Such a tutor, whom is demotivating, doesn't care and has a lack of patience will also cause the student to reflect the same behaviour towards the area of difficulty. The student will develop an attitude which lacks motivation, work ethic and form low…

I think that there are two important things a tutor can do for a student. Firstly, a tutor should be there to supplement their student’s work at school. A tutor should guide the student through their school studies and provide an additional, but supplementary, source for self-growth. Secondly, a tutor should inspire the student to set goals.…

Inside Mount VernonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jonathon practised reading tables and graphs, including picture graphs and two-way tables, then worked on using conjunctions in sentences.

In Year 9, Vangie focused on algebraic techniques such as rearranging equations to make a chosen variable the subject and applied these skills to questions involving trapezium dimensions.

For Year 11, Amaan tackled polynomials and learned to apply the quadratic formula through targeted examples from his current schoolwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to show working consistently in algebra and trigonometry, as a tutor observed: "He needs to be disciplined when showing working for a question," which sometimes meant marks were lost even when answers were correct.

In Year 11 English, slow linking of ideas led to time management issues during short-answer analysis.

For a younger student (Year 4), handwriting remained difficult—writing on regular lines was much messier than on practice sheets, making it hard to read his work.

During senior maths revision, one Year 10 student relied heavily on looking back through notes rather than recalling processes independently, slowing progress.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Vernon tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through algebra tests now taking time to check his work, spotting and fixing minor mistakes without prompting.

In Year 10, another student initially struggled with using the sine and cosine rules for triangles but last week solved multi-step problems independently, even explaining why each step made sense.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 who previously hesitated to read aloud is now volunteering to summarise stories after reading them, showing clear progress in both fluency and willingness to engage.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Isabella is very happy with Phoebe and she has already shown improvement in her school work. Her teacher actually called me to tell me that she had improved which was great to hear.

All is going well with Baily. Sian and Baily got along really well right from the first lesson - great rapport! We are happy to continue with the tutoring.

Rahul is an amazing tutor. He uses very effective techniques to help my daughter be confident in Maths a subject she struggles with. Thank you for sending him because he is absolutely fantastic.

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 Green Valley Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Irfan College.
