Legal Studies Tutor Carina Heights, QLD
Teaching should be done flexibly, catering to each individuals as all students are different in their approach to learning and the time it takes to grasp each topics. I have also learnt that students often find themselves too afraid to ask questions and as a tutor I must be patient in ensuring that a student understands each questions before…

Having structured, logical and reasonable lesson plans unique to the needs of the student, and outlined learning objectives are essential. Learning style, strengths and weaknesses often vary among students and teaching methods often require reasonable flexibility. Setting a positive example is often a first step in motivating and inspiring…

Legal Studies Tutor Wavell Heights, QLD
The most important things a tutor can do for a student include: firstly, helping students understand what they think they are not being taught enough/want to understand more of, secondly, improve their confidence/attitude towards the content that they are learning in a specific class (e.g. Maths can seem quite daunting to some students; changing…

Legal Studies Tutor Nathan, QLD
I think that a tutor should help foster understanding of difficult concepts so that the student is able to do the work themselves, rather than doing the work for them. Additionally, going over the work with them, and showing them how they can improve is important. Ensuring that they understand ways they can get better helps more than telling them,…

Legal Studies Tutor Wavell Heights, QLD
Support their learning without giving away the answers easily so that the student can actually practice while supervised. This not only and proves their understanding, but also allows them to go through all of the processes in problem solving so that they form their own framework to comprehend the subject matter. It is important to do this while…

Inside Kangaroo PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Sam worked through adding and subtracting logarithms as well as simplifying surds, focusing on step-by-step algebraic methods.

In Year 10, Jasmine tackled arithmetic sequences and their application to real-life problems using formulae.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Leo explored scientific notation and measurements of astronomical distances such as astronomical units (AU) and light years while learning key facts about the universe with practical examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for Mathematical Methods exams often relied on notes and formula sheets but, as one tutor noted, "skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This habit made it harder to spot mistakes during revision.

In Year 10 Chemistry, the written investigation lacked scientific terminology and clear extraction of key information from sources; this meant some criteria in the marking guide were missed.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's unfamiliarity with mathematical terms like "increase" or "total amount" led to confusion in multi-step word problems—especially under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Kangaroo Point tutor recently noticed Olivia proactively identifying her own areas of difficulty in Chemistry and helping plan targeted revision sessions for her upcoming exams—something she was hesitant to do last term.

Meanwhile, Andrew, also in high school, showed real growth by recalling key maths concepts from the previous year and independently applying them during his pre-grade assessment, a shift from needing reminders before.

In primary years, Amelie now consistently asks clarifying questions when unsure about new topics rather than staying quiet or guessing; last week she confidently solved unfamiliar data analysis problems after seeking guidance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tutoring seems to be going well. I think both Matthew and Abbey are starting to settle into a routine. Abbey has started to apply some of the methods Matthew has shown her to school work. She has come home from school a couple of times now, saying she was asked a question during maths time and got it right. Which, of course, she was very happy about! Within the next few weeks, I will receive Abbey's report for semester 1. I will show Matt, so he has even more understanding of her needs. I'm looking forward to seeing what they achieve in the coming months.

Georgia and myself are very happy with our tutor, Jess. They have a good rapport together and Georgia improved in confidence and Maths already.

Richard is a really lovely young man. He is very patient and good at explaining concepts. He is working really well with Annah and I think even in the 3 weeks we have had so far her understanding and confidence is growing.

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 Brisbane Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Primary School.
