I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students. If something doesn't click the first time, I'm happy to explain it again in a different way.…

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student. The passion with which the tutor teaches the student matters a lot and this also influences the students influence on the subject. When a tutor teaches the student with passion, the student is definitely going to like the subject and learn with full passion as…

In my opinion, being a person that students are comfortable with to reach out for help is one of the most important things. A tutor should be there to assist them, not add stress or pressure to them. I also think it is important for tutors to motivate the students to learn, instead of just giving answers, and in motivating them, tutors should be…

For me, the most important thing is helping students actually enjoy math and feel comfortable with the process of not knowing right away. A lot of math is about sitting with that discomfort, resisting the urge to panic, and trusting that if you think logically, you’ll find a way through—even if it’s not the “textbook†method. I want…

Inside Devon ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Talia focused on simplifying fractions and converting them into decimals using long division.

In Year 9, Jason worked through algebraic expansion and practised applying the difference of two squares rule.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student revised solving quadratic equations and explored factorisation of quadratic trinomials, with extra practice using real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

Forgot to do her homework before the lesson in Year 8, which meant time had to be spent reviewing missed material instead of building new skills.

For a Year 9 topic test, the tutor noted she hadn't mentioned it ahead of time—this limited targeted revision and confidence on test day.

A recurring issue in Year 7 algebra was messy written work, making it hard for her to spot sign errors or follow solutions.

In senior grades, over-reliance on notes sometimes led to confusion with unfamiliar problems; one tutor observed, "she didn't use her notes efficiently during practice exercises."

Recent Achievements

A Devon Park tutor noticed Athena, a Year 10 student, has shifted from hesitating over worded problems to confidently constructing precise solutions and recently completed most test questions in the set time.

In Year 7 maths, Constanza used to rely on step-by-step guidance but now studies her notes independently and applies them to finish homework without prompting—she even asks thoughtful questions when she's unsure.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled with mental maths now solves basic and more complicated examples efficiently; last week, she got through all her timetables without needing 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 Prospect Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brompton Primary School.
