For me, it is absolutely pertinent for tutors to build a rapport and gain trust from their student, which may encompass many different actions. It may involve giving subject advice from experience, being reassuring and having sound knowledge of the course and content. In doing so, tutors can aid students to develop a genuine interest in the…

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

I feel tutors need to provide constructive feedback for the students, especially in an English essay for example.

Tutors also need to help students stay on top of task, help them complete assignments in time, this means they need to…

I consider being able to relate and understand where the student is coming from is the most important thing.

Making them comfortable with the maths that they have to do, as opposed to just making sure they know how to do a problem.

A good tutor should firstly ensure that the student has a solid grasp of the foundational knowledge underpinning their subject, before moving on to teach more complex concepts. This is because oftentimes a subject's more advanced concepts will draw heavily from assumed foundational knowledge. Additionally a tutor can instill confidence in a…

Give the student confidence in themselves that they can do it.

A tutor can build confidence and a positive approach towards studies in a student. Marks are important but what's more important is giving an exam with confidence and with a winning attitude. If this is done, then marks will follow behind. I believe that a student should cultivate these two things as they will lead to success in the future.…

Inside Sefton ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James worked through the rules of index laws, focusing on expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with brackets and exponents.

A Year 9 student explored coordinate geometry by calculating gradients, midpoints, and lengths of line segments, while also practicing multiplication and division using index laws in algebra.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry problems relevant to their classwork, applying these concepts to solve real-world worded questions.

Recent Challenges

Several process obstacles were noted across different year levels.

In Year 5, Molly repeatedly did not complete her assigned maths homework and was unable to show progress on a project between sessions, which meant she missed chances to reinforce skills like multiplication and data analysis. As one tutor observed, "Molly did not do any work after we finished the previous lesson and did not even appear to have added anything to the document."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled with organizing working for algebraic problems; his cluttered layout made it difficult to find sign errors when reviewing solutions.

During revision for calculus in Year 12, anxiety about timing led him to skip checking steps—this resulted in repeated mistakes during induction proofs and left him frustrated by small but costly errors.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sefton Park noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to struggle with algebra—he now completes assigned tasks efficiently and even rearranges equations without help, something he couldn't do before.

Another win came from a senior student who picked up calculus rapidly; she differentiated surds and worked through logarithms with minimal prompting, showing initiative by asking for tougher problems mid-session.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant about multiplication last term now remembers her times tables and volunteers answers during lessons, finishing all ten practice questions correctly this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good! They have clicked from the first lesson. Clay is learning lots so Ryan's style obviously suits Clay to a T. Ryan is a lovely boy and we are very happy with him.

Marnus really enjoys Kamran's help and encouragement. They were preparing for his test on Thursday and I hope to get a positive test result because of that. I appreciate my son's positive response to Kamran and his tutoring.

We have had 2 Tutoring lessons with Ishita so far and we are very happy. Ishita is a delightful and intelligent young woman and Emily and I felt comfortable the minute we met her. She is quite an effective tutor and we look forward to get continuing her tutoring of Emily. Thank you for your support.

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 Prospect Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College.
