Biology Tutor Parkdale, VIC
To teach students that it is okay to be wrong or make mistakes as long as you correct it afterwards. It is important to attempt to answer each question on a test and work sheet as if you attempt it then you might get some points on your final grade. It is also important to become self confident and trust that you can tackle any problem. I will…

As all students would have different levels of understanding, the most important thing a biology tutor can do is to take the time to devise individual learning plans for the students, plans which suit the individual's learning style and would be most effective in seeing them reach their full intellectual capacity. Punctuality and reliability…

I think not just to teach but to integrate the mathematics into their brain. Ways to do this include repetition, paraphrasing and getting them to say things back to me in their own words, these three things are extremely important so that they don't jut forget things when I leave.

The most important thing is ensuring you build confidence in a students understanding of the subject as a whole as it is through this that a student would be able to face any questions that may be posed to them and have confidence within themselves that they are able to understand the topics given throughout their learning. Without this, you would…

Tutors should be able to build independence and confidence in the student, allowing them to improve their problem solving skills and gain new approaches or strategies to learning. My strengths are that I can easily adapt to a student\'s needs, by changing my approach to the topic either by simplifying it further or bringing in other concepts to…

Encouragement and patience.

It’s also important to provide encouragement and support, as well as understand that students might get frustrated or discouraged if they are unable to easily grasp a concept. I…

Deepti has been tutoring my daughter for 1 year now. I am so happy with the difference it has made to my daughters understanding of a subject that she was very behind in and I was very concerned.

Inside ParkdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daisy practiced long division with three-digit numbers and began adding fractions with a focus on finding common denominators.

For Year 11, Connor worked through the chain rule in differentiation before moving on to integrals as part of his Maths Methods preparation.

Meanwhile, Jules in Year 8 focused on dividing and multiplying fractions using negative numbers, reinforcing the reciprocal method and applying these skills to mixed-number problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to organize revision materials, as noted: "Needs to make a notes book for tests and revision," which left her scrambling before assessments.

In VCE Maths, one student relied on quick fixes, over-erasing errors in matrix multiplication rather than reviewing mistakes, causing repeated slip-ups in practice sets.

For a Year 8 English task, feedback was not fully taken up—she overlooked tutor suggestions when planning essays, so progress on writing structure stalled.

Meanwhile, a primary learner forgot essential items like protractors and homework books several times; this disrupted sessions and meant key skills (like measuring angles) were left unpracticed.

Recent Achievements

A Parkdale tutor recently noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with Maths Methods made substantial gains, showing improved test scores and confidently tackling more advanced integration questions on his own.

In another high school session, Archer moved from occasionally missing minor details in extended response tasks to independently picking up and correcting these mistakes during practice, demonstrating new self-awareness in his approach.

Meanwhile, Remi in primary school became noticeably more engaged with division after lessons were gamified—he now eagerly uses catchphrases and strategies to work through problems, finishing a large codebreaker activity without losing focus.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana.  We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks. Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved. It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.

Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.

Lazarus is very happy with Joseph. I think Joseph will be a good fit for Lazarus' learning needs.

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 Kingston Information & Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Parkdale Primary School.
