The most important thing for me as tutor would be to develop a good Rapport with the student. This rapport builds comfortability with the student to ensure they are more comfortable in asking for help and explaining the sections that they are struggling with better. It is also important as a tutor to identify the learning needs and styles of the…

A tutor should be able to understand how they can help a student and should teach content or provide help in a way that suits their student's learning style. This would ensure that students are able to learn easier and with less stress. Students should not just be taught what to learn but also how to learn depending on the topic learnt, since it…

Science Tutor Pakenham, VIC
One of the most important things a tutor can do is to inspire students through education. The world of education is so vast and enriching, both primary and secondary school is a long journey and for my students to enjoy education rather than drag their feet through the process is one of my biggest hopes and goals. There are endless possibilities…

I believe that active communication and listening skills is key to a students' improvement in their learning. Without it, there is no point in teaching something that is finally going to ended up misunderstood or even not understood at all. Receiving and providing active feedbacks between students and tutor is essential for the tutor to provide…

Inside MaryknollTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mehar worked on identifying and measuring angles using a protractor, and also revised long division strategies for multi-digit numbers.

For Year 11, Gavin practised solving and graphing logarithmic and exponential functions, focusing on how transformations affect their graphs, as well as reviewing anti-differentiation basics.

Meanwhile, Alexander in Year 12 prepared for his upcoming physics exam by revisiting kinematics—especially constant acceleration scenarios—and analysing energy transfer during collisions using past practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with test questions because he hadn't made his own summary notes, relying only on teacher handouts; this left him confused about when to use formulas for area and perimeter. As a tutor noted, "he didn't write out the formula or label units," so mistakes in applying them crept in.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, another student's difficulty connecting new content (anti-differentiation) was worsened by disruptions—lost lesson time meant less chance to ask clarifying questions.

For a Year 8 learner, missed homework and disorganised notetaking led to gaps revising probability concepts, leaving her unsure during class quizzes.

Recent Achievements

One Maryknoll tutor noticed that Omita, a primary student who previously hesitated when asked to justify his answers, is now able to clearly talk through his reasoning on tricky area problems and explain his thought process step by step.

In Year 10, Gavin has shown real independence—he used the discriminant confidently to solve quadratic inequalities without prompting and was able to expand polynomials and apply factor theorem with ease, a big shift from earlier sessions where he needed guidance for each step.

Alex, preparing for his physics exam, remembered key equations entirely on his own for constant acceleration and conservation of momentum.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Michael has made a huge difference already, and we are very happy with his work so far. Mia is listening to him and there is some great mutual respect happening. I love that when mia doesn't know something he ensures to not make her feel silly. It has helped her confidence Immensely.

Justin is very good and Athena although has only had 2 lessons with him, she is already finding him very helpful.

Right from the beginning Steph had a great rapport with Tara. She has been a couple of times now and I've never seen Steph so engaged with maths before.

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 Cardinia Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St James School.
