Beyond the learning of a specific subject, which may appear to be the main goal of tutoring to some, the most important things I believe a tutor can do for a student is to offer an enjoyable experience of learning. The school system can be difficult and it can be easy for students to lose motivation and interest in learning. A tutor can provide…

In my opinion, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to make it clear to a student that they are capable and believe in their abilities as a student. This establishes trust and goes a long way in terms of fixing problems of difficulties in any subject area. It will also build a student's confidence in themself all while knowing there…

Support them. Sometimes students just need that boost of confidence and support to understand.

Inside Gordon ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily worked through applying Pythagoras' Theorem to complex shapes and revisited how to prove the theorem using diagrams.

In Year 10, Noah focused on factorising both monic and non-monic quadratic equations as well as solving them with step-by-step algebraic methods.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex tackled constant acceleration problems in linear motion and reviewed thermal equilibrium concepts in physics, using real-world scenarios to deepen understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Physics student struggled with manipulating equations for heat and energy—"swapping denominators and quotients" caused confusion, which slowed progress in qmcΔt calculations.

In Year 8, a student's working was often hard to follow; as one tutor noted, "legibility and setting out of working" made it difficult to spot calculation errors during algebra tasks.

A Year 10 learner repeatedly avoided homework, saying they "could not find book," so new concepts in trigonometry remained shaky week-to-week.

In English (Year 12), research assignments stalled when evidence wasn't evaluated or sources properly organized, leaving introductions unfinished and arguments unclear.

Recent Achievements

A Gordon Park tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now reads worded maths problems aloud and talks through each step before attempting answers, showing more self-direction.

In a senior session, one student's marks jumped in their latest practice exam after weeks of struggling with non-monic quadratic factorisation—now tackling these confidently without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner, who used to rush and make errors when calculating surface areas, now pauses to identify all shapes involved and correctly substitutes measurements before moving on.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Padua College.
