Chemistry Tutor Doolandella, QLD
To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing. Spoon feeding a student will only help temporarily and is very harmful. I believe my strengths are that i dont like to teach every child the same way. Each…

Be a non-judgmental voice they can ask about any questions they have on the subject matter and be someone who can effectively listen and explain their own knowledge to the student.

I think it would be acknowledging the difficulty in subjects to know that they aren't alone with their difficulties and also being able to explain to them the content of their subjects in new ways that makes sense to them. And also make them feel confident in their abilities as well as teaching them a new confidence of autonomy when it comes to…

A student's mind is like an unshaped wet pile of mud. A tutor is an artist responsible in shaping the minds such that they can stand out as an individual. The most important responsibility of a tutor is be kind and dedicated to the wellbeing of the students. The tutor must observe, listen and reach out to the student for assistance as they carve…

In tutoring, I feel you need to deliver content to students in a way which makes them more capable of understanding. Also keeping in mind that content should be delivered precisely and clearly. The students should feel like their tutor is approachable in answering all areas of the subject. I am very patient when it comes to assisting my siblings…

Be approachable and pay attention. It's very hard to put your own worldview aside when it comes to knowledge, and many people are likely not even cognisant of that, but you need to understand that you know things that the child doesn't even know what they don't know. I make learning a bit more laid back and approachable. My strength is in relating…

Inside DrewvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Zoe worked on linear equations, focusing on rearranging formulae and revising key algebra fundamentals, before being introduced to probability concepts.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled derivatives—both from first principles and using standard rules—and began applying these skills to physics assignments.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya focused on bivariate data analysis for her maths assignment, including drafting conclusions from scatter graphs and interpreting real-world correlations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on algebra often left steps unwritten, making it hard for the teacher to spot errors—"writing down steps and working out clearly for teacher to mark" was flagged as a next step.

In Year 12 Physics assignments, drafts were submitted with incomplete analysis sections; despite feedback, some written parts remained underdeveloped.

A Year 8 student arrived late to several lessons, losing valuable time and momentum ("came 10 minutes late for tutoring but spent 1 hour and 20 mins on lesson").

For one Year 11 Maths Methods student, not recalling previously learned rules slowed progress in revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Drewvale tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with calculus concepts, now applies derivative rules independently to exam problems with much less prompting than before.

In a separate high school session, another student took feedback from their last chemistry assignment and made clear improvements—this time handing in a draft that needed far fewer corrections.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 lesson, a student who previously hesitated to ask for help began raising her hand when stuck instead of guessing silently, which let her finish all her times tables exercises without errors.

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 West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stretton State College.
