The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is to explain concepts, theories and course content in an easy to understand, and easy to recall way. So that the student can gain an understanding of the content, and the knowledge will be retained for future studies. I think the main reasons that people came to me for help in school was…

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

I think the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to present the lesson in a way that it is more understandable that how it is being presented at school. That way, the student will develop interest in the subject and will help understand the lessons better. It is also important for a tutor to understand where the difficulty of…

The most important thing as a tutor is to be there for your student, not only academically but mentally and emotionally as well. I want my students to feel like they can ask me for advice on subjects that may not pertain to their education, but I want them to also feel like they can come to me for help when it comes to their academics as well.…

Make them feel confident and comfortable to at least ask questions when they don’t understand something. I feel that quite often when we don’t understand something in school we stay quiet and don’t say anything and assume we will just be able ti figure it out on our own but usually that doesn’t work. Having the confidence to ask questions…

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.
