The most important thing about being a tutor is definitely creating output for the student as effectively and efficiently as possible. However, this cannot be done in a way where the student feels obliged to come to your sessions to study. They must enjoy the environment so that they are doing this happily and to their own accord. I am persistent,…

A lot of people are "scared" of Mathematics, but I think it would be really fulfilling for me as a tutor when someone I taught starts enjoying and loving the subject. I am a very patient person and I tend to overdo myself, so I feel like as a tutor, I would do my best to…

Inspire them. One of the biggest roadblocks for many students is a general reluctance to do it due to negative stigma from either their parents, peers or even themselves. Sometimes when students don't quite grasp a concept, they will think "well I just don't get it", and then further down the line every time that concept is built upon, they will…

Inside Browns PlainsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Ethan focused on statistics, working through box plots and stem-and-leaf diagrams as well as measures of central tendency like mean and mode, using visual representations to deepen understanding.

In Year 10, Olivia practised plotting scatter graphs and interpreting correlation strength and direction, then moved on to algebra by forming equations for straight lines and solving simultaneous equations by substitution.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James revised linear functions—exploring graphing techniques and the relationship between gradients and y-intercepts to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for exams found herself overwhelmed by multiple-choice questions, not due to content gaps but unfamiliarity with the format; "she became overwhelmed…due to lack of experience in them."

In Year 9, one learner repeatedly avoided writing out working when tackling algebraic rearrangements, relying on mental calculations—this led to missed sign errors and made feedback difficult.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student often struggled with laying out her long division steps clearly, causing confusion during teacher marking.

For a senior student, inconsistent use of calculator functions slowed down progress on statistics tasks, leaving her unsure which features to apply under pressure.

Recent Achievements

During a Browns Plains tutoring session, one Year 12 student became much more proactive in spotting and correcting their own calculation errors during complex probability questions, where previously they would miss these mistakes until prompted.

Another high schooler who used to hesitate with calculator-based tasks now independently navigates the correct menus for technology-assisted assessments, quickly inputting values without guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started explaining out loud how she solves money problems and highlights key information herself—something she was reluctant to do before—which helps her tackle multi-step questions with far less assistance than earlier in the term.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been extremely happy with our son Jacks progress and we are forever thankful for all that Thiru has done teaching and coaching Jack up to speed.

Albert is a very nice guy, polite, thorough and a good tutor, I personally would hire him again.

We have found Matthew to be very delightful, knowledgeable and easy to work with, everything is going fine.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Indie School, Logan.
