Modern History Tutor Mount Martha, VIC
The most important thing would be to teach them, not only how to understand and do well in a test, but how to achieve highly in life. This can be achieved by linking the student's interests to the lesson being tutored. As I am doing a Masters of Teaching at university, I believe I have this strength. I would also see myself as charismatic…

Inside Mount MarthaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 students like Finn have focused on revising index laws ahead of tests and exploring probability notation, then moved to analysing outliers and measures of spread in statistics.

Another Year 9 student worked on plotting linear equations and determining their slope and intercept using graphing techniques.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student spent time finding the gradient of lines, drawing graphs, and identifying coordinates by working through problems visually.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student often attempted multi-step algebra and fractions problems entirely in their head. As a tutor observed, "he talks aloud well but loses track of his own thoughts and makes an error." This habit meant correct answers were missed simply from not writing out steps.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student's notes lacked clear written examples or step-by-step instructions, making it harder to back-check work and spot formula mistakes when revising.

In both cases, untidy or incomplete working made it easy to repeat small errors—leaving gaps in understanding just as new topics were introduced.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Martha tutor recently saw a Year 8 student who'd been hesitant to ask questions start "talking aloud" through maths problems on her own, showing she's more willing to tackle challenges head-on instead of waiting for prompts.

In high school sessions, another student who used to rush through linear equations now takes the time to expand brackets and check his steps, which led him to solve all problems in one set without needing hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student managed her first full page of times tables—scoring 100% on both the 7x and 12x columns after weeks of struggling with recall.
