Tutor Smithfield, QLD
Tutoring is essentially an aid for student's learning in schools. The most important thing that a tutor can do is to ignite students' passion for learning. This can be acheived through helping them with questions and concepts that they find confusing, guiding them to develop their own problem solving strategies and most importantly growing their…

Tutor Cairns, QLD
Make a student feel comfortable with their learning process, transmit reliability and proximity at the same time, pay attention to every detail that could be asked or not solved. I consider that the emotional aspect has to be addressed in order to strengthen a better understanding and a more solid knowledge. Patience, rigor, implication and…

Tutor Brinsmead, QLD
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to engage the student in a way which makes them want to keep learning that specific subject if not fall in love with it. At the end of the day motivation must come from the student themself and as a tutor I believe it is my job to help the student find that motivation. I believe my…

Tutor Westcourt, QLD
I personally believe that for a tutor to be effective, they have to be willing to listen to, and learn from, the individual that they are working with. There is always more than one way to teach a specific skill, and, as a result of this, it is important to work together to find the most effective methods. I think that it is important to foster an…

A good tutor will help students develop the problem-solving skills necessary so that they are confident in their abilities when faced with a difficult question outside the session. A tutor should be there to guide the student towards their own conclusions, whilst ensuring all gaps in understanding are filled. Importantly, a tutor must provide a…

Tutor Smithfield, QLD
The most important is the capacity for the tutor to engage with a student closely, and altering their mindset to or around mathematics. This may be making them enjoy the subject more, approaching with a more efficient way of thinking to certain exam problems (especially so that it suits the student' learning method), or even just helping them feel…

Inside FreshwaterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Layla focused on calculating wages and solving profit and loss problems, as well as practicing simple interest calculations using worked examples.

For Year 8, Will spent time applying the Pythagoras theorem to find unknown side lengths in triangles and revising key algebra skills, including finding gradients from linear equations.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sophia revised index laws by simplifying expressions with indices and practiced expanding complex brackets when working through her recent school test questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student "lost the previous homework sheet so had to spend lesson going through it again"—this interrupted progress and suggests a need for stronger organization around materials.

In a senior grade, forgetting to complete assigned homework repeatedly meant less practice with complex algebraic sign rules, leading to persistent mistakes when moving terms across equations.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner arrived without gear for study; as noted by the tutor: "did not have gear for study," so time was lost and key note-taking skills could not be reinforced.

Each moment of disorganization or incomplete work led directly to missed learning opportunities in class.

Recent Achievements

A Freshwater tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of needing prompts for each formula, is now tackling complex assignment questions independently and even applying feedback to improve her work without hesitation.

Meanwhile, in a recent high school session, another student came prepared with her own revision material and specific questions—something she'd avoided before—and finished all her test prep ahead of time.

On the primary side, one Year 4 student who previously hesitated with division started solving problems on her own and asked for extra practice, finishing every homework task set that week.

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 Stratford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Freshwater State School.
