Firstly, it is essential that a tutor encourages a comprehensive understanding of content, as opposed to rote learning in an attempt to 'get good grades'. For example, instead of simply making a student memorise a formula, a tutor should explain its theory, why it works and how to apply it in various contexts. This understanding ensures that they…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, create a safe space for learning, and help them become independent thinkers.

Explaining the concepts clearly and easily along with appropriate examples are the must for a tutor. But, more importantly, a tutor should help students cultivate good habits like hard work, discipline, confidence, time management etc. By doing so, a student not only grows academically but also personally. And this can help them in the future. I…

Local Reviews

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.
