I think the most important thing to do as a tutor is to amend the teaching style for different students. Motivation was one of the things that I and many of my peers struggled with, and so, the last thing I want is for my student to not be engaged in the content. One way to do this to include connections to the student's interests. In addition,…

Inside Mount ElizaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla focused on strengthening multiplication and long division skills, along with an introduction to working with fractions.

In Year 10, Olivia worked through quadratic equations by completing the square and applying the quadratic formula to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Harry tackled integration techniques for trigonometric functions and practised applying these methods to real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling algebraic fractions avoided showing full working, especially when negatives appeared—"he'd skip lines to keep the page tidy, but then sign errors crept in."

In a senior Methods lesson, one student relied heavily on notes and calculator for exact trig values, which slowed recall during integration questions.

A Year 10 learner faced setbacks with worded problems: not underlining key information meant missing marks despite understanding content.

For another, inconsistent formatting of answers in Year 7 math led to confusion; as noted, "formatting caused him to get a few questions wrong where his math was good."

Recent Achievements

One Mount Eliza tutor noted a Year 11 student who previously struggled to see connections in calculus now confidently uses first principles to differentiate, even applying the chain rule unprompted during practice.

In Year 9, a student who used to rely heavily on hints for algebraic rearrangement managed last week to solve simultaneous equations independently and checked their work without help.

Meanwhile, a younger learner—Year 4—who often second-guessed her answers before is now quick to show her working for multi-step addition and subtraction, proudly explaining each step aloud.

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 Mornington Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Eliza Secondary College.
