A tutor must be willing to work with and adapt for each student. It is critical to not treat tutoring as one-size-fits-all - indeed many students may be getting a tutor because standard learning methods aren't working for them. It is also essential that tutors create a safe learning space where students are free to ask questions and give opinions.…

The most important thing is ensuring you build confidence in a students understanding of the subject as a whole as it is through this that a student would be able to face any questions that may be posed to them and have confidence within themselves that they are able to understand the topics given throughout their learning. Without this, you would…

Being a good tutor requires you to be a good listener. Without listening to problems that students may experience, the time spent for both the student and the tutor will be wasted. I take pride in my ability to allow students to communicate any struggles that they may have before starting. In addition, being engaging while teaching ensures that…

Inside ParkdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daisy practiced long division with three-digit numbers and began adding fractions with a focus on finding common denominators.

For Year 11, Connor worked through the chain rule in differentiation before moving on to integrals as part of his Maths Methods preparation.

Meanwhile, Jules in Year 8 focused on dividing and multiplying fractions using negative numbers, reinforcing the reciprocal method and applying these skills to mixed-number problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to organize revision materials, as noted: "Needs to make a notes book for tests and revision," which left her scrambling before assessments.

In VCE Maths, one student relied on quick fixes, over-erasing errors in matrix multiplication rather than reviewing mistakes, causing repeated slip-ups in practice sets.

For a Year 8 English task, feedback was not fully taken up—she overlooked tutor suggestions when planning essays, so progress on writing structure stalled.

Meanwhile, a primary learner forgot essential items like protractors and homework books several times; this disrupted sessions and meant key skills (like measuring angles) were left unpracticed.

Recent Achievements

A Parkdale tutor recently noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with Maths Methods made substantial gains, showing improved test scores and confidently tackling more advanced integration questions on his own.

In another high school session, Archer moved from occasionally missing minor details in extended response tasks to independently picking up and correcting these mistakes during practice, demonstrating new self-awareness in his approach.

Meanwhile, Remi in primary school became noticeably more engaged with division after lessons were gamified—he now eagerly uses catchphrases and strategies to work through problems, finishing a large codebreaker activity without losing focus.

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 Kingston Information & Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Parkdale Primary School.
