The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be organised and be understanding. A tutor is unlike a classroom teacher, as we are given the opportunity to work solely 1:1 with a student. Therefore, understanding a student's needs, wants and goals is imperative. Similarly, being organised and having a clear goal is equally as important.…

Most people's perception of the job of a tutor is always to guide a student to be successful in the study/subject. Although that is an important role as a tutor, I find the most important aspect a tutor can do for a student is to further ignite their passion and interest in their subject. No matter how much a tutor can help, but if a student does…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to evoke the joy for the subject in the student. The student should enjoy doing the subject. which in turn leads to them studying the subject more and doing well. My strength as a tutor is that I enjoy the subjects I teach. I want the students to feel the same amount of enjoyment that I…

I consider that the most important thing is faith in their students. No matter how dire the situation is, a tutor's faith and belief in their student should not waver. As students are looking to better themselves, a tutor's belief in them is crucial as they look towards their mentor for guidance. This, in addition with a tutor's well researched…

One of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to provide feedback. I am a firm believer in learning from your mistakes and often I find that students are provided with extensive amounts of work, however their feedback is often passed onto them rather than discussed with them. I think it is just as important to explain to…

The most important think a tutor can do is teach, not tell. Its easy to give information, tips for studying etc, but to get the student to pay attention, be attentive and actively learn is a different story. A student that can do that will not only get better grades, do well in school etc, but also find what they are passionate about in that area.…

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.

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.
