Rocco
Tutor Eatons Hill, QLD
The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the ability to be confident in their own knowledge to attack any problem head on. I will never solve a problem for them, however I will always support them and give them the necessary tools to be able to do it on their own. Having been part of the first year of ATAR and achieving a…

Help them not only understand the individual questions they need to do to pass the exam - but understand the reason behind what they are doing and why it’s important to understand. I find they are more excited to learn if they understand the reason why they are doing the work. I think that I am good at correction and finding different ways to…

Tutor Ferny Grove, QLD
I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is teach them to think independently and creatively.

Sun-Ki

Tutoring one-on-one as opposed to teaching to a group allows a much more tailored approach to an indivudal student.

If the tutor can give the student space to figure out the solutions to their problems and only step in once the student shows signs of struggling it is more beneficial for the student as this method will allow the student to learn to solve problems on their own.

To instill confidence. During my school years I have found that many people do not believe themselves to be good at maths because it scares them. Before even trying to learn, they are convinced they can't do it, or it's too hard.

Inside DraperTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 9 student James worked through solving **simultaneous equations** and was introduced to trigonometry using right-angled triangles.
For Year 10, Priya practiced **critical path analysis** within decision networks and revised matrix addition and multiplication.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Marcus focused on **compound interest calculations**, including creating compound interest tables and rearranging related formulas for test preparation.
Recent Challenges
Did not complete any work on his assignment even though the due date is Monday next week.
In a senior class, one student relied heavily on shortcuts to answer compound interest questions but found this led to errors with more complex scenarios.
A Year 10 student skipped discussing unclear algebra steps with their teacher, so confusion persisted—could have discussed things with teacher more, needs ask more questions.
Missing homework and avoiding feedback left exam revision less effective and increased last-minute stress.
Recent Achievements
A Draper tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who used to rely on memorising formulas begin to confidently rearrange equations and choose the right formula for each problem, especially with compound interest—something he'd previously avoided.
Another high school student started actively setting out assignments independently, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance, after struggling to organise his work in earlier sessions.
In primary years, Tayla shaved her times tables speed from six minutes down to just two; she finished her last set without any hints and immediately asked for a more challenging round.
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 Albany Creek Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Samford State School.
