Use different methods to different students. Give them the best way to understand the topic. Answer students’ questions when they have a problem whenever the time is. I believe that start to learn will never be late at any time. Encourage students and give them confidence are the most important things. English is my second language. So I would…

I think that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is be supportive and motivate them to really believe that they are capable of excelling and doing their absolute best. By giving them this confidence in their own abilities, they will then begin to know that they are able to do so much more with an open mindset and can begin…

Make them feel important.

Build a relationship that will result in their confidence building naturally, with every little step of success along the way. Breaking…

Encouraging a student to let them find their own way to solve problems and for future study.

A tutor should be proactive in seeking feedback from students and find how to best teach them as everyone learns differently. It is also important to communicate with parents and ensure they have a mutual understanding of their children’s work nature and how to support them. From my experience of being tutored during VCE, I learned that…

the most important thing a tutor can do is to have an open mind. not all students think the same, and some will have different learning methods than others. Hence, it is important for a tutor to adapt their teaching style to what would best help each individual student. my biggest strength would be my ability to relate and connect with students.…

The best thing a tutor can do for their student is to properly listen to them. A tutor or academic mentor can do so much more than just spew out a lesson plan; they can listen to the students' concerns, whether that's about the subject or their general emotions. Once their queries are eliminated, students can enter the right headspace to focus on…

I believe besides the obvious academic sides, it is important to just be genuine as more than a tutor for a student and try to help them as much as I can whether as an older peer to look up towards to or just someone to talk to. If I treat tutoring as a chore or a job, I feel like the student will be able to feel that and that's why it's more…

For me the most important part I can do for a student is to build a genuine and strong connection with them. I believe that when a strong and relaxed relationship is created with students, they are far more likely to take ownership of their learning. Alongside this, I think without this factor many students will struggle to actually learn and…

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.
