I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence that they can complete problems on their own and be successful in their studies. I remember how disheartening it was when I couldn't understand or effectively answer problems in school. Especially at a younger age, academic success is a value that…

I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic. By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to assure them that they are making progress. They shouldn't be compared to their peers, but rather themselves from before. I'm very patient and I understand that the reason many of the young people going to extra tutoring do so because they need help. I am aware that the students…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is respect their learning process.

We've all struggled…

I definitely think that there needs to be a solid understanding of the student and the way in which they learn so that the tutor can teach them in a way which is most effective to them. Along with this, I think that the tutor should make the student feel comfortable with them so that they feel free to ask questions or ask for further…

Beyond the learning of a specific subject, which may appear to be the main goal of tutoring to some, the most important things I believe a tutor can do for a student is to offer an enjoyable experience of learning.

The tutor can find a common wavelength and understand the student's way of grasping. Every student has a different way of learning and perceive stuff. i find out different ways to solve one question.

The most important you can do for a student is to know their abilities and work their capabilities to make them better at the subject they're trying to get better at. It is also important to understand every student is different and not all of them can grapple a concept quickly. But as a tutor, I must make sure I am accounting for each students…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to motivate him/her. Students look at tutors or mentors as their future or they get inspired by them very easily. Hence being that influential person is what I aim to do as a tutor. As a child, I admired my teachers and I got inspiration from them to do something which made me work…

In many cases, the problem is not the child's ability but rather the lack of confidence and lack of interest in the subject.

Many parents come to me because they…

Support them. Sometimes students just need that boost of confidence and support to understand.

Inside Kelvin GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Angus focused on probability concepts, including two-way tables and Venn diagrams, with practice questions to build confidence ahead of his assessment.

In Year 9, Lina worked through trigonometry topics such as sine and cosine rules using example problems, and also tackled compound interest calculations involving both direct and reverse scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jessica covered advanced Specialist Mathematics skills by practising integration techniques—like u-substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions—through step-by-step walkthroughs of homework and revision problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived at a recent lesson without having completed her assigned Optimisation homework, saying she was too busy; as the tutor noted, "she is yet to do last week's homework…as well as other exercise questions." This pattern left gaps in understanding, especially when unfamiliar integration techniques appeared on exams.

In Year 10, another student struggled to start problem-solving tasks independently—without a hint, progress stalled and practice outside lessons remained limited.

For Year 7 algebra revision, one learner frequently confused positive and negative signs: "minor mistakes kept creeping in," slowing feedback and review.

Missed practice or incomplete preparation often meant time was spent re-covering basics instead of advancing new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Kelvin Grove tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitating to start integration problems, now jumps straight in independently and selects the right method on her own.

A Year 10 student has begun openly asking questions about mock test errors—something she avoided previously—so she can clarify tricky points before her upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to rush through worded maths questions now takes time to extract key details before solving, showing real care and accuracy by reading each question twice before answering.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email received today. I am very pleased to report that we are very impressed with Minh and his approach to tutoring our son. Minh is a very responsible and passionate teacher, we feel his enthusiasm will promote Elijah-Taye to the required level in a reasonable time frame.

Thank you for your follow up.  Ty is progressing well and we are all happy with the way things are going (mum, dad and Ty).  Apart from the normal issues, that sometimes he just 'doesn't feel like it' at the beginning of the session, he enjoys the tutoring and is gaining benefits already.  Though Ty has always had quite a good understanding of Maths, the idea of tutoring was to keep him at his best.  He was complaining of not understanding his teacher this year, so the different ways of thinking and and ways of teaching are definitely helping. I am happy with Sheetal and his dedication to his tutoring, even ringing Ty to check his progress before an assessment.  This is not something that I was expecting, but is a welcome addition as I see it helping Ty keep focused as well.

Thanks for the email. We are very happy with Lisa. She is bright and keen and has established a very easy rapport with Xiao. Xiao actually really likes her. We feel very confident that Xiao will continue to make progress with her maths.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kelvin Grove State College.
