In general, I believe that the best way to teach Maths/Science is in a way which the student understands the concepts rather than just giving the student a method to produce an answer, which is how these subjects are commonly taught. 1. I am self-directed, energetic, and enthusiastic. I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering + Management…

First of all, transpositional thinking is really important. For students, they're the first time to learn some concepts while tutors have been dealing with the same concepts for at least several years. So a tutor must think from a student's perspective to find a better way to teach students. Secondly, a tutor should be able to check students'…

I believe that having flexibility in teaching methods is very important for a tutor. Not all students are able to understand concepts in the same way so being able to look at things from the student's perspective and help them understand really helps a students journey and increases their trust and confidence. Sometimes, this means using different…

One of the important things a tutor should do is to convey the concepts in the most simplified manner with examples and practical usage, as students are usually more motivated to study a topic when they know its importance in the practical world, which is not always easy to see in maths. The other crucial thing is that a tutor should be friendly…

For the less motivated students, a tutor can help them gain interest in the subject, which I think is the most important thing for a learner. For most of the students, a tutor should be a guide to lead them to pick up knowledge points bit by bit and finally have a general clear map of them. I am quite good at being with people, no matter what…

Be honest. This helps to establish rapport and trust, the two most critical elements to a successful tutoring relationship. Be flexible.

The most important thing a tutor needs to do is help the students understand. This comes in many aspects as simply explaining to them new concepts is not enough. A good tutor should listen to their student's problems and try to solve them in the best way possible and if needed, get back to them later. Also, regular feedback should be given to the…

The most important thing is to learn what the student needs. It is easy to go off track and teach all the information you know, but I believe the students' request come first. Even though the students might not know what they need, the tutor should work with them and identify which areas the student need improvements on. Hence, the tutor could…

Be patient in class. Think…

Local Reviews

Ben is very diligent and commited. He tutored both my daughter's who showed marked improvement. He prepared for sessions and always kept us informed of the girls progress. He is a thoughtful and considerate guy and the girls responded well to his demeanour. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone that wants a tutor to elevate their child's academic performance.

Inside ParkvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Seamus focused on trigonometry, specifically applying sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems, and also reviewed algebraic simplification using index laws.

For Year 11, Mia completed revision of matrices—including operations like multiplication and finding inverses—and worked through weighted graphs with Dijkstra's algorithm from the networks chapter, practising questions for her upcoming SACs.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya tackled exam-style questions on data analysis, including linear regression and standard deviation, while also strengthening her understanding of financial mathematics by practising compound interest problems.

Recent Challenges

During recent sessions, several process-related habits have stood out across both junior and senior levels.

In Year 11 maths, a student did not complete assigned homework or school holiday tasks; as the tutor observed, "she forgot most of the contents from chapter 7," making new work harder to grasp.

For a Year 12 student preparing for VCE, inconsistent note-taking and a lack of organisation in her bound reference book meant she struggled to quickly locate formulas during timed practice exams.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's written work in algebra was messy—her steps were unclear, leading to confusion when checking answers.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Parkville noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through maths sums is now taking time to spot and correct mistakes, leading to more accurate answers.

In English, a Year 10 student has begun incorporating specific evidence into essays after previously struggling to support arguments, and can now clearly structure paragraphs using the PEEL method.

From a younger group, one Year 5 student has started regularly asking questions when unsure instead of staying silent—something she rarely did before—and finished her multiplication practice independently by the end of the session.

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 Kathleen Syme Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like University High School.
