The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing. Spoon feeding a student will only help temporarily and is very harmful. I believe my strengths are that i dont like to teach every child the same way. Each…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and prompt critical thinking. It is hard to know what is best for a student unless you are constantly listening to them and understanding their reasoning. Get the student to understand why they came to that conclusion, and present new ideas to them to expand their thinking or…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

For me, a tutor isn't a person that helps a student achieve a high grade or even a grade that a student wants - although that is one characteristic of the job. For the most part, a tutor is someone who sharpens the pencil that the teacher has given the student, and shows them how to write properly. They erase the mistakes the student makes, and…

Inside Springfield LakesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Lochlann focused on the sine rule for solving non-right-angled triangles and explored applications of Lincoln's index and Simpson's diversity index in Biology.

Year 10 Sofia worked on simplifying ratios and discussed her preferred learning approaches to tailor future sessions.

For Year 8 Arjun, the lesson addressed algebraic operations with fractions and surds, while identifying gaps in foundational algebra that impact understanding of exponential graphs and circle equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, over-reliance on calculators for simple arithmetic was noted: "I've suggested she rely less on the calculator for simple operations and exercise her mental arithmetic." This slowed progress in exam-style trigonometry and matrices tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled to break down multi-step algebra problems, leading to stress and unfinished questions—especially when translating word problems into equations.

In Year 4 English, one student repeatedly asked if answers were correct before writing them down, which delayed independent practice and undermined confidence during spelling exercises. When answers changed between verbal and written formats, confusion persisted.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Springfield Lakes noticed Iris is now calmly tackling multi-step calculus problems after previously getting flustered and losing focus—she recently completed all her chosen exam questions with only minor hiccups.

In Year 9 maths, Hannah moved from confusion about bearings and navigation to independently solving complex sine rule questions by the end of her session.

Meanwhile, Caleb in primary school surprised his tutor by reading a new passage aloud without fidgeting or zoning out, then answering every comprehension question correctly and pronouncing newly learned words accurately.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

All is progressing fine at present and we are happy with Raymond's tutoring.  Patrick has warmed to him also and we see him asking a lot more questions than he would ask normally.

We are very happy with Phanidah, he is very nice and patient and seems to teach Emily effectively. Emily likes him and already seems to have a more positive outlook with her maths. We are happy overall that the one-on-one tutoring allows Emily to relax about 'not knowing it'Âť so she can truly go back to basics with Phanidah and build slowly from there.

Ashleigh is really enjoying the help Sunny is giving her & is starting to feel more confident within herself. Apparently even her teacher has remarked on her improvement. Ashleigh is keen to continue tutoring for the rest of the year. Sunny is a great tutor & matched perfectly with Ashleigh.

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 Redbank Plains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Springfield Lakes State School.
