In my opinion, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to make it clear to a student that they are capable and believe in their abilities as a student. This establishes trust and goes a long way in terms of fixing problems of difficulties in any subject area. It will also build a student's confidence in themself all while knowing there…

Being a teacher, it's his/her duty to make the student understand any concept accurately with an ease and with great patience. It is not right to shout or get angry on any person if he or she is not able to do any thing, all you need is some time and practice and also some tricks to solve any problem. I am a very patient person and work with full…

The most important things a tutor can do to a student is to make the student not to need a tutor any more (Be able to work alone without assistance from the tutor). My strengths as a tutor include: 1. My ability to make young students independent of myself. 2. My ability to raise the interest of the learner in the subjects of…

I believe that it is incredibly important for a tutor to inspire their student to achieve their very best in terms of their academics. I also believe that a tutor can act as a more relatable source of academic help instead of a teacher; a tutor can provide more in depth help outside the class room. I can sympathise with the students in terms of…

So far I have found several factors that make for good tutors. Firstly building a strong and personal relationship with the student is very important as the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor can add essential ingredients for students to learn and grow. Secondly, communication and collaboration with the student,…

Katie has been absolutely amazing to my daughter. Even just on the first trial session my daughter felt she has learned a lot from Katie. My daughter has been stressing out with her Chemistry assessment but with Katie's help she was able to submit it on time and hopefully she will get a high mark for it.

Inside Norman ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Yuvaan worked on probability using Venn diagrams and also practised finding the perimeter of sectors and calculating the volume of cylinders.

Year 10 student Emma focused on graphing logarithmic functions and solving optimisation questions by applying first and second derivatives to real-world scenarios.

For Year 11, Lucas revised probability density functions alongside quartile ranges, tackling practice problems from recent exam papers to strengthen his understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often became overwhelmed by complex calculus questions, "getting lost in formulas" and feeling stress when breaking down chain or substitution rules.

In Year 8, another struggled to recall key steps for algebraic simplification—sometimes forgetting methods mid-task, which led to confusion as problems grew harder.

For a younger primary student, difficulty focusing on one activity at a time showed up during numeracy: he wanted to switch back to writing letters instead of counting, and sometimes mixed up numbers like 15 and 51.

These patterns left gaps in understanding and made exam conditions more challenging.

Recent Achievements

A Norman Park tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's approach: after struggling to identify errors in their statistics work, they now catch mistakes on their own and use the correct method without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with integration rules can now quickly simplify expressions and spot derivatives of simple equations much faster than before.

On the primary side, one Year 1 learner—who was previously unsure about blending sounds—now independently blends and decodes new words during reading activities and counts up to fifty without hesitation.

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 New Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas' School.
