Be encouraging and supportive, understanding that mistakes and errors are a part of the learning process. Additionally, tutors should encourage a lot of questions from the student. Tutors should also not generalise their teaching but rather tailor it to each student, and if possible make it enjoyable. Lastly, it is important to be on the same page…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to boost their self-confidence and self belief so they understand their capabilities to perform well in their academics. My biggest strength as a tutor is my adaptable teaching style. I am able to modify my teaching style to the preference and learning style of my students so they can learn…

Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive. I feel like growing up most teachers were boring, and could not deliver the concept or usefulness of the things that were being taught. So when I teach I make sure I deliver not only the concepts…

Letting the student also feel involved in their learning, as opposed to being ordered around sets up a safe environment for the student.

As teachers have to look over a lot of students, students who fall behind or struggle with conventional learning styles only get a limited amount of help. This is where the tutor jobs come in and provide a customized learning experience that is ideal and unique to each student. Tutors are like safety inspectors where they 1. Recheck their…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to inspire passion; a person who is sincerely interested in a subject and has a drive to continue delving into it will naturally go much further and achieve much higher then an unmotivated genius no matter the intellect as they will enjoy the entire journey of learning and not just focus on the results.

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing.

Generally, students that seek the help of a tutor are struggling with the approach of their teacher to explaining a certain subject.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help build their confidence. A student is able to do anything, learn anything but only if they believe that they can do it or learn it.

Truly the most important thing any tutor can do for a student is to help create and cultivate a growth mindset. By doing this, students become lifelong, innovative learners. This certainly occurs in the classroom, but teachers are expected to do this to upwards of 20+ children. Tutors are important to students because they assist in expanding…

Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. When a tutor…

I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject. If the student is able to walk away from a session being able to understand the concept and feel interested and confident with it, they not only will gain better results in exams but will have a better idea of the subject as…

Inside ParkwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Connor practised converting between units of length, volume, and mass, then reinforced measurement skills with area calculations and perimeter problems.

In Year 8, Seb worked through linear equations by plotting graphs to identify gradients and y-intercepts, as well as rearranging formulas to make x the subject using step-by-step algebraic methods.

For a senior student in Year 11 General Maths, recent sessions focused on applying the binomial theorem and analysing geometric sequences, including revision for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, one student avoided showing working when rearranging equations, leading to repeated confusion—"minimal writing" meant errors went unnoticed.

In Year 10, a learner skipped assigned textbook questions before an exam and struggled with significant figures; as the tutor noted, "she must do the homework questions I assigned to her before Monday for her exam."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student kept forgetting key formulas in functions and did not record their steps clearly. The result: time was spent retracing old ground instead of moving forward confidently into new concepts or assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Parkwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely heavily on hints now independently solves linear function problems, even plotting graphs and pinpointing gradients without prompting.

In a recent session with a Year 12 group, students who previously mixed up how to calculate tax demonstrated clear understanding by correctly working through complex taxation scenarios on their own.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4—who often hesitated over her times tables—confidently recited the fours and explained why order of operations matters before moving on to trickier BODMAS challenges.

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 Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arundel State School.
