Tutor Buccan, QLD
While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As a tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced themselves they…

The most beneficial things a student can gain from a tutor is the ability to understand the problems the student may not be able to communicate or 'put a finger on', and then of course provide help that can be as clear as possible for the student. I can understand the problems the student may undertake but may not be able to communicate and…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can provide a student with is the confidence in themselves that is needed to accomplish what they dream. By explaining things in a way which makes sense to each individual student they are equipped with the tools they require to get where they want to be in life. My ability to explain concepts in a way…

I believe that a tutor should instil a positive mindset to learning in each student, by encouraging them to challenge themselves, be persistent, and know that making mistakes is a part of learning. I also feel that a tutor should teach their students practical strategies and skills that students can learn to use independently. This way, students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is listen to their student and work out the most appropriate way to help them.

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, a tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing patience,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to go out of his/her way to make sure a student succeeds. For example, by making sure the student understands the material by either using different methods to convey key ideas or for the student to have constant interaction to the tutor and not just during the allocated tutor time. I…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

Inside BuccanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jessica practised adding and subtracting decimals, as well as converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

For Year 10, Olivia worked on solving logarithmic equations using log rules and rewriting square roots as powers, while Ethan tackled quadratic equations with a focus on factorising.

In Year 11, Samuel revised derivatives from first principles and applied the index laws to algebraic expressions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student skipped the assigned maths homework and had not started a key assignment; as noted, "needs to prioritize his maths assignment more."

In Year 7 algebra, another relied heavily on worked examples rather than attempting new problems independently—this slowed progress with rounding and multiplication.

One senior student completed a practice test but struggled to manage time effectively under exam conditions, relying on the tutor for guidance instead of working through questions solo.

In primary maths, homework was sometimes claimed but not actually done; this became clear when division errors kept recurring during warm-ups.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Buccan noticed one Year 8 student who, after struggling with statistics early on, now tackles mean, median, and mode problems with minimal prompting. Just last session he independently identified the next steps for each question.

In a recent high school lesson, a student who used to wait for hints during algebra practice is now completing all assigned tasks without help and even asks for extra challenge questions when time allows.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student surprised her tutor by talking through her addition aloud—something she was hesitant to do before—and getting almost every answer correct during their latest session.

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