Most people's perception of the job of a tutor is always to guide a student to be successful in the study/subject. Although that is an important role as a tutor, I find the most important aspect a tutor can do for a student is to further ignite their passion and interest in their subject. No matter how much a tutor can help, but if a student does…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the subject in their level of understanding and teach them the fundamentals. Sometimes it can be a challenge to explain some advanced theories especially to young minds but if we teach them to master the basics, then it would be easier for them to grasp future lessons. I…

I consider that the most important thing is faith in their students. No matter how dire the situation is, a tutor's faith and belief in their student should not waver. As students are looking to better themselves, a tutor's belief in them is crucial as they look towards their mentor for guidance. This, in addition with a tutor's well researched…

A tutor must always be there for their students, support them through their struggles on a particular topic/subject. But as well as adapting to different styles of delivering content to the student, as each student excels through different methods of teaching. As a tutor I believe it is not the amount of knowledge of tutor knows but the…

One of the most important roles of a tutor is to have the ability to cater their support to individual learning styles, and to further strengthen the knowledge they gain from their school teachers. A tutor should be able to foster the students' personal problem solving and critical thinking skills, and equip them with strategies to approach…

the most important would be listening and being able to understand the student's ability.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive learning environment that builds a student’s self-belief. A tutor should not only help improve academic outcomes but also nurture a growth mindset. This means celebrating effort, progress, and resilience not just correct answers. Whether I'm helping a student prepare…

Teach them to be confident, and show them that its not merely okay to ask questions, but to its essential for the development of an individual. I'm very laid back, and down to earth so I can get along well with almost everyone. I think this makes me a potentially effective tutor, as students feel free to make mistakes/ask questions which allows…

The most important think a tutor can do is teach, not tell. Its easy to give information, tips for studying etc, but to get the student to pay attention, be attentive and actively learn is a different story. A student that can do that will not only get better grades, do well in school etc, but also find what they are passionate about in that area.…

Give them time to learn and not just push through content.

I'm quite patient and can adapt easily. Being adaptable is essential as everyone learns in a…

Inside PakenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie focused on adding and subtracting fractions as well as operations with negative integers, using number lines for clarity.

In Year 8, Liam practised converting decimals to fractions and worked through perimeter calculations by breaking shapes into simpler parts.

For Year 10, Priya explored linear graphs—specifically finding gradients—and began work on non-linear graph interpretation with practical examples from coordinate geometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student struggled with worded problems and often left working untidy, making it hard to spot calculation errors—"written layout in multi-step questions was unclear."

A Year 9 learner relied heavily on calculator use for basic arithmetic, skipping mental checks in fraction work.

For a Year 10 student, revision time focused mostly on familiar algebra drills while avoiding application-style graphing tasks.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, missing the step of memorising exact values for trigonometric equations meant "she hesitated during SACs when no formula sheet was allowed," leading to avoidable delays under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Pakenham tutor noticed that a Year 8 student who used to get stuck on algebraic notation now works through questions independently, pausing only to check her process.

In a recent high school session, Tatum began using the financial solver tool on her calculator without prompting—last term she avoided it entirely and needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Sophie started taking her own notes during fraction lessons; this was a first for her as she'd previously relied only on the tutor's explanations. Last week, she completed all ten practice problems using her new method.

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 Oakwood School-Pakenham Campus.
