The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them recognise the improvements and progress they are making. From a psychological perspective intrinsic motivation is important but extrinsic validation is equally so in a learning environment. When small improvements are pointed out and celebrated it is not only a mindset shift but…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is first get comfortable with the student, this will allow the student to be able to freely ask any questions that they may have to the tutor. Secondly, a tutor should be patient with the student as there is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher. If the teacher has patience with…

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…

The most important thing about being a tutor is definitely creating output for the student as effectively and efficiently as possible. However, this cannot be done in a way where the student feels obliged to come to your sessions to study. They must enjoy the environment so that they are doing this happily and to their own accord. I am persistent,…

Help them learn the way they learn best. Education is extremely important, and often students that seek tuition are having troubles with the work, which is often caused by the teacher not teaching them in the way that they learn best.

Monique is a quiet tutor that suited my daughter. Monique took the time to build a relationship with my daughter building her confidence to ask questions she did not understand with her year 4 maths. Now Monique can see where Tayha needs support she has set tasks for her in these areas. I am very happy with the tutoring provided and can recommend Monique to other parents looking at tutoring for their child. Lyndel

Inside Slacks CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Mia worked on distinguishing rational and irrational numbers and practiced converting percentages, using visual aids to support understanding.

Year 11 student Jack focused on managing money by completing a tax return and revised for an exam covering time and motion problems.

Another Year 11 student, Sarah, tackled problem-solving with graphs for her PSMT assessment in Essential Mathematics and reviewed key skills in representing data visually.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student often forgot which formulas to use and hesitated to attempt questions without reassurance, as described: "she always looks up at me for confirmation before working independently." This self-doubt slowed her progress and left methods unfinished.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student's exam revision showed an over-reliance on notes—he referred constantly to his cheat sheet rather than recalling processes from memory.

In a Year 7 English report task, another struggled with structuring paragraphs and fixing grammar; messy drafts made feedback hard to apply.

Confidence gaps and lack of practice in core routines repeatedly led to incomplete work or missed opportunities for improvement.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Slacks Creek recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to leave assignments until the last minute now actively worked through each section of his assessment ahead of the deadline, asking for guidance only when stuck instead of waiting passively.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student who'd previously been hesitant about seeking help started openly requesting clarification on tax calculations during Managing Money lessons and confidently solved each step independently by the end.

In Year 5, one student who often rushed through maths tasks slowed down to check her answers and even requested extra practice questions at the lesson's close.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I had one tutoring session with Tom and he was fantastic. Very easy to talk to and had clearly prepared before coming to see me. The exam that I needed his help to prepare for is this Thursday so I no longer need his services. I have told Tom I will let him know how I went after the exam on Thursday.

We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job. Thank you!

Grace is really enjoying the sessions with James and the support has given her confidence. He is an excellent tutor.

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 Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mabel Park State High School.
