Be able to communicate information clearly and concisely, as well as being flexible enough to come up with different explanations for topics when a certain method isn't understood.

The tutor's objective is not simply to relay information to a student in a bland or dry manner, but rather to establish a solid foundation and understanding for the students - to devise a teaching method that works best. The objective is for the student to learn in the most efficient and enjoyable manner. I am a University lecturer and a senior…

Personally, I think striking a balance between fostering a comfortable student-tutor relationship and challenging the student is important. Creating a genuine relationship helps the student open up to the tutor and be honest on what are the topics he/she is having a hard time understanding. On the other hand, challenging the students will help…

The most important thing that a tutor can provide a student is the careful confidence to handle a problem. Even with the best of preparation, a student cannot even begin to answer the question if they do not have the confidence and are engulfed by fear. By developing that mindset, students are then able to think clearly, mentalise the steps needed…

Thanks Evan for tutoring my topic 6 in SACE mathematics methods, when I had so much difficulties of understanding the derivative concept.

Inside ParksideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Kallan worked on fraction revision and timetables practice, focusing on understanding part-whole relationships using number lines.

For Year 10, Emily tackled algebraic expressions—specifically simplifying with index laws—and solved equations involving ratios and rational numbers.

In Year 11, Sam focused on mastering quadratics through factorisation and expansion, as well as sketching parabolic graphs from given equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for maths assessments repeatedly hesitated to write down answers, often second-guessing herself even when her solutions were correct. As a tutor noted, "she knows and understands what she's doing," but lacked confidence to show her working fully in algebra.

In Year 11 Child Studies, procrastination meant key drafts and interviews were left until the last minute; this delayed teacher feedback and created ongoing stress about deadlines.

Meanwhile, a senior English student failed to make all required corrections from previous feedback—despite reminders—which led to repeated sessions spent re-editing rather than progressing with new content.

Recent Achievements

One Parkside tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who used to get stuck on parabolic equations—she can now illustrate coordinates on graphs and interpret those tricky equations without hesitation.

In Year 9, another student who'd always relied on writing out every algebra step surprised her tutor by solving equations mentally for the first time, showing real independence.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4, who previously avoided reading aloud, tackled an entire short story solo and even started proofreading her own work after learning new strategies during their session.
