I think so rather than just teaching them if a tutor can actually make hard concepts easier for other students by using their experience and actually make learning fun then it would be really helpful for a student. As I am a post grad student I have recently gone through my tutorials and I know as a post grad student where do students face…

Being confident in their ability to learn is important because without it, students won't believe in themselves and won't put the effort to learn. I achieve this by creating a supportive environment during class as well as providing lots of active recall which give quick feedback and helps students learn. I can tell when students don't fully…

A tutor should focus more on the foundation of the student and focus more on the basics of the subject. Also, corelating the subject with real-life examples could make learning easier and more interesting. I believe I have the right amount of patience required to tutor students.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is improve the way in which they think about things. Whilst tutoring is catered to individual subjects, I believe a tutor can offer more than just skills in Maths or English - they can offer advice in general that can be applied to other academics and life as a whole. When a…

The most important role of a tutor is to help students build a strong and logical way of thinking about mathematics.

The most important thing for me would be patience - to ensure that you allow your student/s time to try and follow what is being taught, and to be understanding of different strengths/levels the student is at. I believe if I understand a concept really well (difficult or not), then I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense to a wide range…

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.
