Inspire them. One of the biggest roadblocks for many students is a general reluctance to do it due to negative stigma from either their parents, peers or even themselves. Sometimes when students don't quite grasp a concept, they will think "well I just don't get it", and then further down the line every time that concept is built upon, they will…

The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

The most vital thing a physics tutor can do for any student is to ensure comprehension of the topic. Notably, in math. It is easy enough to follow a procedure on how to solve a problem, running through the steps that were taught. However, if a student can understand why those steps are happening, and delve into fundamentals of the problem, then…

A tutor should be able to consider the wants and needs of the student, as well as keeping a steadily growing pace in terms of learning content. If a student is lacking in a specific area, the tutor should be able to recognise that and determine or formulate content plans to help mitigate that.

Local Reviews

Hamish is great and Jackson feels confident after receiving his help.
Natalie, Heathwood

Inside HeathwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Aryan worked on single- and double-digit addition and subtraction, as well as punctuation basics like full stops and question marks.

For Year 10, Zoe focused on algebraic methods for solving equations and practised factorising perfect squares and the difference of two squares using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled exponential and logarithmic functions, then extended to taking derivatives of these along with trigonometric functions in preparation for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Physics, a student struggled with formatting and pacing their scientific report—"needs more evidence"—which led to rushed conclusions and weaker claims.

A Year 11 Maths student showed over-reliance on calculators, often rounding answers prematurely instead of using exact forms when creating functions.

During Year 8 homework on graphing questions, one learner left work incomplete; as the tutor observed, "was unable to complete homework regarding graphing questions."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student hesitated to attempt challenging addition problems independently and required prompting to check her answers aloud. This sometimes meant correct methods weren't practiced until guided step-by-step.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Heathwood noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on step-by-step guidance now tackling optimization questions solo—she picks out relevant information from complex problems and confidently applies the right techniques.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, there was a shift: instead of guessing through index law questions, he paused to backtrack and find mistakes when prompted, showing real engagement with the process.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by adapting easily to the number-line strategy for addition and even tried harder problems independently before reading the time on an analogue clock for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cohen has been very good and encouraging. I feel that Olivia is starting to feel more confident with her maths. Thanks.

Everything is going well with Warit. Evan is happy with him so far. I trust that will continue.  He's comfortable to ask if he doesn't understand something. Warit has given Evan some good maths tips with his times tables that Evan has understood.

Emily is doing very well and Melanie is great. Emily is really comfortable with her and although it is early days she is improving. I am really happy with Melanie and the progress so far.

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