Software Dev Tutor Murrumba Downs, QLD
Number one thing I believe a tutor should do is to show how incredible studying, or should I say learning is, so that they develop a mindset to continuously learn new things for the rest of their lives. I'm very proficient in maths, and was hoping to spread my knowledge to current students of all math…

Software Dev Tutor Brighton, QLD
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…

Software Dev Tutor Carseldine, QLD
I think the most important thing for a tutor is to be able to clarify the concepts and ensure that the students are able to built upon these concepts and become proficient. The tutor should be able to take students' understanding to the point where they should be able to understand and solve the problems by themselves. In terms of strengths, I am…

Software Dev Tutor Eatons Hill, QLD
If the tutor can give the student space to figure out the solutions to their problems and only step in once the student shows signs of struggling it is more beneficial for the student as this method will allow the student to learn to solve problems on their own. I am able to adapt my approach to teaching concepts for each student, meaning that I…

The most important thing for a tutor is to make a difficult concept, interesting and easy to understand for a student so that they learn to apply and practice out of interest. My biggest strength is that I won't just focus on teaching a concept, but to make it interesting and palatable for…

Local Reviews

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Wanted to take this opportunity to say how great Jeremy is! My daughter was incredibly nervous about having a male tutor but after the first session and moving forward, she feels completely comfortable, at ease and really enjoys her tutoring sessions with Jeremy. He has a very positive attitude and is very kind and encouraging towards Maycee's learning journey and for that we thank you all.... especially Jeremy!

Jay-T really liked Kerry and in the one session, saw real value in getting his help

We're very pleased with Rhowdry so far. Madeline is building a great rapport with her and they seem to work well together. I know it will take some time but so far so good.

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.
