A tutor should be able to listen and make sure they are addressing exactly what the student needs. They should also be encouraging and attempt to focus on how the individual student's strengths and patterns of thinking can help them to solve a problem. I understand the difficulties people may face when solving a problem or trying to improve their…

A tutor has to be able to accomodate to each students need individually. It's important to understand the needs and habits of each student as each person learns uniquely. This, in turn, provides them with the best possible learning experience which maximises potential and results. - Good Communicator - Vast Knowledge of subjects - Can make…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is leaving them with a range of tools for study that they can use on their own at school or if I’m not around. The student being able to use study techniques that I have taught them on their own accord is what I would aim to achieve. My strengths as a tutor would have to be my…

I aim to instil students with effective learning strategies. People aren’t taught how to effectively learn and study, and often they can feel lost. I firmly believe that understanding the best learning approach for oneself is just as important as understanding the schoolwork. I pride myself on being patient - I understand that everyone learns…

Inside PadburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Daniel practised solving quadratic equations and expanding brackets using the FOIL method, as well as collecting like terms for simplification.

In Year 10, Chloe worked through factorising quadratic expressions and examined relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines in linear equations, including drawing connections to their slopes.

For a Year 6 session, Leo received guidance on his HASS report about the importance of coastal environments, focusing on structuring ideas clearly within his assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student left homework (indices and tree diagrams) at school and struggled with calculator instructions for algebraic solutions; this meant valuable lesson time was spent troubleshooting rather than practicing.

For a Year 10 student, "work in notebook not showing steps so of no use when reviewing," leading to confusion during revision for factorisation.

A senior student's sparse class notes and missed homework sheets made it difficult to prepare for upcoming tests.

In English (Year 7), another student's arguments lacked cohesion due to rushing written responses without outlining ideas first—impacting essay clarity under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Padbury noticed Danielle, a Year 10 student, has begun finishing her maths practice tests much faster than before and now gets a higher percentage of questions correct—just last session, she completed the test on time with only minor errors.

Meanwhile, Holly (Year 8) had previously struggled with supplementary angles but was visibly more decisive this week, working through those problems after just a little prompting.

In Year 3, Sam surprised his tutor by tackling new maths content independently rather than waiting for help and even volunteered to try extra challenge questions at the end of their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

Jacinta is awesome!  Grace has connected well with her, and even after 3 sessions we can see an improvement (in her methods and her confidence).  Grace had Year 9 exams this week and felt better prepared.  I can honestly say this has been the best investment I could have made for Grace!

I thought you would like to know that Matilda got the highest mark in her class for her end of year Math exam 83%. We were so thrilled and it gave her a huge confidence boost! I would like to thank you and Erin and we look forward to continuing her tutoring next year.

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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Padbury Primary School.
