Help them feel accomplished, proud of themselves and overcome their difficulties by finally learning/understanding a concept or skill. Help them feel better about themselves and hopefully convince them that a bad grade does not define them. Restoring their faith/belief on themselves and maybe even start enjoying a topic they used to dislike or…

I believe that as a tutor, I can make learning more enjoyable for students while also making them feel more comfortable and secure in asking questions without fear of appearing dumb. As a tutor, I would be a confidence booster for my students and also help them strengthen other abilities that will enable them to learn better. My strengths as a…

Most students want to get through the next exam, but I also consider it important that knowledge and skills are reinforced and retained for years, if not for life. Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked…

For my students I know I can provide them with my patient and reliable nature.

Regarding my reliability, I pride myself on knowing that people around me can always ask for help…

Help them to actually learn the subject matter, and to help them want to learn. Having someone genuinely willing to spend time and effort to help you learn something is valuable when you're struggling, so if a tutor can do that for a student, wonderful things could happen. Reframing a concept in way that is more understandable, patience, and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student take an active role in their learning. Rather than simply dictate the steps to take, a tutor needs to ensure the student participates in each aspect of their learning, whether it be through examples or solving problems. A tutor also needs to be well informed on the content a…

A tutor should treat every students equally. Motivate slow learners and help them improve their learning.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

The most important thing a tutor can give to his/her student is confidence. The confidence to know that whatever the problem is. There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own. Eventually the student does not need the tutor as a crutch if the…

A tutor can provide personalised teaching to students that would not be available in a big classroom environment. A tutor also provides a safe space for students free of judgement where they can ask questions they might not get the chance to ask in class. Tutors also relate to the students and instill a level of confidence that truly improves…

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

Darren is very patient and kindly spoken and Julia is really enjoying her tutoring experience with him.

Melissa was wonderful & we look forward to seeing her again in a fortnight. She was so patient, encouraging, gentle & knowledgeable. Grace felt so special & clever afterwards she can't want to see her again.

We think Ingrid is fantastic.  She and Elizabeth have a wonderful rapport and we can already see improvements in Elizabeth's work.

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.
