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 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…

As far as my understanding, as a tutor, he/she always needs to motivate their students to think more widely and creatively. It is true, initially, they will fail several times. Allowing them to do it, will build their confidence for their future, which will be eventually worth it for their life. As a tutor, I am always friendly, patiently try to…

So far I have found several factors that make for good tutors. Firstly building a strong and personal relationship with the student is very important as the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor can add essential ingredients for students to learn and grow. Secondly, communication and collaboration with the student,…

After that, I think it’s about helping them…

Ava seemed to enjoy her class with Travis. Travis is a lovely young man
Leanne, Brisbane

Inside Petrie TerraceTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Olivia focused on converting fractions and percentages, as well as reinforcing her understanding of improper fractions using visual aids.

In Year 9, Ethan worked through algebra worded problems and practiced expanding and simplifying linear equations to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ava concentrated on mastering the derivatives of exponential functions and applying these techniques to related optimisation questions, reviewing step-by-step differentiation strategies throughout the session.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student showed progress in worded maths problems but often avoided revisiting difficult textbook questions between lessons—"he admitted he has not been practising what we've been going through," the tutor noted after a topic test.

A Year 10 student, while understanding new concepts during sessions, struggled to recall key steps the following week due to limited consolidation outside class; this led to re-covering old material instead of advancing.

In senior years, incomplete homework and minimal independent practice meant recurring calculation errors persisted across assignments, even when students could recognise these mistakes after feedback was given.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Petrie Terrace recently noticed some genuine steps forward across a few students. One Year 11 student, who used to quietly skip over difficult calculus problems, now asks for clarification and talks through his reasoning—he even took the lead on breaking down a tricky chain rule question last session.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student has shifted from second-guessing her answers to confidently judging if solutions "look right," often explaining out loud why she trusts her method.

In primary sessions, one younger learner who once hesitated with worded maths problems successfully read all the key terms aloud before working through each step herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Diana is terrific.  She's on time, very patient and Declan feels he is now understanding the basic concepts.  It will take time but Diana will get there with Dec

At this stage we are very happy. Nick likes Tharaka and his overall attitude to maths has changed. He is quite happy to give things a go. His confidence is building.

Suparna is lovely and very patient and Sitota is very happy with her. I think it will take a good few months before we see any progress with Sitota considering her learning difficulties. All positive and we are moving forward though

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 Brisbane Grammar School.
