It is crucial to break down complex ideas into manageable sections and go through these thoroughly.

I always say that the most important thing is being patient. I know that every child is different, so tutors have to adapt to each child and teach children in the appropriate way, since each student understands subjects differently. I am a young person, so I am able to understand a child in many situations. I am aware of mental health and the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only instruct, but listen. Tutoring is a beneficial one on one experience, therefore tutoring has opportunities to become specialised for the students benefit.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them grow not only as a student, but as a person. In my previous experience, I have found that oftentimes a student who achieves average academic results often does so due to fears of failure, or perhaps disinterest in the subject. I believe that the tutor can be paramount…

Inside Gordon ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily worked through applying Pythagoras' Theorem to complex shapes and revisited how to prove the theorem using diagrams.

In Year 10, Noah focused on factorising both monic and non-monic quadratic equations as well as solving them with step-by-step algebraic methods.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex tackled constant acceleration problems in linear motion and reviewed thermal equilibrium concepts in physics, using real-world scenarios to deepen understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Physics student struggled with manipulating equations for heat and energy—"swapping denominators and quotients" caused confusion, which slowed progress in qmcΔt calculations.

In Year 8, a student's working was often hard to follow; as one tutor noted, "legibility and setting out of working" made it difficult to spot calculation errors during algebra tasks.

A Year 10 learner repeatedly avoided homework, saying they "could not find book," so new concepts in trigonometry remained shaky week-to-week.

In English (Year 12), research assignments stalled when evidence wasn't evaluated or sources properly organized, leaving introductions unfinished and arguments unclear.

Recent Achievements

A Gordon Park tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now reads worded maths problems aloud and talks through each step before attempting answers, showing more self-direction.

In a senior session, one student's marks jumped in their latest practice exam after weeks of struggling with non-monic quadratic factorisation—now tackling these confidently without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner, who used to rush and make errors when calculating surface areas, now pauses to identify all shapes involved and correctly substitutes measurements before moving on.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Padua College.
