Explain. If a tutor can explain a concept in a way a student can understand and then is able to remember it and be able to apply it, the tutor has succeeded in his role. Also being able to listen to students, as a tutor should be able to find small mistakes and correct them as questions require perfection to some degree to achieve maximum marks.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is stepping into their shoes and acknowledging the time and effort it may require to reach their goals. This will allow tutors to better encourage and motivate the student while keeping them organised and disciplined. I am empathic and understand the pressure and stress that comes with…

This is most important as it is best to establish a good work environment and relation with the tutor so that they are not afraid…

First, create a learning space where they feel truly safe and valued. Second, you want to ensure that your student is genuinely supported and understanding the content. Remind them that mistakes are alright, and they…

A tutor can help a student to gain confidence. Usually students lose confidence and thus lose interest in a subject. Mathematics, being really important for career opportunities, is an interesting subject, we just need the right support at the right time and that's what tutors are there for. Confidence and hard work is the key to succeed in any…

It was so simple to order a tutor. Within a few days our tutor was at our place. Our tutor is excellent, he knows exactly what our son needs after we discussed what we needed help with . Our son gets on really well with our tutor and is enjoying one on one learning.

Inside WoodcroftTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Veda focused on strengthening fundamentals by tackling assessment questions across number operations and was introduced to algebraic thinking through basic problems.

For Year 10, the lesson with Arjun targeted trigonometric equations and identities, including simplifying expressions using key formulas.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 session for Sarah centred on ratios and rates as well as statistics, practising interpretation of data sets and proportional reasoning in context.

Recent Challenges

The Year 8 student's maths book showed confusing structuring of working out, which led to errors in equations, as a tutor observed.

In Year 3, forgetting to borrow when subtracting money or not knowing when to subtract caused repeated mistakes during problem-solving.

One senior student rarely revisited past topics, so key methods faded and revision tests were harder than expected—especially for HSC content.

Another high schooler skipped writing steps in algebra, making it tough to spot sign errors until late in the process.

Missing or incomplete homework was noted across several grades; this slowed recall and progress on new material.

Recent Achievements

One Woodcroft tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from hesitating on trigonometry questions to working through medium-difficulty problems independently and explaining her reasoning out loud.

Another high schooler, previously unsure about how to tackle worded algebra problems, has started identifying where she gets stuck and now asks for clarification instead of guessing—making it much easier to address gaps directly.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with time-telling last term can now read the clock accurately and draw different times on her own; in her last session, she completed every question without prompting.

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 Lalor Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Doonside High School.
