The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is always listen to what the student needs and try to expand upon their techniques that they use in their subjects. This allows the student to manipulate different techniques in their subjects for different topics, whether it may be working on Maths questions or planning how to write…

Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them.

I would like to thank Sanyia for her efforts and assistance as this has proved very helpful indeed.

Inside BurbankTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Thomas built background knowledge on binomial and normal distributions, then began learning to interpret worded probability questions by identifying key information.

For Year 11, Grace revised trigonometry and algebraic substitution through practice problems from her review sheet, focusing on tricky examples discussed in class.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Ella practised converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages as well as solving worded percentage questions using real-life money scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly forgot to bring essential materials to lessons, which meant valuable time was lost waiting for him to locate the required work.

In a Year 11 maths session, he relied on my instructions rather than using the school's scaffolding sheet, showing hesitancy in working independently on assignments and missing chances to build self-reliance.

A Year 8 student left homework incomplete for five consecutive weeks; this lack of consistent revision led her to forget basic multiplication facts during class games.

When faced with unfamiliar fraction conversions, a Year 5 student grew frustrated and stopped engaging—her confidence dipped further each time an answer eluded her.

Recent Achievements

A Burbank tutor recently noticed Ben, a Year 11 student, has started to ask more targeted questions when stuck on advanced trigonometry, rather than hesitating in silence as he did earlier in the year.

Another high schooler, Sas, made a shift from needing frequent hints with square and cube roots to working through these problems independently—she completed her latest worksheet without using a calculator or asking for help.

Meanwhile, Orla (Year 6) used to be reluctant about new maths topics but was genuinely excited to tackle capacity this week and showed off her classwork confidently during their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

We are very pleased with the tutoring and Nafuil is a very pleasant young man and easy to talk to. I was a bit concerned that Autumn might be a bit shy with him but she really likes him and all is well. Nafiul has advised that Autumn only has small gaps in her knowledge and he is assisting her with gaining this knowledge.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

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 Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sinai College.
