I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to equip a student with critical thinking skills relating to HOW to approach a problem. If a student can frame a problem, or recognize which tools are appropriate, then the rest becomes much more manageable. - I have a good knowledge of subjects, and their applications. - I can often recommend…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to instill confidence in a student. In the past, I had dealt with tough and frustrated students with patience and empathy. I try to make a student become confident by being a supportive friend more than a tutor. I do my best to create a comfortable environment where students can open up,…

I think it's okay for tutors to make mistakes while teaching, but these mistakes have to be found out and clearly explained to the students afterwards. Hence the most important thing I think as a tutor is to be sincere and responsible. I am academically excellent on Maths and I am fully confident on teaching this subject since I achieved higher…

Moreover, a tutor has a strong influence over their students and should always act as a role model for them. I think…

I believe persistence is key when learning mathematics. I have found that even if a mathematical concept is completely alien to me, as long as I kept reading and kept trying, I would always find I understood it. To show patience and know students do have the ability to understand concepts, would mean a great deal to their progress. My strengths…

A student (or student's parents) hires tutors to teach them what they cannot learn from teachers at school. As such, the teachers must be failing to accommodate for the conflicting teaching/learning styles. Providing a student with a high degree of attention and a tutoring style suited to their learning style would develop the student's knowledge…

I believe that every individual learns things in different ways. In a classroom, each teacher will have their own way of presenting and teaching the content, and this method is most likely to be consistent throughout the year. Whilst this may cater for some students, and help them excel in the particular subject, it might not be suitable for other…

I believe that tutors are like side wheels on a bike when children start learning how to ride a bicycle. Eventually, they'll have to take it off and ride on their own but in the meantime it is the tutor's responsibility to teach them how to ride it, show them how to learn from their failures, and if you're good enough maybe give them the fun…

Inside Eight Mile PlainsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Mikyla worked on confidently substituting values into algebraic expressions and practiced combining like terms, especially with both positive and negative coefficients.

Year 10 student Lara focused on understanding the laws of indices and surds, as well as solving a range of quadratic equations through manipulation and problem-solving strategies.

For Year 12, Savio tackled exam revision in differentiation—specifically limits, tangents, and curve analysis—using worked examples to consolidate key calculus skills ahead of assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing a Research Investigation in Physics found it difficult to organize ideas coherently and clarify the task, as seen when narrowing down an evaluable research question.

In Year 10 Maths, one student tended to "attempt to memorise the content rather than understanding it first," which led to forgetting key processes during revision.

Another, in Year 8 Algebra, skipped writing out steps for negatives and squared values—"It's better to write down the working steps out than doing mental maths."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student admitted procrastinating on exam prep; practice was left until the last minute, impacting confidence under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Eight Mile Plains noticed that one Year 11 student, after initially struggling to structure her research investigation, was able to clarify her research question and engage much more actively during the session.

In a high school maths lesson, another student began openly asking for help when stuck on tangents and differentiation, rather than hesitating or guessing—showing a real shift towards self-advocacy.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who previously mixed up "greater than" and "less than" symbols remembered the difference this week by using a new visual trick and completed all comparison problems correctly without reminders.

Maths tutoring in Eight Mile Plains

Everybody knows that Maths is supposed to be difficult. It requires thinking in a logical and structured manner and those worded problems, they're super hard! The thing is that it's all about having the right approach. Every student learns best in their own specific way but at school there is a one-size-fits-all approach. Some students fall behind, others just can't seem to achieve the success they want. What's the remedy? Private 1-on-1 home tutoring is certainly one workable solution. It's a tailored approach that you can customize to your specific needs whatever they may be.
