I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them the space to make mistakes and learn on their own. Every student is different, and it is incredibly important for tutors to recognise how a student likes to learn - (visual vs written, memory, attention span, challenged vs small steps, etc.), but however that is,…

Science Tutor Mont Albert, VIC
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen. Is there a way the student feels they learn better? Perhaps through pictures instead of words? Is the student not focussed and extremely tired? Would it be more productive to learn outside in the backyard or reschedule for another day? Students are young, but they are young adults.…

I consider building a student's confidence and possibly interest in the subject taught to be the most important. I believe confidence/ passion in a subject will translate well into their academic marks. Strong organisational skills and the flexibility to ensure that the students will have the most beneficial lessons (whether they prefer following…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to have full faith in the particular students ability and never give up on them. If I can show them that I believe they can do it, then that hopefully will spark their self-confidence and encourage them to excel. I also think that it is important for a tutor to provide their students with the…

In my opinion, the most important thing we can do for a student is not just to teach but to also listen. To ensure that the student can make the most out of each session, its best to first understand the areas that the student is having trouble with and then to work as a team to increase their understanding in these area. My strength would be the…

Inside Mont AlbertTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student James focused on Statistics, Networks and Matrices, working through practical problems to consolidate understanding.

Year 7 student Aston tackled algebraic equations involving fractions and worked on simplifying values across different numerators, often using colour coding and textbook resources for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Sophie practised converting between whole numbers and improper fractions and completed worksheet exercises to strengthen her foundational maths skills.

Recent Challenges

Homework is left until the last minute which creates a bottleneck during tuition. A Year 9 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, with work often delayed until just before lessons. This habit meant less time for feedback and review in class.

In Year 11 English, there was difficulty integrating teacher feedback into new writing tasks—old errors crept back because earlier corrections weren't actively referenced.

For a Year 5 student, inconsistent handwriting and missed spelling practice made it hard to track progress over weeks.

One senior student's tendency to rely on familiar online maths methods sometimes blocked adoption of more efficient approaches in class.

Recent Achievements

One Mont Albert tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with network concepts and statistics, was able to pinpoint exactly where he'd gone wrong in his test papers—he now talks through mistakes out loud instead of guessing.

Another high schooler has shifted from solving every question laboriously to spotting patterns and intuiting answers during multiple-choice practice; he actively suggests shortcuts, showing real independence.

In primary sessions, a Year 4 student who used to avoid homework is now tackling assignments early in the week and even identified all key points in worded maths problems 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 Balwyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Holy Redeemer School.
