Online Tutor Robertson, QLD
I think understanding each student is an important part to tutoring, and being able to motivate each student into learning for themselves should be the ultimate goal for any teacher. I've had some teachers that did that for me and I have them remembered always. I think students would like me. I'm easygoing and try to make the content appealing,…

Online Tutor
A tutor should set a good example for the student by punctual, respectful and approachable. A tutor should help the student set clear goals and monitor their progress. Above all, a tutor needs to believe in the student's capacity for growth, self-discipline and excellence. I think that I am very structured. I try my best to relate to students and…

Online Tutor
Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

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

I've not actually met Tevita myself but both Ashleigh and my husband Adam have nothing but good things to say about him.  Ashleigh is very happy with his tutoring so far and seems to have a better understanding of the maths subjects she is doing.

We are very impressed with Jason and Scott enjoys the sessions with him which is great. Thanks.

Tim has now had 3 sessions with Dean and so far it seems to be a positive experience. Tim enjoys his company and understands the way he explains things , I guess this is a good place to start and hopefully it will continue to build into a rewarding learning experience.

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.
