One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is stepping into their shoes and acknowledging the time and effort it may require to reach their goals. This will allow tutors to better encourage and motivate the student while keeping them organised and disciplined. I am empathic and understand the pressure and stress that comes with…

In my view, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop a deep understanding of the subject matter. This means going beyond simply helping them complete assignments and prepare for exams, and instead working with them to build a foundation of knowledge and skills that they can apply to future challenges. A good…

The most important things I can provided to the student are an approachable, enriching learning environment. An enriching learning environment is like a petri-dish full of nutrients. The role of tutors is to help the students absorb as much of these 'nutrients' (i.e. knowledge and skills) as they can in an effective and enjoyable way. I believe my…

Firstly, a tutor must be kind and caring of the student's situation, and must be able to quickly determine the best method of teaching for that particular student. Only then can the tutor raise the motivation and enthusiasm of the student which is crucial in allowing them to learn at the optimum level. Once they are learning at this level, their…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be open and offer an open exchange of exchange of information that allows a student to freely delve into a subject. I feel tutors better excel at this compared to teachers who's depth and exploration of a topic can be shallow due to the rigorous nature of the syllabus. My strengths would be gentle…

Build their confidence; I think once a student has confidence in themselves, and trust that they have what it takes to tackle even a small part of a subject, their view of that subject completely shifts, and most often it makes learning more enjoyable. That inner confidence also makes it more likely they work harder and succeed, as well as overall…

Inside GirraweenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Joseph worked on place value and rounding numbers, as well as identifying prime and composite numbers using hands-on number exercises.

Year 8 student Rory tackled linear relationships by exploring the y = mx + c form and practiced solving algebraic equations with substitution.

For Year 10, Nancy focused on financial maths concepts including simple interest calculations and was introduced to compound interest problems through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often copied notes quickly and "would miss a sign or two because he go past too fast," leading to errors in factorising tasks and missed steps in quadratic problems.

In upper primary mathematics, another student repeatedly defaulted to using algorithms for multiplication rather than trying mental strategies, slowing progress on multi-step questions and making it harder to spot mistakes—especially when asked to convert mixed numbers or simplify fractions.

During NAPLAN practice, incomplete written working meant key problem-solving steps were forgotten, causing avoidable confusion and extra time spent re-reading questions instead of moving forward confidently.

Recent Achievements

A Girraween tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions is now openly requesting help with tricky algebra steps, instead of quietly guessing—especially during lessons on factorising quadratics.

Another high schooler made a leap in Maths: after weeks of uncertainty, she managed to self-correct her mistakes when converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, even explaining her thinking aloud for the first time.

In a primary session, one student surprised his tutor by identifying and pronouncing words correctly while reading aloud—a marked change from earlier reluctance to attempt unfamiliar vocabulary.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

All going well so far. We feel confident that it will help with Emily's confidence.

The sessions are going well. My daughters have responded well to Abed. He is warm and encouraging.

Austin must be a great teacher. Got Anthony to even find it important to do homework in math.

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 Constitution Hill Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Girraween Public School.
