Acoording to me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make a positive impact on his life by not forcing the society standards for learning and growing as every child has a different mind and way of approach to things around them. A tutor is one of the best person who can analyse this and make learning a creative activity instead…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to accompany and motivate them while facilitating their learning. However, it's ultimately the student who holds the power to improve. I believe tutoring is a form of coaching, and I also think that, at times, the student has much to teach the tutor. It's a collaborative…

I think that if a tutor can initially convince their student why what they’re studying is important, then the relationship will be much more amicable. I also think it’s important that we make sure they’re really understanding key concepts, rather than making it seem like they do to avoid embarrassment around or working harder, I have seen…

I believe it is integral to grasp the individual students learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. As a part of this, it's also important to learn what doesn't work for them, and avoid these techniques. For example, an English teacher might teach them poetic terms by getting the student to write out definitions. If a students doesn't…

Inside Mount Coot-thaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lauren focused on calculating area and perimeter for a housing plan, as well as applying formulas to real-world measurement scenarios.

In Year 10, Will reviewed parabolas and practiced using the quadratic formula while preparing his assignment, working through both graphing and equation-solving steps.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lily concentrated on solving simultaneous equations by substitution and elimination, then circled back to strengthen her understanding of inequalities from earlier in the year.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with organizing notes between school and tutoring, often writing in random places and leaving their notebook at school; as a tutor noted, "notebook left at school, still needs to begin taking notes in a separate notebook." This made it harder to review methods for algebra and inequalities later.

In Year 7 maths, another student didn't complete assigned homework on time, missing practice with fractions and word problems.

A senior student relied heavily on the calculator during quadratic equations but skipped recording working—resulting in confusion when errors appeared.

The anxiety of forgetting steps showed up right before tests, leading to last-minute cramming rather than steady revision.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Coot Tha tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling with parabolas earlier in the term, was able to complete all related questions independently by lesson's end and even explained her working out.

A Year 8 student has begun flagging specific maths problems she finds challenging rather than skipping them, showing new initiative and ownership over her learning.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who previously hesitated with times tables now confidently recalls nearly all of them and applies mental strategies for tricky ones without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

Priya has made a very positive start with her tutoring with Abdullah. He is very good at explaining concepts and seemed to understand Priya's needs very quickly. We are very happy with Abdullah.

Kai and Ben are getting on greatly. Kai had a big win last week. He went from 53% on a maths test to 88%! He received champ of the month award and a chocolate bar! He was thrilled! We are starting to see the results now. Thank you Ben for everything!

Aslinn is currently travelling along well. We have valued Jess's contribution to her reaching her goals in maths. If Aslinn needs further assistance we will have no hesitations in using your service.

Local Spots for Tutoring
