I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic. By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…

As a tutor, the ability to get a student invested in the topic they are learning and keep it sustained by making the process an organized effort through active conversations and dialogue is vital in any classroom. Being a student myself, I understand the mindset a student has when trying to mentally grasp a concept and use it to solve problems.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is instill confidence in their students so they can tackle problems they were previously unfimiliar with on their own, as well as perform in high stress environments, such as tests. The best way to do this in my opinion is to go through practice problems with the students untill they fully…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence that they can complete problems on their own and be successful in their studies.

I definitely think that there needs to be a solid understanding of the student and the way in which they learn so that the tutor can teach them in a way which is most effective to them.

The tutor can find a common wavelength and understand the student's way of grasping. Every student has a different way of learning and perceive stuff. i find out different ways to solve one question.

Students can of course vary greatly in their strengths, difficulties and needs. This is true both intrinsically and as a function of development and external context. The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is therefore to diagnose those individual needs, and "meet the student where they are." The essential problem of tutoring…

I ended up getting an A* in the subject. I would want to follow…

The tutor should act like a robust bridge between the student and knowledge. He/she should guide the student in achieving erudition by showing the correct path. Tutors should also try to develop interest in students for subjects and it should not be confined to the prescribed curriculum. On the other hand it is prerogative for the tutor to realize…

Inside BulimbaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked through long division with and without remainders and practised adding and subtracting mixed numbers, sometimes using number lines for clarity.

In Year 10, Olivia focused on linear algebra—specifically simplifying and factorising like terms—and also tackled worded problems from her textbook to apply these skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Rebecca explored long division of polynomials and began investigating how derivatives can be applied in various function contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, one student relied heavily on mental calculations during proof questions, making it difficult to identify and correct errors; as a tutor noted, "not speaking aloud his working made it harder to correct."

Another senior student struggled with completing homework due to assignment overload, leading to gaps in algebraic foundations.

In Year 8 mathematics, forgetting to write all working steps resulted in avoidable errors with fractions and long division.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student sometimes confused perimeter and area but persevered after pausing to review diagrams—missteps that slowed progress through new geometry material.

Recent Achievements

One Bulimba tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now openly requests help when stuck on polynomial long division, leading her to solve most problems independently by the end of the session.

In a senior Chemistry lesson, another student moved from confusion about stoichiometry to completing multi-step calculation questions with minimal prompting after initially needing support each step of the way.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with setting out fraction problems is now consistently organising his work neatly and double-checking answers without reminders—he finished all ten practice questions accurately in one go.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Things are going well. Chris is doing a very good job. Since the tutoring sessions, my daughter seems to be more positive and has stated that Chris is explaining the work well, which makes it easier to understand. I am confident that this was the right decision and can't wait to see the results.

I would like to commend Mandy on her fantastic work with Jack.  She has been so patient and we could not have asked for a better match with our son. Their hard work has paid off as we have received several comments from Jack's  teacher telling us how well he is going in maths and that there has been an improvement.

The experience has been great and the results speak for them self. My son gained confidence as a result of the tutoring and i would gladly recommend you to my friends and family. The tutor was very pleasant to work with and very approachable.

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