To build their confidence in the subject, If they feel they are not able to complete a section and lose motivation they should be shown that they absolutely can, and to not give up. This is a big issue in exams and tests where capable students feel demoralized after struggling with a single question and lose their motivation and confidence for…

I think that helping a student understand the basic concept of what they are learning to ensure that they have a strong foundation for future learning. This may lead to a new appreciation for the subject matter. As well as ensuring that no student remains behind their year level to develop more nuanced future adults. I believe that I am able to…

The most important thing I can do for a student is to permanently change the outlook a student has on a subject. If my students can go from viewing e.g. maths as a boring and tedious subject to viewing it as fun and rewarding, I'm succeeding in my mission as a tutor. I am good at making personal connections and introducing novel ways to approach…

I think patience is undeniably one of the most important trait a tutor can have. Apart from patience, adaptability to each student's learning requirement and having a solid foundation on the topic is equally important.

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.
