I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them develop confidence in themselves and assisting them in unlocking their full learning potential. I am very patient and willing to take things at what ever pace is required for the child to reach their learning potential. I enjoy working with children and I am a keen learner…

When tutoring, it is very important to be patient and understanding. Students may struggle when learning a new concept, and it is imperative that one can sit down with the student and teach the theory step by step in order to ensure that they have a good foundation of understanding. Being flexible is also vital as during high stress times changing…

I believe one of the most important aspects is empathy. Empathy not only in giving them true confidence that they can achieve more than what they believe is at their threshold of intelligence, but empathy in understanding what foundational concepts or struggles may need to be covered. Simplifying complex concepts not in a mundane way but one that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand that there is no unteachable student. Everyone learns in a different way and by realising that, it is a tutors responsibility to find the way each individual student learns best and to never give up on finding new and inventive ways to teach. As a tutor, I always bring a…

Often in school, teachers teach a subject in only one way rather than catering for each individual in the class, which can often make students feel 'dumb' or hate the subject.

Adapt to their skill level and provide personalized teaching that they don't receive at school.

I am very patient and…

The first and most obvious role of a tutor is to explain concepts and teach a student. They can guide the student and show them the path. However, it is ultimately up to the student to complete their own studies. I feel that another major role of a tutor is also to act as a mentor. In current times, a tutor may interact frequently with a student…

Local Reviews

Excellent and responsive customer advice. The tutor we've been matched with is wonderful.
Kathryn Lamond, Queenscliff

Inside QueenscliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Toren practised multiplication with more than two digits using lattice multiplication and worked independently on one-digit multiplication with carrying.

Year 6 student Morgan focused on correcting decimal worksheets for improved accuracy and then moved to advanced multiplication, applying lattice methods to problems involving larger numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Charlie completed NAPLAN maths practice sheets, reviewing skills in number sense and basic operations as part of homework support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student repeatedly mixed up addition and subtraction when working independently, especially during homework involving borrowing—"her homework shows that she confuses addition and subtraction during independent work."

In upper primary maths, another struggled to systematically show all steps in long division and fraction simplification; she often relied on intuition but missed key algorithmic steps, making errors harder to find.

At the high school level, one Year 10 student skimmed through exam questions too quickly without fully extracting what was being asked—this led to misinterpreting multi-step problems in algebra and losing marks despite knowing the concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Queenscliff tutor noted a big shift with a Year 8 student who used to rush through fraction questions and miss key steps; now, after patient practice, she's pausing to check her work and caught her own error on an equivalent fractions problem before moving on.

A Year 10 student has started asking for clarification in algebra sessions instead of staying quiet when confused—a real change from his earlier reluctance to engage. Started asking for clarification is a meaningful step forward in his confidence and participation.

In Year 5 maths, one student initially found lattice multiplication overwhelming but is now working independently through each step and completed her latest worksheet without any help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

What a lovely, patient and kind person Alfred is. He got straight into the maths and hit it off with Kent immediately.

I have been meaning to email but time got away. Hazel is loving Rabiba! She's just perfect for her. In fact when we discussed extending the time to two hours in a week or so Hazel agreed instantly. I was in shock. We are all very happy with her so far. She's very reliable and polite.

Carol has been great with Sarah and as you said it takes a few months to start seeing an impact., but Sarah understands her and relates well to Carol.

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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris College.
