Quick to answer question with confidence to lead the student to success. Apart from my strengths, that I do think are important qualities to have as a tutor, being reliable in terms of having an answer to a student's question is important. I am good at problem solving so will generally handle such a situation well, but experience can make…

The most important thing for me as tutor would be to develop a good Rapport with the student. This rapport builds comfortability with the student to ensure they are more comfortable in asking for help and explaining the sections that they are struggling with better. It is also important as a tutor to identify the learning needs and styles of the…

A tutor should be able to understand how they can help a student and should teach content or provide help in a way that suits their student's learning style. This would ensure that students are able to learn easier and with less stress. Students should not just be taught what to learn but also how to learn depending on the topic learnt, since it…

One of the most important things in tutoring is to understand the way the student thinks, and the ways they learn most efficiently, through which the way of teaching can then by oriented or altered to suit the learner to learn most effectively. I can explain complex ideas in the most simple ways for students to understand, I always also create…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to inspire students through education. The world of education is so vast and enriching, both primary and secondary school is a long journey and for my students to enjoy education rather than drag their feet through the process is one of my biggest hopes and goals. There are endless possibilities…

A tutor should be friendly, approachable, and able to build trust. This helps students feel confident and open about their challenges so we can solve problems together. Clear explanations and patient, encouraging support are also essential With a background in computer science and STEM studies, I can provide strong, clear academic support in Maths…

I believe that active communication and listening skills is key to a students' improvement in their learning. Without it, there is no point in teaching something that is finally going to ended up misunderstood or even not understood at all. Receiving and providing active feedbacks between students and tutor is essential for the tutor to provide…

Local Reviews

Maddison has recently commenced as a maths tutor for Charlotte. Maddison has been very positive in her approach, confident and patient. Charlotte is really enjoying the sessions with Maddison and has already picked up some quick concepts to progress her learning. Maddison has been motivational and we are confident by the end of the year, Charlotte will approach high school with confidence.

Inside Mount BurnettTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Mehar worked on converting between decimals and fractions using place value knowledge, as well as revising how to add and subtract fractions with practice on number lines.

In Year 11, Gavin tackled graphing logarithmic and exponential functions by exploring how transformations shift the original graph, then began learning about anti-differentiation through step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Alexander in Year 12 focused on physics concepts including kinematics, motion with constant acceleration, and analysing forces on inclined planes in preparation for his upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, a student missed homework and did not bring personal notes to lessons, instead relying solely on teacher-provided material; as a tutor noted, "he was not organised with his notetaking from school and did not complete homework given last class." This lack of independent organisation meant confusion when revising formulas for area and perimeter.

Meanwhile, in Year 12 Specialist Maths, one student's revision remained general rather than focused on exam-style questions or time-limited practice, so planning for Paper 1 was shallow.

In middle years, a Year 7 student lost confidence after setbacks in division—during lessons she would "lose focus until I gave her questions to do"—which slowed her progress in fraction simplification.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Burnett tutor saw a real change in Gavin, a senior student who recently solved quadratic inequalities independently using the discriminant and could clearly explain how to use kinematic equations for constant acceleration—this is a big step up from when he struggled with applying these formulas.

Mehar, in middle school, has started adding and subtracting fractions confidently after mastering the butterfly method, even though she hadn't learned this at school yet.

For a younger learner, Evie now tries to sound out unfamiliar words instead of saying "I don't know," showing much more persistence than before.

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 Emerald Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gembrook Primary School.
