I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to be flexible with their different learning styles. Often when students ask for a tutor it's because they are unable to learn using the method their teacher uses. It's a tutor's job to rework concepts in a way so that students can benefit from it. Simply repeating what a teacher has said…

One of the most important things an english 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…

A tutor should be the mentor for students and guide them the way rather than just spoon-feeding them with the content. Also, an english tutor should always remain unbiased towards the students. Talking about my strengths, I am capable of teaching students in such a way that they are able to relate to what I am explaining in the first go and I…

Pass on knowledge about how to become self-sufficient and break down work so that it's less overwhelming. Moreover, teaching students how to learn actively, rather than passively is incredibly significant. It is what will help prepare them for VCE, tertiary education, and just general adult life. Additionally, it is important that tutors…

To me, it is being able to connect with a student in a way they can be comfortable with asking any sorts of questions about the subject without the fear of being judged. I understand how confusing maths can be sometimes, so in order for any academic progress to be made, the student should feel engaged and happy to ask questions. I believe my…

I believe that active communication and listening skills is key to a students' improvement in their learning.

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to teach the subject in their level of understanding and teach them the fundamentals. Sometimes it can be a challenge to explain some advanced theories especially to young minds but if we teach them to master the basics, then it would be easier for them to grasp future…

Inside PakenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie focused on adding and subtracting fractions as well as operations with negative integers, using number lines for clarity.

In Year 8, Liam practised converting decimals to fractions and worked through perimeter calculations by breaking shapes into simpler parts.

For Year 10, Priya explored linear graphs—specifically finding gradients—and began work on non-linear graph interpretation with practical examples from coordinate geometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student struggled with worded problems and often left working untidy, making it hard to spot calculation errors—"written layout in multi-step questions was unclear."

A Year 9 learner relied heavily on calculator use for basic arithmetic, skipping mental checks in fraction work.

For a Year 10 student, revision time focused mostly on familiar algebra drills while avoiding application-style graphing tasks.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, missing the step of memorising exact values for trigonometric equations meant "she hesitated during SACs when no formula sheet was allowed," leading to avoidable delays under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Pakenham tutor noticed that a Year 8 student who used to get stuck on algebraic notation now works through questions independently, pausing only to check her process.

In a recent high school session, Tatum began using the financial solver tool on her calculator without prompting—last term she avoided it entirely and needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Sophie started taking her own notes during fraction lessons; this was a first for her as she'd previously relied only on the tutor's explanations. Last week, she completed all ten practice problems using her new method.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very pleased with Gabrielle and so is Thomas, so a great start. Just having a  mentor has boasted Thomas's confidence enormously and I listen to how Gabrielle communicates with Thomas and I am amazed. Thomas is very happy.

I had one tutoring session with Tom and he was fantastic. Very easy to talk to and had clearly prepared before coming to see me. The exam that I needed his help to prepare for is this Thursday so I no longer need his services. I have told Tom I will let him know how I went after the exam on Thursday.

We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job. Thank you!

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakwood School-Pakenham Campus.
