I am completely reliable and have a strong work ethic as well as passion for learning and passing on…

If the tutor possesses these qualities, then the student will stay motivated and positive too, and will want to continue learning. As a high academic achiever, I strive to teach new students and help them to achieve their academic goals. I am motivated to give…

Preparation, planning and a positive can-do demeanor. I believe listening to the student is essential, I have found that when a student gets 'stuck' on a problem they get either despondent or so fixated and frustrated. I initially work to ascertain what approach the student will be most responsive to and work with them from there. My patience and…

Its good to be able to use a formula or understand how mathematical theories work but if you do not understand the fundamental blocks of which that concept is built on you will not be getting very far. Thats why I believe in not only understanding what a formula does but why it works. My ability to find where the problem is in a student and…

the most important thing is for the tutor to teach how the student best learns. We are not in large class rooms, so we have the luxury, to teach in specific ways, that might only be good for that one student. I'm patient and can therefore spend as much time as the student needs on any given topic. I'm thorough, so I make sure there are no…

Inside Cottles BridgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sam worked on integration and its applications, including solving simultaneous equations using algebraic methods.

A Year 11 student, Lily, focused on conditional probability, discrete random variables, and interpreting binomial distributions through practice questions.

For Year 8, Josh reviewed linear functions by plotting points on the number plane and finding the rule for straight-line graphs, as well as practising probability with Venn diagrams and practical exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tackling probability and integration was noted to rely heavily on the CAS calculator, especially when inputting equations—"separating characters on the CAS caused incorrect answers," according to one tutor.

In Year 7, a student's written maths work showed inconsistent layout for linear equations, making it harder to track errors or review steps later.

Meanwhile, a primary student preparing creative writing pieces struggled with organizing ideas and often jumped from topic to topic without linking details.

When homework was left incomplete in Year 8 science revision, class time had to be spent catching up rather than deepening understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Cottles Bridge tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when tackling worded probability questions now confidently breaks down each part and checks which formula fits, instead of freezing up.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, she took the lead in identifying when to use sine or cosine for triangle problems—last term she'd wait for hints, but this time she explained her reasoning out loud before solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often rushed through decimals has started pausing to double-check her steps and even corrected her own mistake without prompting.

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 Mernda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Learning Co-Operative School.
