A tutor must always be there for their students, support them through their struggles on a particular topic/subject.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be organised and be understanding. A tutor is unlike a classroom teacher, as we are given the opportunity to work solely 1:1 with a student. Therefore, understanding a student's needs, wants and goals is imperative. Similarly, being organised and having a clear goal is equally as important.…

Inside Officer SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Elisha worked on place value and long multiplication, stepping back to solidify foundational number skills before moving towards more complex operations.

In Year 7, Naomi focused on algebraic techniques and understanding place values, starting with a pre-year assessment to identify strengths and gaps.

For Year 8, Colin practiced simplifying algebraic expressions and explored different types of number patterns, using worked examples for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes left homework incomplete, as seen when sections of assigned work were missing; this meant time in-session was spent catching up rather than extending learning.

In a senior maths session, confusion arose during trigonometry problems due to over-reliance on calculators and skipping written working—"he did it all on the calculator but couldn't explain the steps."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student avoided longer worded questions in her workbook by skipping them entirely if they looked complex, only realising their simplicity once reviewed together.

One Year 10 student repeatedly overlooked tutor feedback, especially regarding misreading perimeter and area questions, which led to recurring errors across tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Officer South tutor noticed a big shift in Naomi, a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on worded maths questions—she now pauses to break down what's being asked before starting her calculations, instead of guessing or freezing.

In another high school session, Ella managed to factorise and expand independently after struggling with these steps earlier in the term.

For a younger student, Elisha (Year 5) has begun reading more fluently out loud and recently wrote two essays packed with detailed ideas, showing she's moving from basic summaries to richer writing without prompting.

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cardinia Primary School.
