A student approaches a tutor outside school just so they can understand the subject in a better way. As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can do for my students is to make them trust in me and eventually the subject because only then they would put in efforts to overcome their difficulties. As a tutor, I am responsible enough to…

Tutors needs to deliver their fullest in educating the student. They need to have the patience to redirect from the main concept in focus to teach the fundamentals which the student lacks the knowledge. I explain as detailed as possible depending on the extent the student knows-if the student lacks the basics of the subject, I make a considerable…

Apart from imparting knowledge, a good tutor should be able to make the student fall in love with the subject. This will guide the student to understand the topic better and most importantly relate it to practical scenarios. Further, a tutor plays a decisive role in unraveling the hidden potential of a student. Not everyone is meant to be a math…

I think a tutor should be able to tell if their student understands something or not, often they don't say it outright and asking them directly might not get them to admit it. So by asking them to solve a question that indirectly uses the concept might help us figure out if they're having trouble or not. Students should also feel comfortable with…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Anthony is happy with his tutor and seem to work well with him. So all good so far.

Ethan is finding the tutoring to be very helpful st this time. Tiffany is very patient and organised and I can see that both children will get great benefit from the sessions

Clare is comfortable with Daniel already and has had at least a boost in confidence with having him "on her team".

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.
