I consider that the most important thing a student can do for a student is to never give up on the student. There are downtimes and a loss of motivation. I feel that the tutor should help the student through that phase and provide encouragement. Moreover, a tutor should give time and support to the student. I think my strength as a tutor is that I…

The most important thing would be clearing doubts for a student as I am also a student and I can understand how important it is when a student is confused and is not able to go about with their problems. Problem solving is the key to one's understanding and in addition to this, practice makes everyone perfect. I would be able to help the students…

As a tutor, we are giving them resources and knowledges that helps them achieve the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to inspire passion; a person who is sincerely interested in a subject and has a drive to continue delving into it will naturally go much further and achieve much higher then an unmotivated genius no matter the intellect as they will enjoy the entire journey of learning and not just focus on the results.

It sounds clichĂ© but it's helping unlock student potential. Many times a student is struggling is usually due to elements within the school or home environment that is hindering their progress, not their intrinsic intelligence. Tutoring can provide the means for a much more personal interaction where obstructions to learning can be quickly…

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse.…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work with them…

The first thing that a tutor needs to do is identify what the underlying problem is. It may be that the student has very weak number facts, has a negative attitude to the subject or requires a lot of visuals to grasp a particular concept. Once the tutor has identified the particular problems, they then need to tailor a specific individual program…

Inside ParkwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Connor practised converting between units of length, volume, and mass, then reinforced measurement skills with area calculations and perimeter problems.

In Year 8, Seb worked through linear equations by plotting graphs to identify gradients and y-intercepts, as well as rearranging formulas to make x the subject using step-by-step algebraic methods.

For a senior student in Year 11 General Maths, recent sessions focused on applying the binomial theorem and analysing geometric sequences, including revision for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, one student avoided showing working when rearranging equations, leading to repeated confusion—"minimal writing" meant errors went unnoticed.

In Year 10, a learner skipped assigned textbook questions before an exam and struggled with significant figures; as the tutor noted, "she must do the homework questions I assigned to her before Monday for her exam."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student kept forgetting key formulas in functions and did not record their steps clearly. The result: time was spent retracing old ground instead of moving forward confidently into new concepts or assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Parkwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely heavily on hints now independently solves linear function problems, even plotting graphs and pinpointing gradients without prompting.

In a recent session with a Year 12 group, students who previously mixed up how to calculate tax demonstrated clear understanding by correctly working through complex taxation scenarios on their own.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4—who often hesitated over her times tables—confidently recited the fours and explained why order of operations matters before moving on to trickier BODMAS challenges.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have been meaning to email but time got away. Hazel is loving Rabiba! She's just perfect for her. In fact when we discussed extending the time to two hours in a week or so Hazel agreed instantly. I was in shock. We are all very happy with her so far. She's very reliable and polite.

Carol has been great with Sarah and as you said it takes a few months to start seeing an impact., but Sarah understands her and relates well to Carol.

Nandi is fantastic and Izzy has developed a great relationship with her. She is a treasure.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arundel State School.
