The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is that a tutor must be well aware of what he/she is teaching and must be an expert on it. Without this it's a waste of both a student's and teacher's time and money. For this I personally need to get prepared by learning teaching materials and technics at home before I start a lesson.

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.

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.
