As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is inspire and motivate. While these seem like simple elements, in successfully doing so, the tutor has essentially altered the learning experiences for the student from that moment onwards. The student is then able to develop their confidence in their subjects, push to achieve their goals,…

Sue Clark, Gordon Park

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.
