Tutors in Pagewood include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
I believe in teaching the students skills more than information. The saying goes, if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime, which is very close to my heart. I want my students to understand the problem and critically think about solutions rather than trying to copy-paste from memory.…
I believe a tutor has to make sure that students fully understand the material they are learning so that they can apply what they learn and ultimately be able to do the more difficult questions by themselves. With constant practice and drilling, students will be more comfortable doing the questions themselves and be confident in the…
A tutor can notice the student's strength and nourish it through a structured set of activities that the student can do in class as well as independently. A tutor can also notice the areas of student's weaknesses and supply the student with a learning program that can tackle these weaknesses gradually and methodically. Additionally, a tutor is a…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure they are staying focused and trying their best, while also enjoying the subject.

Individualized Support: Every student has unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles.

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening to them and paying attention to their needs. Students can be shy and may not make it abundantly clear what they need in any given moment, but there are usually signs, though they may be subtle. It is a tutor's job to monitor the student throughout a lesson and make sure…
The most important thing a tutor can do for their students, besides helping them improve in their areas of need, is to support them and encourage them to perform to their very best and increase their confidence in their abilities in order to do well in exams.

Being flexible and adaptable to any problems or challenges that may occur. Being available anytime the student seeks help inside or outside tutoring hours.

Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just provide the student with the knowledge that they need for a course or for a test but that they can learn along the way the methods which help them learn best so they can apply those methods to future challenges. In other words, how they figure out one problem or completing one task…

As a tutor, I aim to explore needs of every student to provide individually-tailored teaching in uncovering students' maximum potential. Aside from merely imparting knowledge, I believe it highly important to consistently motivate students who lack interest in studies, yet also preventing students from becoming over-stressed to the extent of…
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to learn for themselves. It is easy to rote memorize a formula or a text, but to be able to teach someone how they can teach themselves and to show them how to problem solve so that they can attack problems independently is far more valuable I believe my strengths as a…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them to understand basics and inner workings of a topic thoroughly enough that they feel intuition regarding it, and are able to build upon this foundation to further develop ideas independently. My biggest strength as a tutor is my writing ability. I am able to help students…
To reveal the simple nature of (what may seem) complex. Once a student understands that they have the ability to unravel something they thought was out of their reach, their confidence and newfound ability create a framework for smart study skills and eagerness to learn in the future. Those two qualities are necessary for the independent learning…
The most important thing is to be genuine. To have the heart and the passion to explain our hobbies and our knowledge to our future generation. Without genuinity, everything else would not matter. I like to think outside the box. I think creating interesting yet simple scenarios for tutoring would enable students to be alert yet understanding.…
I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student. During my work as an educational-psychological advisor, I used to write detailed reports outlining the student's strengths, learning style, and goals. When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that…
A tutor is there not only to facilitate a student's learning of the curriculum knowledge but also to foster critical thinking skills transferable to other aspects of their education. Knowing that every student learns differently, I cater to the student's individual needs and work with them to figure out the most effective learning strategies. I do…
Inside PagewoodTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
