Understand their mind , the problems they are facing and try to sort them in the simplest way possible :) The other important thing is to have a friendly bond with student, so that they can ask questions without hesitation. Understanding a student's need as each student is different , so I opt for different tutoring techniques suitable for a…

Be calm and smiley with student. A tutor under any circumstances shouldn't criticize the student instead be positive to him. Give them challenging task to overcome their weaker areas. Be imaginative with student. Always listen to student very calmly and behave more like a friend. Most importantly never ever a tutor should laugh and scold his…

Be empathetic and help them through a method they are most comfortable with, even if it can be time consuming. As I have recently graduated highschool, the information is still fresh in my mind. I have been through what most students are currently going through (stress and difficulties) thus it will be easier for me to guide them through their…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

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…

I believe in preparing a student to handle situation which the world throws at any point of time. A child should be prepared for every situation and should develop organizational, time management skills. As a tutor, I work at these skills as much as at the curriculum to create confident, independent learners. I believe my greatest strength is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be committed to them and to learn the way in which the student understands concepts. By doing this, a tutor can teach the students in a way that ensure the best possibility for success and growth. For me, tutoring is 100% about the student's growth, and as such, fully understanding the…

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.
