I help a child learn and infer the topics being taught at school by using a step wise approach which is aligned with their learning style. Along with this, I demonstrate the methodology rather than simply revealing the answer for how different texts should be written and understood or how mathematical questions are solved. I ensure that all…

I believe a tutor should be able to explain things clearly and stop the flow of teaching when necessary if a student needs to revise a difficult concept, as I believe it is better to know the concepts now rather than leave those areas to remain unclarified and which can and does affect students come a test or exam day. I believe that a tutor…

I believe a student's emotional well-being, especially their feelings towards their studies is very important. By addressing what's causing them distress and overwhelming feelings a tutor can greatly improve a student's performance. This is because one's attitude can hugely impact not only the amount of effort one is willing to put in, but also…

Inside Mount CottrellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Daisy revised indices for an upcoming test and then practiced quadratic equations, focusing on factorisation and completing the square.

Year 10 student Sienna worked through algebra basics and tackled measurement questions, with a focus on correcting errors from her pre-lesson test.

Meanwhile, Jennifer in Year 12 prepared for her Business Management SAC by practicing responses to different command terms and reviewing how to structure written answers using real exam-style scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with test anxiety—though confident in class, "he panics in exams," which led to incomplete answers despite knowing the material.

In a senior maths session, one student hesitated to check possible polynomial factors without synthetic division; this slowed problem-solving and dented confidence during more complex tasks.

For a Year 7 lesson, skipping written workings when calculating larger numbers made it hard to spot small errors, as one tutor observed: "she tried to do it all mentally, but lost track with bigger sums." Each moment led not just to missed marks but also a visible drop in self-assurance.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Cottrell recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when faced with worded maths problems now confidently breaks them down step by step, even tackling the trickier questions on her own during revision sessions.

In Year 9, one student who previously waited for help has started asking clarifying questions right away and works through difficult algebra independently before checking with the tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often guessed at answers now pauses to double-check her work and explains how she arrived at each solution before moving forward.

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 Melton Library & Learning Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Lawrence of Brindisi Catholic Primary School.
