I think it's important for a tutor to ask their students to think critically and to show encouragement with minor steps. I think patience and repetition are really important for tutors to display to their students. I also think it's important for a tutor to be honest about what they know or don't know.

Inside Pearces CreekTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor. Â Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !
Hello and thank you for your email. We are happy with Philip's progress in these few weeks as you suggest I am sure more time is needed for him to be more confident . We are also happy with his tutor he is very well spoken, polite and gets on well with my son so far.
Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good. He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp).
Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive. Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies.
We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week.
Thanks also for the newsletter. I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!
