As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content. Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to understand it.…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care.

Inside Globe Derby ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom worked on understanding time by reading analogue clocks and practicing addition and subtraction with decimals, while also strengthening recall of the 5 times tables.

In Year 10, Leticia focused on starting her maths investigation assignment by brainstorming and planning a comparative analysis of authors' earnings, developing her approach to research-based problem solving.

For Year 11, Alexis caught up on biology content missed due to illness, covering the basics of homeostasis and tolerance limits—what they are and their importance for living systems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 maths, one student hesitated to ask questions and lacked confidence applying skills like division and factorisation, especially when tackling new problem types—"She missed some foundational steps from her school's pathways," a tutor noted.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student relied heavily on calculators for multiplication and felt lost with worded problems; this dependence made it difficult to build fluency in arithmetic without digital aids.

In Year 12 physics, another student sometimes forgot to include units or convert to SI form before substituting values into equations, which led to small calculation errors during multi-step questions.

Recent Achievements

One Globe Derby Park tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated with trigonometry now confidently working through unknown angle problems on her own after only a single demonstration—a huge shift from her earlier reluctance to even attempt these questions.

In another high school session, a student who struggled to connect "completing the square" to graphing quadratic equations was able to link the two and solve both types of problems by the end of their lesson.

Meanwhile, a younger student who often rushed through addition has begun pausing to check for "carried" values, finishing all ten sums without missing any steps this time.

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 Mawson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Garden College.
