I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to encourage them to have a greater willingness to learn. A tutor should foster a student to have the confidence to actively solve problems through their own volition. I believe continuous growth can be achieved by an empowered student, motivated by their innate potential to…

I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set. By giving students the tools to succeed but letting them work through the problems first, it allows them to put forward any errors or miscommunications, which can then be…

the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure that the concept they have taught is clearly understood. One wrongly interpreted concept, especially in maths can be a huge hindrance in understanding other concepts in higher grades. Thus solving all the questions that students have with clarity is the tutor's biggest…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring.

Micro-skill is the second…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career.

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.
