The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them. Usually in a classroom, due to the overwhelming number of students, teachers aren't always able to help students individually. Therefore, sometimes a student that is struggling is only struggling because they learn better with a…

The most important thing a tutor can do is give the student more confidence in themselves and their learning. There is only so much you can teach someone if they give up on themselves, so the most important thing is ensuring that confidence. I also believe that it's important to have good communication so that the student feels that they can ask…

While I was a peer tutor, I…

To me, one of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give the student confidence. When a student gains confidence that they can do it, they will be more willing to put effort and also do better in their examinations.

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic.

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session. However, I also consider it useful that tutors help develop new study habits and introduce new ways to learn whilst tutoring in a way that the student…

Tutors should be able to convey information in a way that not only makes sense, but engages the student. A tutor should be as eager about the subject they are teaching as they are knowledgeable of the topic, and should strive to convey this excitement and passion through their teaching.

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

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 pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

Michael has really enjoyed having Raj come as his tutor.  In fact he also managed to get 80% on his last algebra test at school.  It has really empowered him to want to do well in maths and he looks forward to his tutoring session each week. We look forward to seeing him continue on his maths journey throughout the year. Many thanks Ps. I have referred a few of my friends onto your website as their kids were having difficulty too!!!

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.
