I believe that tutors can foster a student's interest in subject areas that they previously were not interested in, struggled with, or did not understand. This has the potential to unlock new opportunities for students and enables them to discover their strengths and how these can be applied to different contexts. I like to challenge students to…

I think the most important things a physics tutor can do for a student is to eliminate anxiety surrounding the subject, and create positive learning experiences through the use of praise and purposeful learning. It is important to acknowledge every achievement, no matter how big or minor, to increase confidence and self-worth. It is important that…

For me, making sure the student does not feel intimidated is vital, especially if they are working with a private tutor. If a student feels scared or intimidated towards their tutor, it will refrain them from clearing their doubt or asking questions. Hence, it is important that tutors make sure the students feel like they are in a comfortable…

I think the best thing a physics tutor can do is help the student to complete their learning cycle. So the student can continue doing it by themselves. The idea is to be a temporary guide in their academic journey that they need support. 1. Strong background in Maths. 2. Patience 3. I like to listen and motivate students to do their best. 4.…

The tutor should act like a robust bridge between the student and knowledge. He/she should guide the student in achieving erudition by showing the correct path.

Local Reviews

Katie has been absolutely amazing to my daughter. Even just on the first trial session my daughter felt she has learned a lot from Katie. My daughter has been stressing out with her Chemistry assessment but with Katie's help she was able to submit it on time and hopefully she will get a high mark for it.

Inside Norman ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Yuvaan worked on probability using Venn diagrams and also practised finding the perimeter of sectors and calculating the volume of cylinders.

Year 10 student Emma focused on graphing logarithmic functions and solving optimisation questions by applying first and second derivatives to real-world scenarios.

For Year 11, Lucas revised probability density functions alongside quartile ranges, tackling practice problems from recent exam papers to strengthen his understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often became overwhelmed by complex calculus questions, "getting lost in formulas" and feeling stress when breaking down chain or substitution rules.

In Year 8, another struggled to recall key steps for algebraic simplification—sometimes forgetting methods mid-task, which led to confusion as problems grew harder.

For a younger primary student, difficulty focusing on one activity at a time showed up during numeracy: he wanted to switch back to writing letters instead of counting, and sometimes mixed up numbers like 15 and 51.

These patterns left gaps in understanding and made exam conditions more challenging.

Recent Achievements

A Norman Park tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student's approach: after struggling to identify errors in their statistics work, they now catch mistakes on their own and use the correct method without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with integration rules can now quickly simplify expressions and spot derivatives of simple equations much faster than before.

On the primary side, one Year 1 learner—who was previously unsure about blending sounds—now independently blends and decodes new words during reading activities and counts up to fifty without hesitation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thomas got 83% in each of his 2 Maths exams in the last week, (he went from 97 % to 50 % which made us think of tutoring) but for me its not the mark , it's the fact that he is happy and confident and really looking forward to his tutor time. It has done such a lot for his confidence Big thanks to Gabrielle!

We are all very happy with Rebecca. Myself, my husband and especially Grace, which is wonderful. Rebecca and Grace's school teacher have spoken via email and are working together. I think it is too early to see any real progress, as you said we would expect to see a difference in the next couple of months. But for now we are glad Grace is getting the help she needs while enjoying the company of Rebecca.

Mitch has been so wonderful with Nick and is doing an amazing job tutoring Nick, especially getting Nick focused on completing his maths homework. He has worked with Nick so well and has established a great working relationship with him. His patient demeanor is certainly a strong attribute and has made tutoring for Nick so much easier.  Nick has commented several times that 'he has learnt more with Mitch today than he has all week with his teacher'.

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 New Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas' School.
