The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject. Mathematics is a tough subject and it is important tutors take the right approach when they teach that subject. I am a huge believer in teachers being friends with their students. My biggest strength is that I get along with students and try…

If a student is confident in their ability to learn and comprehend information, they feel that they have options and their anxiety toward their educational career completely changes. I am compassionate and patient. I love simplifying information for students and giving them a higher confidence both in themselves and their ability to…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot…

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

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.…

Believing in the student and knowing them well is extremely valuable.

It is also important for tutors to know the content and be…

Helping the student not only improve their studies, but learn how to better study and learn independently when at home/in school. It's one thing to be working in a short tutoring session, and another to continue the work in ones own time.

Inside TaigumTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily focused on constructing and interpreting frequency tables and histograms for data representation, as well as exploring how to write mathematically when working through her assignment.

Year 9 student Georgia tackled creative writing tasks and prepared for Shakespeare assessments, alongside reviewing key techniques relevant to her English curriculum.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sasha worked through inequalities and quadratic expressions by expanding and factorising, taking time to review previous content before an upcoming English exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student was hesitant to ask clarifying questions on assignments and left sections incomplete, resulting in missed opportunities for targeted feedback—"she had all the discussion points but didn't start early enough to ask about what she didn't understand."

A Year 8 student struggled with unit conversions in area problems, relying heavily on notes rather than internalising processes; this slowed progress during unfamiliar exam questions.

In Year 5, unfinished homework meant times tables weren't retained between lessons, so multiplication fluency lagged behind.

For a Year 3 learner, messy written working made it difficult to trace calculation errors or revisit problem steps.

Recent Achievements

One Taigum tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously doubted her answers now confidently finishing timed maths tests without hesitation.

Another high schooler, Oscar, has shown a real shift by openly identifying which algebra topics he struggles with—he used to keep quiet but now initiates these discussions himself, helping his tutor target lessons more effectively.

In primary, Sasha has started using counting techniques for times tables; she was able to complete an 11-question multiplication test perfectly after weeks of struggling with recall.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

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!!!

Sounds like Alex is doing a great job.  I've spoken to Quyen and she is very happy with the tutoring sessions.

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 Bracken Ridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Taigum State School.
