Happy to say that Math tutoring (with Youssab) has helped considerably in his performance in class and in his study habits.

Inside Mount NelsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cameron worked on planning and structuring a movie review using the TEEL paragraph format, and also brainstormed ideas for an essay about a class novel.

In Year 12 Chemistry, Aimee revised Food Chemistry through detailed practice exam questions she'd attempted in advance, then completed targeted revision of Fuels and Electrolysis topics based on her recent practice responses.

Meanwhile, Charli (Year 12 Biology) focused on Evolution by reviewing class notes and tackling relevant exam-style questions to strengthen understanding before her SAC.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in English often hesitated to begin creative writing, stalling at the first draft due to doubt—she avoided launching her ideas until she felt certain. This meant promising concepts were left undeveloped on the page.

In senior Chemistry (Year 12), another student struggled with complex multi-step problems; she became overwhelmed by detail and overcomplicated questions, leading to incomplete answers and missed marks.

For a Year 7 learner, messy punctuation work and frequent grammatical errors made reviewing drafts difficult and slowed progress when editing final versions. These habits resulted in missed opportunities for deeper understanding or confident exam preparation.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Nelson tutor noticed a real shift in Aimee's approach to Chemistry: after struggling with equilibrium questions, she started speaking up whenever she wasn't sure and, just last week, applied the method independently to correctly answer a question she'd previously missed.

Meanwhile, Charli has become much more proactive in her Biology sessions; instead of hesitating when stuck, she now asks clarifying questions and highlights areas of difficulty for targeted help.

In Year 7 English, Scarlett tackled a challenging punctuation exercise designed for older students and spotted all nine errors with barely any assistance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy, I have referred 3 families at this stage to you. I am impressed with how thorough Monica's lesson plans are, and how they move clearly from low order thinking to high order thinking in a fun way.

My son Matthew has been a student of Arda's here in Perth. Arda has been fantastic and helped Matthew through the difficulties he was having. Matthew has achieved 93% in his last exam and his class tests have all been consistently high.

It is a great pleasure for us too, to see Vas enjoying his lessons, and trying his utmost hardest to listen and catch up. This is all due to Jake too, he is a very big favourite to Vas, he loves his lessons with him, as he explains everything they are doing till Vas understands.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hobart College.
