The most important things a tutor can do for the student, is to ensure them that, they have the freedom to ask any questions without inhibition. Students asking questions regarding the subject and me answering them as their tutor, is a way of building dialogue and creating a world of that specific subject in their minds. Being compassionate and…

Probably one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the support and confidence when approaching a subject or concept that they struggle with. Allowing the students to get to the point where they may no longer struggle in that subject. One of my major strengths as a tutor would probably have to be my…

Inspire. Not every child enjoys learning the way we need to in society so a teachers and tutors, we need to be able to be creative enough for those individual students who need more guidance.

As such…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to always try to understand their student. Everyone learns differently, needs help in different ways, and faces different problems. There's no one size fits all and tutoring offers students a chance that they don't have in classrooms of thirty other students where they a learn in a way that makes…

Engage, Communicate, Feedback. I think these three are the pillars of a student's willingness to learn. Apart from that, it is the tutor's responsibility to ensure the students learn.

Understanding and sociability are the most important traits for a tutor. The tutor needs to be attentive so they can understand the best approach to help a student with their work. Additionally, you do not want to come off as imposing or tough because you will make a student feel adverse towards studying and possibly about themselves. Being…

Local Reviews

Anna and Charlie get on well so tutoring is going well.

Inside PoorakaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Alex revised differentiation from first principles and applied calculus to projectile motion, including practice with tangent equations.

Year 11 student Priya worked through kinematics questions for an upcoming test and clarified optimisation techniques using example problems.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ethan tackled linear graphs—drawing up equations in y=mx+c form and interpreting coordinates—with extra focus on relating scenarios to graph movement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student's working was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly when applying the midpoint formula; this made it harder to catch sign errors.

Another Year 10 learner skipped steps when converting fractions, confusing positive and negative signs—a tutor noted, "skipping some steps mentally led to mix-ups with signs."

In a primary session, a child often struggled to explain their method or thinking aloud and hesitated to attempt verbal explanations during worded problems.

Without regular revision or organized written work, misunderstandings persisted into new topics and created barriers in problem-solving moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pooraka recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess at graph problems now setting out multi-step working clearly and explaining slope changes without prompting.

Another high schooler, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, initiated a discussion on projectile motion during a calculus session and worked through several tricky doubts before their test.

In a primary lesson, one child who previously rushed maths worksheets slowed down this week to check each answer and fixed mistakes independently—finishing the whole set with no corrections needed from the tutor.

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 Mawson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pooraka Primary School.
