The most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is be there as a support, guide and motivator. Ideally, a tutor should be able to model and share learning experiences that are genuine and authentic to the student. I am personable and try to ensure all my learning experiences can be applied to the real world. I am patient and considerate…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. I believe listening is very important since if you don't listen to your student, or get them to explain concepts for themselves, you won't be able to deduce which areas to focus on. One of my weaknesses as a tutor would have to be that if my student is having difficulty,…

Helping students understand that they are capable of overcoming their difficulties with the subject. Helping them to identify what they need to improve in order to perform better. Teaching them that their efforts are worth it and that they can achieve their goals if they work hard. Many students give up before trying, so I think this is the first…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to inspire and encourage them to take charge in their learning and step outside their comfortable zones to learn new things and expand their horizons. This encourages students to become independent lifelong learners and creates a positive attitude towards learning. My strengths as a tutor…

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. The ability to help a student not only understand, but love…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there to support them in their wins and losses. They need to be available to answer their questions, no matter how silly. My strengths lie in my method of explaining things. Even though its a very minor thing, I've found in my own teachers that even if they are the best in the world, if they…

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.

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.
