I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…

Inside ChermsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Matilda worked on converting fractions into decimals and dividing whole numbers by fractions, using visual aids to support understanding.

Year 10 student Brodie focused on networks and financial maths, applying concepts through assessment tasks and targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Stephanie reviewed index laws alongside algebraic skills like grouping like terms and expanding brackets, with extra time spent refining responses for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly lost her formula "cheat sheet" before tests, making last-minute revision stressful and undermining her confidence with unfamiliar questions. "She looked up formulas on Google instead of practicing recall," noted a tutor, so memorization didn't improve for test day.

In Year 11 Maths, messy or incomplete class notes meant key methods were forgotten by the next session—without periodic review, foundational skills slipped away when harder problems appeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student hesitated to attempt new types of questions independently, requiring step-by-step guidance and losing time whenever instructions changed mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Chermside tutor noticed that Claudia, a Year 10 student who used to hesitate and rely heavily on guidance, now works through most maths problems independently and only seeks help for particularly tough questions.

In another session, Jackson, a high schooler, was able to use the Talk Aloud strategy to clearly explain his thinking in algebra—previously he'd struggled to verbalise his steps or ask for clarification.

Meanwhile, Matilda in primary school has started finishing creative writing tasks more willingly and even sticks with difficult exercises until completion, rather than giving up when she gets stuck.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jakob and Cara have a great working relationship and cover alot of content in each session. Cara's confidence and maths skills have grown considerably since commencing tutoring.

Amity is enjoying her tutouring. She is very pleased as she recently received an academic award at school meaning she had received A for all subjects for last term. So we are very happy with Xiaoya.

Tutoring is going very well she's starting to show some progress now which is good and Deanna works her hard which is great.

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