Science Tutor Wurtulla, QLD
I feel that the most important things are creating a passion within the student for the subject and boosting their confidence and self-esteem. I am confident and articulate and thus would be able to communicate effectively with my student. I am also hardworking and would put in all the necessary effort to ensure my student realises his/her goals.…

Science Tutor Alexandra Headland, QLD
It is so important for a tutor to know how a student learns. Some students don't work well with rote learning, so making activities that are fun and engaging is very important. Also, being aware that some students are more visual learners or kinetic learner, so being able to cater to that is extremely important. I believe that I can connect well…

Inside BokarinaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Summer worked on telling time using analogue clocks and solving number line subtraction questions from her homework.

In Year 9, Rebecca practised simplifying algebraic terms and calculating rates through targeted textbook exercises.

For Year 11, Ryan focused on developing a math assignment involving the creation of a dinner menu for a party, applying concepts of percentages and cost calculations throughout the session.

Recent Challenges

The Year 11 Engineering student has not consistently sought feedback or clarified assignment expectations, despite being encouraged to do so—"he must actively ask and bombard his teachers with questions," noted one tutor.

In Year 8 Maths, one student repeatedly forgot to bring home schoolwork for revision, which made it harder to review basic concepts like multiplication and division.

The Year 10 student was observed relying heavily on notes during data analysis tasks rather than practicing independent problem-solving.

These habits meant valuable lesson time was spent retracing missed steps or clarifying assignment requirements instead of advancing new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Bokarina tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now confidently requests clarification on tricky calculus steps, leading to smoother problem-solving and less second-guessing.

Another high schooler recently shifted from struggling with rearranging equations to accurately recalling formulas and choosing when to use them, even rating his own progress higher than in past sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to lose focus during writing tasks managed to stay engaged throughout an assignment, typing independently without distraction and finishing her paragraph before asking the tutor for feedback.

What they say about our tutoring

More importantly, I want to let you know that Hannah, Peter and I are very happy with Phal - she's super smart, friendly and a great communicator.  She's lifted Hannah's confidence within a few short weeks and, circumstances permitting, we look forward to a long and productive tutoring association with her.

I am 100% satisfied with your company and Rick, Alanahs tutor. I will definately call on you if the need arises again and won't hesitate in recommending you if anyone I know required tutoring services.

Although my family has only met Wageesha once, we all felt very comfortable with her. She has a wonderful way with children and communicates very easily with them. Initially my son was very reluctant towards having a tutor however, after working with Wageesha he really enjoyed it and wants to keep going. She is very respectful and easy to talk to. I can already see that she would strive to get the  best from her students.

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 Kawana Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kawana Waters State College.
