Provide motivation, encouragement and clarity where possible. it would also be important to strive for the students enjoyment in the topic, this can come from understanding it, or instigating an interest through methods and ideas. Having completed year 12 last year, the content current highschool students are learning will be considerably similar…

Science Tutor Mount Martha, VIC
I believe it is important for a tutor to understand each individual student's learning style, and hence approach each student's teaching in the manner which best benefits them. It is also important for a tutor to be patient, open and honest, and always listen keenly to what his/her student has to say. My strength as a tutor lies in my abstract…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email. Ben and David are working well together and it appears that the working relationship is positive. Interestingly, Ben has instantly been able to move to working with David as both David and Ben have in common the same secondary school that Ben is currently going to. So while David attended the school some years prior to Ben, and much has change, they were still able to compare experiences about the school which helped start them working constructively. We are very satisfied with continuing with David.

Yes so far we are happy with Emma. The reason we want the tutoring is that I would like Stephanie to be extended in a similar way to that which coaching colleges follow ie they seem to follow the curriculum of selective schools. I would like Stephanie to have the same opportunity to be extended. Since the coaching colleges are inconvenient for us, we much prefer to have a tutor like Emma.

Tanay enjoys learning with Curtis which is a great thing so I am sure he will listen to what Curtis has to tell him.

Local Spots for Tutoring
