I firmly believe it’s significant to create a positive, supportive learning environment for the student so that they feel comfortable in asking any doubts. They shouldn’t feel embarrassed in asking any question as the best learning happens only when you’re curious. It’s extremely important that the student first understands the…

In my opinion would be actual understanding of the topics and be able to explain to students. As well as keeping them interested so they don't fall asleep during the sessions. I am good at explaining science and maths in a simplier way for students. I have pretty good maths and science background as I'm a PhD doing science! The best would be…

Being able to understand the student and forming a connection with them are both really important things. A student will be more willing to learn if they are comfortable with you. Not only that, they will be happy to see you every tutoring session, which brings joy and takes the uneasiness off the tutoring session. I'm able to break ideas down…

I always used to think from the student perspective and give them support for subject matters. Also, the tutor is responsible for understanding student situations by building trust and providing solutions to overcome them. Not only that, but also, the ultimate aim of tutoring is delivering subject knowledge for maximising their grades in exams…

The idea behind a good tutor is to always identify the weak points of students, thus paying more attention to them and giving more examples from different angles to make sure that struggling students fully comprehend them. Being able to transfer difficult concepts to simple ones is my favourite thing when it comes to tutoring. The idea behind a…

One of most important things a tutor can have is patience, sometimes students need concepts explained a certain way before they'll understand, or they may need multiple tries to get a question correct.

Provide students with support to get through school and life. For some, this is A+ in specialist maths. For others, it's passing essential maths. Forcing each student to be the same is not only impossible to achieve, it's damaging to the individual. Tutors need to not only teach the subject, but teach students how to learn the subject,…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is helping around with the difficulties the student is facing in their curriculum.

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.

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.
