The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade. I understand that each student is different, and that not every approach will work for an individual, so it is essential that their tutor knows how to adapt to their needs while still…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one.

Tutors needs to deliver their fullest in educating the student.

It is very important as an english 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.…

They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors…

Inside Royston ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 2 student Naba worked on identifying and using the greater than, less than, and equals signs to compare numbers, as well as reading, writing, and using essential sight words like 'find', 'four', and 'for' in sentences.

Year 6 student Maim practised long division with three-digit numbers (including those with remainders) and improved her persuasive writing skills through a prompt arguing against homework.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Sarah focused on algebraic expressions—creating them from worded problems—and began learning how to square numbers in preparation for more advanced algebra.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, confusion often arose when translating word problems into algebraic expressions; as one tutor observed, "he gets tangled in his thoughts when the answer is there, but gets lost in the process." This meant repeated prompts were needed to clarify what each question required, especially with addition versus multiplication.

For a Year 4 student, misunderstanding instructions in both maths and English led to avoidable errors—she only improved after reading questions aloud together.

In early primary, messy handwriting and reversed numbers made written work hard to interpret; copying sentences sometimes resulted in missing words or letters, which slowed progress.

Recent Achievements

One Royston Park tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student's approach to fractions—after consistently getting homework problems wrong, he was able to tackle them successfully in-session and began talking through his steps out loud instead of guessing quietly.

A high schooler who used to get stuck on long division now solves multi-digit sums with barely any prompting and even identified her own mistakes without waiting for help.

Meanwhile, a younger student who struggled to form sentences independently is now using word prompts to create imaginative descriptions, only asking for guidance when truly needed.

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 Payneham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marden Senior College.
