Biology Tutor Yatala, QLD
The most beneficial things a student can gain from a biology 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…

Biology Tutor Waterford West, QLD
Ensure that if they are facing significant challenges with a specific topic, that they maintain a growth mindset, and do not orient their attitude to one of self-defeat. My main strength is in my ability to communicate. I can utilize multiple approaches to explain a single a simple concept if needed, and use simple and concise…

Biology Tutor Holmview, QLD
The most important thing is to understand the students misconceptions and how to correct the cause of that misconception. To ensure that their fundamental knowledge is corrected before pursuing more complex tasks. It is also essentially to show empathy and respect so they may respect you back and try their best for you. I am empathetic and…

Biology Tutor Loganlea, QLD
I believe that building solid rapport with a student is one of the most important tasks a biology tutor needs to achieve in order to ensure future development and academic growth. This involves listening closely to what the student wants to achieve in regards to the studies, and creating an effective communication system whereby the tutor…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

Steven has seen great benefit from the tutoring he has received from Robert these past months. His grades and his confidence in Maths has improved tremendously. Thank you so very much for the wonderful service you have provided. Robert is fantastic and Steven worked really well with him and actually would look forward to his Tuesday lessons!

I found my tutoring sessions with Daryl to be very helpful, for the period that I needed him for. Thank you for your service.  It was most definitely appreciated.  Please pass on my regards to Daryl.

We are very happy with both Seth's tutor Robert and his progress! He is actually looking forward to starting up again when school goes back :)

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.
