Not to teach an exact method for solving a problem, but to teach methods which work for particular general types of problems- techniques which allow them to become more familiar with how mathematics works. Also, to give them the confidence to experiment and learn from their mistakes. I understand how daunting a subject can be if a student loses…

As a tutor the most we can do for is a student is to encourage them to not just learn what's in the book but also to understand the concepts with a greater depth. The other thing that tutor can do for a student to maximise their educational growth is to try and make them understand the points where they are wrong and not just to do their work for…

Be honest as this helps to establish rapport and trust, the two most critical elements to a successful tutoring relationship. The tutor-student relationship should be viewed as a partnership. You are not there to take the place of the instructor. Let the student know you are there to work with her to supplement classroom and individual study. #…

Engage, Communicate, Feedback. I think these three are the pillars of a student's willingness to learn. Apart from that, it is the tutor's responsibility to ensure the students learn. Every student is different and needs a different approach sometimes. We've known this since the big bang probably. But we keep ignoring something even more…

The most important thing is to instil a positive mindset.

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject area. A student with more confidence will feel comfortable with the subject matter and will be able to apply it to a wider variety of questions and problems. Attaining this confidence can be achieved through a number of methods such as:…

Making them comfortable with the maths that they have to do, as opposed to just making sure they know how to do a problem.

Inside GillmanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Olivia focused on mastering number properties and operations, working through textbook problems in preparation for her upcoming maths test.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled calculus concepts by solving first derivative questions using differentiation rules from Chapter 2 of his textbook and completed multiple practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sienna reviewed applications of integration by going through practice questions to prepare for her assessment, ensuring she could confidently find areas under curves and solve applied problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student left work until the last minute, making it hard to finish a research task thoughtfully; "Jaeda does get 'bored' if she doesn't find the information straight away," her tutor noted, so reading for key facts was rushed and incomplete.

In Year 8 Maths, another student lost their homework sheet and had not completed set questions—when asked about arithmetic basics, gaps appeared that slowed progress on new material.

For one primary learner, missing library books and distraction led to careless spelling errors during reading time, with extra mistakes slipping through unchecked.

Recent Achievements

One Gillman tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Sienna, began preparing questions in advance for each session—something she hadn't done before—which helped her pinpoint and address gaps in her maths understanding.

In Year 10 English, Jaeda shifted from being quiet during lessons to actively offering suggestions for improving her narrative writing, even taking the lead on revising sections herself.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to hesitate when unsure about spelling started correcting mistakes independently after reviewing them with the tutor and now brings in her homework every week.

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 The Parks Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's School.
