Personally, the best thing a tutor can do for a student is change their perspective regarding their weak subjects, Mathematics in particular has always been a favorite of mine yet I have had students who used to start sweating whenever we pulled out the textbook. However, once they realized that Mathematics can actually be quite fun, their…

Personally, when I was a student the most important effect of good teachers and tutors was regaining confidence in myself. They showed me that it was okay to fail, how to bounce back, and how to learn from my mistakes. Having a strong education is a wonderful thing, but having been through the whole K-12-Uni-Workforce pipeline by far the best…

I believe the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide patient and constant support for them outside of their classroom, and try to clear all their doubts effectively.

Inside BanksiaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sasha practised measurement skills by working through questions from Chapter 8 and also received support on specific homework problems.

In Year 10, James revised simultaneous equations using the elimination method and focused on understanding coefficients through step-by-step examples.

For Year 12, Charlotte completed practice questions on networks, rates, and ratios directly aligned with the Standard Mathematics syllabus to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling networks found it difficult to memorise key definitions and formulas, which slowed progress; as the tutor noted, "explaining the parts of the topic he didn't understand was hard without repeating myself."

In Year 7 algebra, another student consistently avoided writing out working for equations, making sign errors harder to catch.

For a primary creative writing task, one child hesitated to try new ideas out of fear of mistakes—leading to less original responses.

Meanwhile, in senior trigonometry revision, incomplete homework limited the depth of discussion and practice on advanced problems.

Recent Achievements

One Banksia tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with ratios in the past, began identifying calculation errors independently and even caught a mistake before the tutor did during a complex networks problem.

In another high school session, a student who used to skip showing working for algebra now writes out each step and talks through her process aloud without prompting, making it much easier to catch mistakes early.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently started asking for extra worksheets on mixed numerals—something she previously avoided—and now tries new fraction problems by herself before seeking help.

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 Bayside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arncliffe Public School.
