I mentioned all things above including practices either at home or at school. Both tutors and students have major obligation to reach a level of skills and ability to get communicating with each other to get the goal done, which is improving the student's brain in order to solve problems.

A tutor should deploy all abilities to assist the student. However, a strong work ethic is a tutor's most important quality.

First of all, communication is definitely vital in order to engage with tutees.

Inside MerrimacTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Sophie practiced **addition and subtraction with worded problems**, worked on recognising key phrases in maths questions, and used real-life scenarios to understand money calculations.

In Year 10, Milly focused on **financial maths topics such as calculating interest and monthly losses** through practice exam questions, as well as applying budgeting skills and interpreting transport timetables.

For Year 11 Mathematics Methods, Jonah tackled **trigonometry fundamentals including the unit circle and exact values**, plus finding equations for tangents to sine or cosine graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly left their textbook or charged laptop at home, which meant they couldn't access essential examples during lessons—this delayed progress on advanced integration techniques.

For a Year 12 student, notes show that time management was an issue: "Needs to focus more on getting ideas to paper as soon as possible to save the last minute rush."

In Year 7 maths, messy working and missing decimal points in financial problems made it hard to track errors; one session ended with confusion over change because steps weren't shown clearly.

When exam practice began, incomplete homework left gaps in problem-solving routines.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Merrimac recently noticed a big shift for Cameron, a high school student who used to hesitate with worded maths problems—now he's reading questions carefully, working out what's needed before diving in, and even tackling five practice problems a day on his own.

Mikayla (Year 11) finally grasped how to find the equation of a tangent line to sine and cosine waves by breaking each step down, which was tricky for her before.

In Year 3, Sophie has gone from needing lots of hints to solving addition and subtraction questions independently, even talking through her solutions aloud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Adam is great, very professional, organised, genuinely cares and Conan really likes him and enjoys attending.

We are very happy with Ammar and how Caleb and Elijah are progressing.  Ammar is very reliable and a great communicator.

My daughter is very happy with John, he is making it fun for her and they interact quite well. Very pleasant young man. Overall I am very happy with John and looking forward to my daughter  having a greater understanding in Math.

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 Mudgeeraba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's College.
