The most important thing a tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be able to help the student enjoy the subject and to help them to improve their grades. Also, in a subject like mathematics, a tutor must be able to help students to solve tricky and challenging questions. I will be able to do this since I try to teach students the different techniques needed to solve…

I believe it's being supportive of the students' progress, no matter how big or small. Keeping track of their achievements and encouraging them makes the subject less daunting and more approachable. I believe I am able to teach children in a way that helps them understand a topic. This is due to how I learn topics myself, which involves learning…

A tutor can change a student's life in ways more than one. She can help them find their confidence. She can, also, help them believe in themselves and encourage them to ask questions they have been scared to ask in their classes. A tutor can help a student overcome their fears and help them improve. Apart from helping the students achieve their…

In my view, the most important aspect of being a tutor is to provide personalised guidance and support to each student. Every student has their own set of strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. A tutor should identify these individual characteristics and adapt their teaching methods to meet the specific needs of each student. Additionally,…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is patience and keep great confident about your students, since sometime when they cannot understand the course materials very quickly, the tutors cannot rush them or blame them or being negative.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them to understand that the concepts and techniques they are learning are much less frightening and overwhelming when they are boiled down and simplified into manageable components.

The most important thing a tutor must do for a student is listening. To me, there's a big difference between listening and hearing someone. Hearing is simply the ability to use your ears. However being able to listen to the student, understanding where they are coming from is a whole new skill. Math has always been one of my strongpoints back in…

Inside Fig Tree PocketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Meg tackled ratio problems and reviewed tricky questions from class, often using visual examples to support understanding.

In Year 8, Sophie worked through a maths practice test and explored probability concepts with real-world style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack revised derivatives and logarithms by tackling past exam-style questions, helping consolidate his skills ahead of assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student consistently avoided the final exam questions—especially multi-step problems with unfamiliar scenarios—preferring to revisit easier practice sets. This meant they missed chances to build confidence tackling the hardest test sections.

For a Year 11 Engineering assignment, another student delayed starting the "solve" section until prompted, leading to rushed last-minute work and overlooked feedback ("needs to make sure that his PSMT is done up to the solve section by next Wednesday").

In Year 6, forgetting about lessons altogether resulted in missed homework submissions and falling behind on key content.

Recent Achievements

A Fig Tree Pocket tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, who had previously struggled with homework independence, tackle all assigned maths problems solo and even achieve a B+ on her recent test—she only needed to check one answer with the tutor.

Meanwhile, a senior student finally cracked the logic behind quadratic discriminants after weeks of confusion, confidently applying it to enrichment questions that used to feel out of reach.

At primary level, one younger learner surprised their tutor by reading instructions aloud for the first time without prompting before completing all ten worksheet problems on their own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, Thanks for the follow up email.  Currently I am offshore and will be back in Perth around the 19th. I am sure Alex is going well, however time will tell.  Louise and Myself are happy with Safire.

We have got off to a great start with Devina.  Aiden has really enjoyed the sessions so far and finds Devina explains everything extremely well, actually much better than his teacher at school.  We are making really good progress and even after such a short time Aiden has gained so much more confidence with his maths,  so many thanks for sending her our way.

Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome.  Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man.  Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brisbane Montessori School.
