The most important thing a biology tutor can do is to make their students curious about the subject they are studying and help them retain the knowledge they had learnt I think my strengths are that I have a lot of knowledge in subjects that some students have trouble in and I can further expand that knowledge so that each student gets to…

Personally I believe it is very important to communicate the material to different types of students, everybody learns different and adapting to this is very important. Communication is key and you have to be clear when teaching content. I also believe it is important to create a safe space for students to be able to ask for help and feedback. As…

One of the most important things a biology tutor can do is to inspire students through education. The world of education is so vast and enriching, both primary and secondary school is a long journey and for my students to enjoy education rather than drag their feet through the process is one of my biggest hopes and goals. There are endless…

Allowing the student to grasp the content more than being able to memorise the lesson, I think is a vital value and being able to help them do that is what I think is the most important thing for me. Further, making sure they enjoy the content that they learn rather than feeling like they are forced to learn is another important condition.…

Pass on knowledge about how to become self-sufficient and break down work so that it's less overwhelming. Moreover, teaching students how to learn actively, rather than passively is incredibly significant. It is what will help prepare them for VCE, tertiary education, and just general adult life. Additionally, it is important that tutors…

A tutor must always fully and wholly understand his content and always develop innovative ways to communicate the information to their students; meaning - don't copy the textbook on a power point, instead develop your own materials My recent conclusion of year 12 gives me fresh knowledge on the current study designs, the appropriate material…

Being fully attentive and aware of the student. I know from experience that while in a classroom it’s very easy for a teacher to overlook a student asking a question, or even for the teacher to not answer the question as they misunderstood. However as a biology tutor, I’ll be able to re-open such dialogue and allow them to understand the…

A tutor should personalize lessons to fit the student's learning style and needs, ensuring concepts are clearly understood. They should also build the student's confidence and critical thinking abilities, encouraging independence.

Patience is really one of the key players that should take part when tutoring a student. The time and effort one should invest in a student will really play a massive role in making gradual changes for the student naturally leading to a greater milestone in their learning process. Showing empathy is another factor. Having the ability to understand…

Teach them to be confident, and show them that its not merely okay to ask questions, but to its essential for the development of an individual. I'm very laid back, and down to earth so I can get along well with almost everyone.

The most important think a biology tutor can do is teach, not tell. Its easy to give information, tips for studying etc, but to get the student to pay attention, be attentive and actively learn is a different story. A student that can do that will not only get better grades, do well in school etc, but also find what they are passionate about in…

Give them time to learn and not just push through content. Making the student feel as if they are achieving a lot and building a student-tutor relationship where they can tell you exactly what they find challenging. No judgement and patience is needed. I'm quite patient and can adapt easily. Being adaptable is essential as everyone learns in a…

Inside PakenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie focused on adding and subtracting fractions as well as operations with negative integers, using number lines for clarity.

In Year 8, Liam practised converting decimals to fractions and worked through perimeter calculations by breaking shapes into simpler parts.

For Year 10, Priya explored linear graphs—specifically finding gradients—and began work on non-linear graph interpretation with practical examples from coordinate geometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student struggled with worded problems and often left working untidy, making it hard to spot calculation errors—"written layout in multi-step questions was unclear."

A Year 9 learner relied heavily on calculator use for basic arithmetic, skipping mental checks in fraction work.

For a Year 10 student, revision time focused mostly on familiar algebra drills while avoiding application-style graphing tasks.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, missing the step of memorising exact values for trigonometric equations meant "she hesitated during SACs when no formula sheet was allowed," leading to avoidable delays under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Pakenham tutor noticed that a Year 8 student who used to get stuck on algebraic notation now works through questions independently, pausing only to check her process.

In a recent high school session, Tatum began using the financial solver tool on her calculator without prompting—last term she avoided it entirely and needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Sophie started taking her own notes during fraction lessons; this was a first for her as she'd previously relied only on the tutor's explanations. Last week, she completed all ten practice problems using her new method.

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakwood School-Pakenham Campus.
