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…

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…

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…

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…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't.

One of the most important things a tutor can bring is a sense of understanding with the student. To really understand how the student thinks, learns and processes information. This the main tool when teaching a student, giving the students proper motivation and tools to tackle any problems they might face along the way. i Have a Dyslexia brother…

Thanks for your great support and help, you are doing very good tutoring.

Inside ShorncliffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella worked on mental maths and algebraic thinking, focusing on developing confidence with number patterns.

Year 11 Katie explored the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical waves and investigated real-world applications of wave amplitude using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Daniel tackled advanced physics concepts, including Faraday's and Lenz's laws as well as conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction, with time spent practicing relevant formulae for assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Physics, one student relied heavily on the formula sheet but struggled to identify which equation matched the question, slowing their problem-solving. As noted: "Needs to check fundamentals of physics understanding eg. gravity."

In a Year 12 assessment, submitting only a partial draft limited feedback opportunities and left analysis unfinished.

A Year 8 Maths learner avoided writing out full working, which led to repeated decimal placement errors in multiplication—when prompted to show steps, they could pinpoint mistakes themselves.

Meanwhile, another student's concentration drifted after an exam day, leaving questions half-completed and feedback unaddressed for later sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shorncliffe noticed that one high school student, who used to hesitate and guess when stuck, now actively asks clarifying questions and uses logical reasoning to work out solutions—something she hadn't done before.

Another secondary student made a clear shift by preparing specific questions before sessions and using her formula sheet independently during revision, showing new initiative with exam strategies.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously mixed up equivalent fractions confidently explained why 50/100 equals 1/2 during their session, then completed all ten fraction problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sarah is finding the tutoring with Shabana very helpful. Sarah has has three tutoring sessions and Shabana has been explaining concepts or questions which Sarah found confusing. I really like the way Shabana interacts with Sarah and how she keeps reminding her about the importance of practising.

I am very pleased to provide feedback. Matthew has been outstanding, polite, punctual and an excellent tutor. He is an asset to your business and please pass on our commendation.

We have had a few lessons with Deanna and She seems to be very enthusiastic and keen to teach Catherine.

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 Sandgate Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's College.
