It is vital, especially in year 12, for a tutor to unlock a student's full potential in a certain subject, in order to ensure that they perform confidently in their exams, fully knowing that they are doing the best that they can, and have utilized all the available resources. Dedication to a student i.e. going above and beyond to cater to a…

Listen to the student. I firmly belive that students know where they lack and what's stopping them from achieving their goals. Ensure the student doesn't lose hope or motivation to study. It is imperative that students get enough time and space to practically apply what they learn in ways that pique their interests. As a tutor I strive to first…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them the confidence they need to sit an exam and believe that they have the skills required to answer the questions in front of them. I have had a number of students come to me with issues relating to this, along the lines of 'I just had no idea what to do.' I aim to equip my students…

In addition to increasing the student's confidence in his/her academic prowess through his/her understanding of a difficult concept, a tutor may also help incite the innate curiosity of a life-long learner. Likewise, not only does a tutor help achieve and maintain academic excellence, but also build sustainable life-long skills that may aid the…

Build their confidence as much as their knowledge. A lot of students who struggle aren't actually bad at the subject they've just convinced themselves they are. Fixing that mindset matters as much as getting the right answer. I'm good at breaking down complex problems step by step without overcomplicating it. I also don't make students feel stupid…

A tutor should be capable enough to teach their students in a way where the knowledge imparted isn't just taught for the exams or tests, but taught as a lesson which will remain with them for the rest of their lives. I am extremely patient when it comes to explaining a concept. I am very calm and composed around people who are younger to me.…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence while helping them understand the subject.

I believe that a tutor should not only explain concepts clearly but also create a…

Honest: Don’t hesitate to say that you do not know about a particular concept. Trying to bluff your way through will only hurt the student and your reputation in the long run. 3.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them build small skills which they are able to use in their lives. For example, helping a student open up means that they have developed that skill which will help them to open up to their teachers perhaps at school etc. I believe that the role of a teacher is to help students grow…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ignite a passion and 'vision' for learning. Our current society tends to view academia as a means to an end as opposed to an ends in itself, and if a tutor awakens a love for the subject in his student, then they have succeeded. By doing so, the student becomes more engaged and receptive…

Deepti has been tutoring my daughter for 1 year now. I am so happy with the difference it has made to my daughters understanding of a subject that she was very behind in and I was very concerned.

Inside ParkdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daisy practiced long division with three-digit numbers and began adding fractions with a focus on finding common denominators.

For Year 11, Connor worked through the chain rule in differentiation before moving on to integrals as part of his Maths Methods preparation.

Meanwhile, Jules in Year 8 focused on dividing and multiplying fractions using negative numbers, reinforcing the reciprocal method and applying these skills to mixed-number problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to organize revision materials, as noted: "Needs to make a notes book for tests and revision," which left her scrambling before assessments.

In VCE Maths, one student relied on quick fixes, over-erasing errors in matrix multiplication rather than reviewing mistakes, causing repeated slip-ups in practice sets.

For a Year 8 English task, feedback was not fully taken up—she overlooked tutor suggestions when planning essays, so progress on writing structure stalled.

Meanwhile, a primary learner forgot essential items like protractors and homework books several times; this disrupted sessions and meant key skills (like measuring angles) were left unpracticed.

Recent Achievements

A Parkdale tutor recently noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with Maths Methods made substantial gains, showing improved test scores and confidently tackling more advanced integration questions on his own.

In another high school session, Archer moved from occasionally missing minor details in extended response tasks to independently picking up and correcting these mistakes during practice, demonstrating new self-awareness in his approach.

Meanwhile, Remi in primary school became noticeably more engaged with division after lessons were gamified—he now eagerly uses catchphrases and strategies to work through problems, finishing a large codebreaker activity without losing focus.

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 Kingston Information & Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Parkdale Primary School.
