To help them understand the concept of what they are learning. Rather than just achieving high results, helping them understand the concepts of what they are learning will aid with advancing onto more difficult studies in the future. My strengths as a tutor would be being able to explain concepts to the student at a level they can understand and…

The most inmportant thing is to set un students with the ability to critically thing and take time to fully grasp topics. There is no point in becoming only slightly knowledgable in a topic but rather have a deep understanding. I think my passion for these subjects has led me to become more understanding of the difficulties that students face and…

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think a tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught how to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them. Usually in a classroom, due to the overwhelming number of students, teachers aren't always able to help students individually. Therefore, sometimes a student that is struggling is only struggling because they learn better with a…

Due to Nakita's tutor doing an amazing job last year, Nakita has not needed his skills for the beginning of this year, comprehending and understanding the maths content at school extremely well.
allison, Petrie

Inside PetrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Poppy explored scale factors and calculated the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms using visual examples.

In Year 10, Tasha practised finding the surface area of various shapes and reviewed exam topics with a focus on applying formulas accurately.

For Year 11, Ella worked through her in-class maths assignment, clarifying key steps for each question and addressing areas she found confusing to boost her understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often rushed through differentiation and trigonometry, leading to small mistakes between dollar and cent coins as noted by the tutor.

In Year 7, one student left most worded maths problems blank on a worksheet, hesitating to attempt unless completely sure—a pattern that carried into test revision.

For a Year 9 assignment, another relied on "guessing equations to see if it works," instead of building methodical strategies or using class notes for guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, several students avoided writing their working out, which hid small errors and made it hard to spot where understanding broke down during subtraction or time calculations.

Recent Achievements

One Petrie tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Kiana, arrived with a list of tricky maths questions she'd struggled with in class—by the end of their session, she worked through every one independently and even finished early.

In another session, Clancey (Year 9) started unsure about rearranging equations but, after some guided practice, was able to solve them on his own without needing help.

Meanwhile, Tamia in Year 4 tackled her reading comprehension story solo and answered almost all follow-up questions correctly, remembering key details and going back to check when unsure.

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 North Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kurwongbah State School.
