It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Local Reviews

Anna and Charlie get on well so tutoring is going well.
Tania, Pooraka

Inside PoorakaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Alex revised differentiation from first principles and applied calculus to projectile motion, including practice with tangent equations.

Year 11 student Priya worked through kinematics questions for an upcoming test and clarified optimisation techniques using example problems.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ethan tackled linear graphs—drawing up equations in y=mx+c form and interpreting coordinates—with extra focus on relating scenarios to graph movement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student's working was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly when applying the midpoint formula; this made it harder to catch sign errors.

Another Year 10 learner skipped steps when converting fractions, confusing positive and negative signs—a tutor noted, "skipping some steps mentally led to mix-ups with signs."

In a primary session, a child often struggled to explain their method or thinking aloud and hesitated to attempt verbal explanations during worded problems.

Without regular revision or organized written work, misunderstandings persisted into new topics and created barriers in problem-solving moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pooraka recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess at graph problems now setting out multi-step working clearly and explaining slope changes without prompting.

Another high schooler, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, initiated a discussion on projectile motion during a calculus session and worked through several tricky doubts before their test.

In a primary lesson, one child who previously rushed maths worksheets slowed down this week to check each answer and fixed mistakes independently—finishing the whole set with no corrections needed from the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Adam has been a wonderful addition to Rachel's studying efforts. His explanations of math content have been very explicitly explained and is helping Rachel build a deeper knowledge.

Shivani is doing well and Elyza is fantastic! Shivani appears to be very comfortable around Elyza and is building her confidence.

The tutoring seems to be going very well so far. We have been working on the areas Mohamed has indicated Charlotte needs extra help with and his report was very helpful in this regard.

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