I believe the biggest thing a tutor can do is show the student how to study, meaning how to break down concepts and how to analyze. That way you will always have the tools should you decide to learn something later on in life. I believe I am very patient and take my time to explain things to students. I also like for them to take their time to…

I think there is more than just schooling that is important in a tutor/student relationship. Each student is unique and has their own way of visualising and understanding. For me to become a successful tutor I always do my best to understand the student. This correlates to personal life too and making sure their well-being is sound. From the…

Local Reviews

This was very easy to set up for my child. I spoke on the phone will a very friendly and helpful consultant who was able to make a plan based on my childs needs. Our tutor is friendly and well suited to my child. My childs confidence has been restored and we have seen improvements in understanding and ability in just one month. I would highly recommend this service.

Inside Shailer ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Xavier worked on factorisation and index laws, including practice with substitution in algebraic expressions.

Year 10 student Lachlan focused on Pythagoras' theorem for both short and long sides, and also explored congruent and similar triangles through diagram-based problems.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Sienna revised multiplication tables up to x9, tackled place value activities, and practised identifying angles and shapes using naming exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's algebra work was correct but often missing clear, labelled steps—"he's very good at solving questions but we're working on making sure he shows all the steps," a tutor noted. This made it harder to spot and fix small errors during review.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 probability tasks, another learner struggled to refer back to collected data when answering questions, leading to vague conclusions instead of evidence-based answers.

A Year 4 student left homework incomplete and only managed half the lesson due to fatigue, leaving gaps in multiplication skills that slowed progress on new content.

Recent Achievements

One Shailer Park tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now solves equations independently, carefully showing all working without prompting.

A Year 8 student recently shifted from guessing on congruency problems to confidently identifying the correct type and explaining her reasoning out loud.

In primary sessions, a Year 4 learner—who once felt anxious about times tables—tackled a class quiz after extra practice at home and got noticeably more answers right, then asked for harder questions next.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes l'm happy at the moment and Sebastian seems to like Kate. She comes and gets straight into it then finishes off with a brief summary of what they have been doing. Which is great. At the moment Sebastian has only had three sessions, so still too early to tell. However there was a day at school when they did some Maths and he said he found it much easier, which is fantastic to hear.

So far so good.  Zachary and Gabriella seem to have a good rapport and I have noticed that Zac is working more confidently.  It's early days though, so time will tell when his grades start coming through. Gabriella is a lovely young lady and we are happy having her as a tutor.

We have been very happy with Lawrence.  He has been patient and on time every time.

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 Logan Hyperdome Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The BUSY School - Shailer Park Campus.
