The most crucial role of a tutor is to avoid skipping steps unless the student fully comprehends the material. Observing problem-solving methods can be helpful, but it's the student's grasp of the logical progression behind solving problems that enables them to excel. I strive to leverage my communication skills and adaptability to discern and…

Personally, a tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and being…

I think a tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make sure the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and slowly help the student understand. If they are not quite getting the content, a tutor should also be able to teach it with a different approach, and eventually find a method that is intuitive for the student. As a tutor, some of my strengths are patience,…

We are really happy with Sophia, she's a great role model and helped my daughter's confidence and understanding of maths improve.

Inside Mount KeiraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily revised addition and subtraction of fractions using visual aids, and practised converting between fractions and decimals.

Year 9 student Olivia worked through trigonometric relations, focusing on solving for unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles as well as simplifying expressions involving sin(x) and cos(x).

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam focused on factorisation of quadratics and completed take-home assessment preparation by breaking down worded problems into algebraic equations.

Recent Challenges

Inconsistent back-checking on worded maths problems led to repeated errors in simpler content for a Year 10 student; as the tutor noted, "back checking was inconsistent leading to a few mistakes."

A Year 8 English student's paragraphs were disorganised and relied heavily on familiar phrases, making arguments harder to follow and less convincing.

A Year 3 learner avoided showing workings for basic multiplication and time calculations, often getting stuck when asked to explain reasoning aloud.

A senior student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar coordinate geometry questions without support, slowing their progress through exam-style tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Keira noticed Remy, a high school student, now asks clarifying questions whenever he's unsure—whereas he previously hesitated and often pressed on without checking his understanding.

In English, Sebastien has shifted from repeating phrases in essays to purposefully editing for concise language after realising the impact of varied vocabulary; this was a big change from earlier drafts that were unfocused.

Meanwhile, Emily (Year 7) used to struggle with adding fractions but recently completed multi-fraction problems independently and even tackled algebraic expressions ahead of her class content.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Keira Public School.
