarification or responding to feedback after mistakes.

In each case, these habits led to lost marks or incomplete understanding despite underlying ability.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Clear tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated with trigonometry now confidently identifying triangle sides and choosing between sine, cosine, or tangent without prompting.

In a recent senior session, a student who used to rely heavily on help when forming equations is now able to set up most problems independently before applying the quadratic formula.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on fractions initially made frequent mistakes when shading arrays but, after several tries, began grouping dots correctly and even recognised equivalent fractions by counting rather than guessing—finishing the last exercise nearly error-free.

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 Sebastopol Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Clear Primary School.
