I am patient with the students and come with innovative ways to make them understand the concepts. In the first few classes I build rapport with the…

As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. By providing a different voice…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently.

Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

Inside PialligoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Josh worked on reading comprehension and vocabulary using short texts, followed by writing brief summaries.

In Year 8, Ari tackled statistics topics including mean, median, mode, and constructing box-and-whisker plots, along with exercises on theoretical probability.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah focused on developing cohesive paragraphs in English—practicing topic sentences and concluding statements—while also reading and answering comprehension questions for 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.'

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, a student left homework incomplete and attempted only one paragraph after feeling unsure about the writing prompt; he felt bad as he did not quite get the task.

For a Year 11 English essay, deleted drafts and reluctance to share work meant feedback wasn't used before submission, resulting in missed editing opportunities.

In Year 7 Mathematics, skipping written steps—especially with algebra—made it harder to spot errors and slowed progress during tests.

A Year 9 student often forgot to bring homework or needed reminders to present work more neatly, especially for graphing tasks.

Missed planning led to last-minute changes or lost confidence under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pialligo noticed one high school student, previously hesitant to share his struggles, now openly asking questions about essay structure and proactively emailing materials for feedback—an important shift from passive learning.

Another secondary student, who found graphic linear equations daunting, made progress by trying multiple solution strategies and is now independently tackling practice tests with step-by-step plans.

Among younger students, a Year 3 learner who used to avoid grammar tasks has begun correcting most errors himself after a targeted editing exercise, finishing the latest worksheet with only minimal hints needed.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jode is very happy with Lewis and has already experienced an improvement in his marks. I'm happy as Jode has increased confidence!

We are happy with Maree, she is a hands on tutor which seems to be working well with my daughter.

It's all going very well.  Billy really likes her and said she is clarifying a lot for him. I'm conscious that they are rushing through things at school so have told Mithra to take her time and not move on to new areas until she is satisfied he grasps it.

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 Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Campbell Primary School.
