The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build confidence. When students believe in their abilities, they’re more willing to engage with the material, take risks, and ask questions. Confidence can transform a student’s approach to learning, making them more resilient in the face of challenges. By providing support,…

Being fully attentive and aware of the student. I know from experience that while in a classroom it’s very easy for a teacher to overlook a student asking a question, or even for the teacher to not answer the question as they misunderstood. However as a tutor, I’ll be able to re-open such dialogue and allow them to understand the concepts…

The most important thing is to understand the student, and let them learn calmly. It would only distract them if you put too much pressure on them so it’s important to be kind and give them time to think about the concept themselves too. Understanding their best way of learning is also really important and applying the concept to everyday…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be organised and be understanding. A tutor is unlike a classroom teacher, as we are given the opportunity to work solely 1:1 with a student. Therefore, understanding a student's needs, wants and goals is imperative. Similarly, being organised and having a clear goal is equally as important.…

Patience is really one of the key players that should take part when tutoring a student.

Most people's perception of the job of a tutor is always to guide a student to be successful in the study/subject.

No matter how much a tutor can help, but if a student does…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the subject in their level of understanding and teach them the fundamentals. Sometimes it can be a challenge to explain some advanced theories especially to young minds but if we teach them to master the basics, then it would be easier for them to grasp future lessons. I…

I consider that the most important thing is faith in their students. No matter how dire the situation is, a tutor's faith and belief in their student should not waver. As students are looking to better themselves, a tutor's belief in them is crucial as they look towards their mentor for guidance. This, in addition with a tutor's well researched…

Inside PakenhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie focused on adding and subtracting fractions as well as operations with negative integers, using number lines for clarity.

In Year 8, Liam practised converting decimals to fractions and worked through perimeter calculations by breaking shapes into simpler parts.

For Year 10, Priya explored linear graphs—specifically finding gradients—and began work on non-linear graph interpretation with practical examples from coordinate geometry.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student struggled with worded problems and often left working untidy, making it hard to spot calculation errors—"written layout in multi-step questions was unclear."

A Year 9 learner relied heavily on calculator use for basic arithmetic, skipping mental checks in fraction work.

For a Year 10 student, revision time focused mostly on familiar algebra drills while avoiding application-style graphing tasks.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, missing the step of memorising exact values for trigonometric equations meant "she hesitated during SACs when no formula sheet was allowed," leading to avoidable delays under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Pakenham tutor noticed that a Year 8 student who used to get stuck on algebraic notation now works through questions independently, pausing only to check her process.

In a recent high school session, Tatum began using the financial solver tool on her calculator without prompting—last term she avoided it entirely and needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Sophie started taking her own notes during fraction lessons; this was a first for her as she'd previously relied only on the tutor's explanations. Last week, she completed all ten practice problems using her new method.

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 Pakenham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakwood School-Pakenham Campus.
