The most important thing is allowing students to become independent. The tutor should show them how to solve problems so that they can do them themselves and not just solve problems for them. My strength is illustrating concepts and finding the right examples that explain the point best. I also have good communication skills that make the student…

Setting high but achievable standards for students is essential as it pushes students to break self-imposed barriers. It enables them to discover themselves and gives them the much-needed confidence to excel in their academics or prospective career path. My strength lies in my ability to condense complex academic text in order to adapt to a…

I believe it depends highly on the students understanding and their level of education. However in saying this, the ability to create interest and enjoyment in a subject is the most important. As from my own experience enjoying a subject and being interested in the topic helps greatly in motivating a person to understand and achieve well in it. I…

I consider comprehension and confidence in one's skills to be the most crucial thing a tutor should endeavour for their students to grasp. Once a student's comprehension level reaches a certain stage, their progress will be much faster and smoother. Whilst also their confidence becomes a fuel of reinforcement for their drive in achieving their…

I believe that the two most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to help them gain a passion for their studies, and to teach them to apply their study skills to all of their subjects. I think that these two factors can really help students succeed with school and allow them to reach their full potential elsewhere in life. One of…

A tutor should be knowledgeable to be able to address all concerns of a student and check when unable to immediately answer a query. Additionally a tutor should be easy to talk to, allowing for untrained conversations between student and tutor. Finally, a tutor should be able to motivate their students, ridding them of the disbelief that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student to lift them up what they feel mostly interested while learning anything. To motivate them while they do something new and bring any new idea to resolve any problem. That will help to develop the psychology of a student in more positive way to move forward with their willingness of thinking…

I think the most important goal as a tutor is to create a positive environment for a student.

Second to this is the ability to help a student gain an instinctive understanding of the concept manner. More than just helping with…

Based on my experience, I would love to help my students to find out the most appropriate study method for them. As I was in secondary school, science subjects were not my preferable subjects at all.

A tutor must be able to build a students confidence, and not a dependence. For instance, lets say in physics, rather than teaching a student to memorise formula or answer, a good tutor will ensure the student understands the subject and how to apply it. This mindset is extremely crucial to building student confidence, and it stays in memory much…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is that they have the drive and the patience for them until they learn.

Local Reviews

Ben is very diligent and commited. He tutored both my daughter's who showed marked improvement. He prepared for sessions and always kept us informed of the girls progress. He is a thoughtful and considerate guy and the girls responded well to his demeanour. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone that wants a tutor to elevate their child's academic performance.

Inside ParkvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Seamus focused on trigonometry, specifically applying sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems, and also reviewed algebraic simplification using index laws.

For Year 11, Mia completed revision of matrices—including operations like multiplication and finding inverses—and worked through weighted graphs with Dijkstra's algorithm from the networks chapter, practising questions for her upcoming SACs.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya tackled exam-style questions on data analysis, including linear regression and standard deviation, while also strengthening her understanding of financial mathematics by practising compound interest problems.

Recent Challenges

During recent sessions, several process-related habits have stood out across both junior and senior levels.

In Year 11 maths, a student did not complete assigned homework or school holiday tasks; as the tutor observed, "she forgot most of the contents from chapter 7," making new work harder to grasp.

For a Year 12 student preparing for VCE, inconsistent note-taking and a lack of organisation in her bound reference book meant she struggled to quickly locate formulas during timed practice exams.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's written work in algebra was messy—her steps were unclear, leading to confusion when checking answers.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Parkville noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through maths sums is now taking time to spot and correct mistakes, leading to more accurate answers.

In English, a Year 10 student has begun incorporating specific evidence into essays after previously struggling to support arguments, and can now clearly structure paragraphs using the PEEL method.

From a younger group, one Year 5 student has started regularly asking questions when unsure instead of staying silent—something she rarely did before—and finished her multiplication practice independently by the end of the session.

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 Kathleen Syme Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like University High School.
