Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points. Another thing is to pass on the passion towards the subject to motivate students to push on. Straightforward, calmness and knowledge are my strengths. I'm passionate about science and…

Science Tutor Indooroopilly, QLD
I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure there is continual improvement in their work. If there are signs the student is not improving, then it's important to look for weaknesses or anything the student is struggling with and work on those areas. I know at uni, and when I was at school, the feeling of understanding…

To recognise the student's limits, and to help them reach beyond them.

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

Go at a pace in which the student feels comfortable, as going too quickly may be the reason they didn't understand it when their teachers taught them. Following this a tutor needs to have done some work on the subject before seeing the student as if the tutor doesn't understand what he/she is saying, the student has no chance. Also going through…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

Jocelyn, Jindalee

Inside JindaleeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily focused on converting between millimetres, centimetres, and metres and practised measurement problems involving unit changes.

For Year 10, James worked through sketching quadratic functions using turning points and factored form, along with solving quadratics by factorisation and the quadratic formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia tackled derivatives of polynomial and non-polynomial functions as part of her PSMT assignment, also discussing how to structure each sub-heading for clear assignment presentation.

Recent Challenges

Forgetting to bring the school homework book home repeatedly in Year 7 meant missing vital practice and made it hard to pinpoint specific struggles.

A Year 10 student had not completed assigned homework and often could not recall classwork details. "Writing any questions in a separate book and bringing them home should help solidify understanding," noted one tutor.

For Year 12, missing regular revision led to gaps in applying formulas during functions tasks; over-reliance on the graphics calculator limited confidence with graph plotting by hand. This left key skills unpracticed when needed most.

Recent Achievements

One Jindalee tutor saw a big shift in a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—now, he's speaking up whenever unsure and requests to go over tricky concepts again.

In another session, a Year 10 student took real ownership of her chemistry work: after the first question was explained, she completed the next two independently with only light guidance and then tackled later problems entirely on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often guessed answers now labels all her maths work neatly and double-checks for errors before moving on.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jindalee State School.
