Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

Very happy and hope Chelsea can pick up oquickly on the help that Jane has been giving her.

Inside StrathpineTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Savannah practiced rounding numbers to estimate answers and worked on converting between metric units while solving measurement problems.

In Year 8, Ruby focused on factorising algebraic expressions and tackled worded ratio and rates questions to prepare for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Oliver reviewed linear equations by rearranging variables and translating tables into rules, using graphs to visually represent relationships.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Methods repeatedly hesitated when using logarithmic laws, often second-guessing which rule to apply; as one tutor put it, "she overthinks and loses confidence partway through each question," leading to incomplete working.

In Year 7, another student struggled to pick out the key details from multi-step worded math problems, sometimes diving in without fully reading the question—this meant steps were skipped or misunderstood.

For a Year 3 learner, written working was minimal on subtraction tasks involving borrowing, so errors weren't spotted until reviewing answers together. Each instance made progress slower and less certain.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Strathpine noticed a Year 12 student who previously mixed up logarithmic laws is now confidently selecting and applying the right rule for each problem, especially with more complex questions.

Another high school win: a Year 10 student who used to skip steps when solving percentage problems has started self-correcting her errors mid-question and showing all working clearly—she even distinguished between discounts and final prices without prompting.

Meanwhile, one of our Year 4 learners who struggled with rounding numbers can now round to the nearest ten independently and even tackled rounding to the nearest hundred on her own last session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes we are very happy with Georgia and Catrina seems to be enjoying maths again. I have also recommended Georgia to another parent at my daughters school

Agnes quickly determined the areas that we could see Charlotte was struggling with. It was lovely to see Charlotte's body language change during the course of the first session from slumped over looking disinterested to sitting up and engaging with Agnes by the end of the hour. I had never seen her like that when we have sat down to do maths before. I knew that I lacked the strategies to give to Charlotte and Agnes is certainly showing her these patiently and with the support she needed.

Yes very happy with Phoebe she is a wonderful tutor & very pleasant towards my girls  they feel at ease with her as she explains all maths concepts in the simplest of forms (much to the delight. of my daughter Phoebe who said she's learned/understood a lot more in the last three weeks than she had learned all of last year) &  she's building up their confidence to have a more positive outlook when approaching their maths homework!

Biology tutoring in Strathpine

For most students, biology doesn't seem that hard. The content isn't that intimidating and if you put in the time, more often than not results will follow.

 

Biology Tutor Strathpine

No wonder most students get discouraged once they move up the curriculum. Getting the results becomes less about putting in the hours by going over the concepts and more about structuring the knowledge and connecting the dots. It's not simple revision anymore, and without someone to guide them, students can easily lose focus.
 
If you are thinking about finding someone to support your child's learning, we can match you with a local biology tutor in Strathpine.
 
We've found that through guided learning, students are more likely to pick up skills they can use to learn other subjects and even make good decisions in their personal life as well. All we need is to have a chat with you so we can figure out what kind of support your child needs. 
 
And this is how it works. 
 
The tutoring is done at your home or a local library, wherever works for you. And the fees are simple - just an hourly rate, no extra fees.
 
The first lesson comes as a risk-free trial with a money-back guarantee. That means if for whatever reason your child doesn't click with the tutor right away, no need to worry - you let us know and we set up another trial.
 
As simple as that.

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 Strathpine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The BUSY School - Strathpine Campus.
