I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen, and to be a pillar of support they can lean on not only in their academics, but also in their personal lives. High school can be a really stressful period for students, not only in the immense pressure that students are under but also with the dramatic shifts their minds…

Tutoring to me is about ensuring the student can feel comfortable in their understanding and are not afraid to ask for help, and can do so without any judgement. In the past I have known school teachers to somewhat look down on students for lack of comprehension around maths problems and will aim to ensure that no student feels this way and will…

Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is ensuring that the student knows the content that has been taught. Also make sure that you are listening to the student and try to minimise their weaknesses and maximise their strengths. As a tutor, my strengths are being confident and only speaking what I know of. I will only teach…

I believe that there is no easy way in tutoring, the same as there is no easy way to get the answer. Whenever they are stuck it is our job to guide them through and companying them along. Whenever there are difficult times, give out the answers is never the way to solve the problem. I'm very patient when teaching my students, I wouldn't mind…

I think there are two main things a tutor can do for a student; maintain high grades and garner a positive attitude. It is imperative as a tutor's job to help the student maintain or achieve high grades in the particular area of study. However, high academic standards are not simply enough. It is also important for a tutor to build up an…

Inside MitchamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sav explored the key themes and ideas in George Orwell's 1984 and practised structuring analytical essay introductions and body paragraphs.

Year 11 student Manya focused on using sentence starters to build effective analytical paragraphs, as well as analysing symbols within her set text beyond surface meaning.

In VCE Biology, Year 12 student Zoe reviewed core bioethical principles before tackling dihybrid cross questions with worked examples drawn from past exam papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with timed essay writing—she finds it difficult to finish introductions quickly, which meant her full responses were often incomplete during practice.

In VCE Biology, the same student's errors on bioethics MCQs stemmed from insufficient revision and confusion between key definitions, especially when "extra information in questions" was present.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly omitted full sentences and overlooked grammatical details in reading tasks; she also mixed up number placement in long division and left times-tables unmastered past 6×9.

During English lessons, messy paragraph structure made it hard for teachers to follow her argument progression.

Recent Achievements

One Mitcham tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after previously skipping questions under time pressure, now works through them methodically—recently answering previously missed exam questions correctly when given more support with timing strategies.

Another high schooler, Sav, moved from struggling to identify what made an essay strong to confidently breaking down sample introductions and structuring her own without much prompting.

For a younger student, Tia initially found combinations and reading comprehension challenging but now shows real independence by tackling tricky maths scenarios step-by-step and consistently finding key answers directly from the text.

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 Nunawading Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John's School.
