I believe the most important role of a tutor is to empower the student by building their confidence and fostering a genuine understanding of the subject. Every student learns differently, so it’s essential to adapt my teaching approach to suit their individual learning style, hether that means breaking down complex concepts into simpler steps,…

I believe a tutor should be kind yet firm with the student in order to ensure that you are still doing your job, but in a professional manner. I also believe a tutor is a great role model for a student even beyond just academics and therefore, students can learn from the tutor’s experiences in life too - patience - trustworthy - kind -…

English Tutor Brookfield, VIC
Needless to say, students, especially those in their teenage years tend to struggle with their hormones and volatile emotions. The best a tutor can do is to never give up on a student and be understanding of their situation. Once that trust is built, it creates a healthier and more productive space for learning. In my opinion, a great teacher,…

Patience is the most important thing to have in a tutor because students don’t always understand it straightaway and it takes time and practice for people to be good at it. I also think that encouragement is beneficial because it lets students know that this is not impossible and it will get easier and understood better. I am a quick problem…

Inside Mount CottrellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Daisy revised indices for an upcoming test and then practiced quadratic equations, focusing on factorisation and completing the square.

Year 10 student Sienna worked through algebra basics and tackled measurement questions, with a focus on correcting errors from her pre-lesson test.

Meanwhile, Jennifer in Year 12 prepared for her Business Management SAC by practicing responses to different command terms and reviewing how to structure written answers using real exam-style scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with test anxiety—though confident in class, "he panics in exams," which led to incomplete answers despite knowing the material.

In a senior maths session, one student hesitated to check possible polynomial factors without synthetic division; this slowed problem-solving and dented confidence during more complex tasks.

For a Year 7 lesson, skipping written workings when calculating larger numbers made it hard to spot small errors, as one tutor observed: "she tried to do it all mentally, but lost track with bigger sums." Each moment led not just to missed marks but also a visible drop in self-assurance.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Cottrell recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when faced with worded maths problems now confidently breaks them down step by step, even tackling the trickier questions on her own during revision sessions.

In Year 9, one student who previously waited for help has started asking clarifying questions right away and works through difficult algebra independently before checking with the tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often guessed at answers now pauses to double-check her work and explains how she arrived at each solution before moving forward.

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 Melton Library & Learning Hub—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Lawrence of Brindisi Catholic Primary School.
