I consider the time and space a tutor gives to the student the most important thing. It is all about what they, as the student, are comfortable with. However, this does not stop another important aspect; pushing a student through their limits in order to achieve their goals. These are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. I…

Encourage them! Sometimes the issue isn't in the difficulty of the concept, but that they don't believe in themselves. I believe bringing the right attitude of positive reinforcement can really make a difference as well as demonstrating a ton of examples, so the student can establish a pattern. I believe everyone can be good at Maths. It just…

Make them feel grounded and comfortable in their present studies so that they may be prepared for the studies in future. This comes in tandem with teaching a guise of humility and realism of the student and their future endeavours. Humorous, empathetic, patient and the ability to apply a unique perspective if necessary. These qualities make it…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond simply teaching content. It's about fostering a supportive learning environment where the student feels comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and actively engaging with the material. Also, building confidence and instilling a growth mindset are crucial, as they empower…

To help the student form a routine and improve performance in the school. Teaching the skill of learning and eventually working towards independence is very important to me.

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can.

A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Ethan is settling in very nicely with working with Jordan, who is very professional, friendly and approachable. Ethan is comfortable working with Jordan and is beginning to gain a little confidence in his approach to maths, so we are more than happy to continue working with him.
Toni, Woodvale

Inside WoodvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava reviewed linear algebra and practiced working with integers, focusing on correct operations with negative numbers.

For Year 8, Mia worked through data analysis skills, interpreting different types of graphs and calculating mean, median, and mode using sample datasets.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ben tackled financial mathematics by exploring loans and interest rates in real-world scenarios, followed by practice questions on unit conversions between metric measurements.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to keep written work neat and organized during algebra tasks; as one tutor observed, "setting out work so his thinking can be easily understood" was inconsistent, making it hard to spot calculation errors.

In Year 10, a student lost confidence towards the end of fraction questions—doubt crept in after small mistakes and slowed progress.

For a Year 6 assignment involving budgeting and timetabling, homework was left incomplete before sessions, so lesson time was spent catching up rather than extending skills.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student hesitated to attempt new problems independently until prompted.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woodvale recently noticed a Year 7 student who used to rely heavily on drawing diagrams for division problems now solving them much faster just by using her fingers—she even gets the answers right more consistently.

In a high school session, one Year 10 student surprised himself after initially stumbling with circle measurement; he managed to demonstrate all his classwork independently by the end of the lesson, setting out each step clearly.

Another older student, preparing for OLNA practice, completed nearly every question without needing prompts and tackled some extension tasks as well.

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 Woodvale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like North Woodvale Primary School.
