I believe that making every session meaningful, productive but entertaining is key to learning. A tutor should make sure that the student is well-engaged in the session but still focussing on their weaknesses and strengths. A tutor should make a personalized learning experience for every student and build a relationship of trust with the student.…

Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition. Maths is hard and it is easy to feel discouraged; so being able to boost morale and keep them going is important in them being successful. I really do try to be engaging; I try to speak to students as an equal. I think talking to them as regular people and have regular…

Being a medical student, I value how education builds an individual. Having the right mentors and teachers during one's educational journey can either make or break them. Students look up to their mentors and tutors for various reasons. Students already interact with teachers at school, so they require a friend who understands their problems and…

However, sometimes desperate times happen, and then we must drop the profound thoughts and do what needs…

It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

Provide the student with a safe learning space and supporting the student in their learning. If a student feels intimidated and uncomfortable to ask questions and clarify any information, they will not learn as effectively.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to believe in them.

There are always different ways to…

I consider being able to relate and understand where the student is coming from is the most important thing. Knowing why the student struggles to understand a concept will enable the tutor to formulate a method that would help clear their misunderstandings. This is not limited to not being able to understand the subject, but also to understand the…

Making them comfortable with the maths that they have to do, as opposed to just making sure they know how to do a problem. However, it would also be important to pass on methods of study and techniques that they would be able to apply to other subjects.

Inside Athol ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Elousia worked on multiplying numbers up to 12 and practiced writing book reviews, focusing on using synonyms and punctuation.

Year 7 Caitlin explored index laws, including multiplying and working with negative indices, while also reviewing foundational skills in multiplication and division through practice problems.

In Year 8, Elisabeth concentrated on solving equations involving exponents and scientific notation, as well as finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples using prime factorisation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 English, Elouisa's handwriting sometimes made her written work difficult to read, which affected clarity—"some sentences were hard to follow due to messy layout," noted a tutor.

For Year 6 Maths, Elisabeth found worded algebra problems challenging; translating questions into equations slowed her progress during practice tests.

In Year 7, Benjamin tended to miss recurring spelling errors unless prompted to check his work independently.

During timed multiplication tasks in Year 8, Elisabeth's strong accuracy was offset by slower speed under pressure, leaving several questions unfinished as the clock ran down.

Recent Achievements

One Athol Park tutor noticed Elisabeth has started fixing her own mistakes in maths before lessons and now attempts new exponent and factor problems independently—previously, she would wait for step-by-step guidance.

In Year 7, Abigail has begun openly asking clarifying questions when tackling difficult competition-level maths, instead of working in silence; she's catching errors early and pushing herself further.

Meanwhile, Benjamin in primary school recently completed a spelling test with only four incorrect out of 25 words—his best result yet—and was able to spot his own mistakes during an interactive review game.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good with Stephen ... Charlie has really taken to him and we are very happy with him and the work he has done so far.

Carla is very happy with Aisling. We are gratefull that she is able to assist us.

Alec is really enjoying his sessions with Matt. He finds Matt funny and easy to get along with. Alec tells me he has already started learning things he didn't know. We are very happy so far with Matt.

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 The Parks Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's School.
