A tutor most importantly needs to understand the areas that the students need improvement. Considering their ability to grasp new concepts and learning styles, a tutor will have to design their teaching methods to suit a particular student. Lastly, a tutor should always encourage their students which will help them gain the confidence to try new…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school.

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Many parents come to me because they…

The most valuable thing you can provide a student is a high level intuitive understanding of a topic.

Because of my higher study in physics and engineering, I am able to explain where topics fit…

Local Reviews

Mayank has been a great tutor and has given me great confidence in my own abilities. He has been patient with me and clearly explained concepts that I had either forgotten or previously struggled with. I'm more than happy to give a positive review to Mayank for his help. If at any time I feel like I'm struggling or need help, I wouldn't hesitate to get back in touch and ask for Mayank personally. Thanks to his tutoring, I feel like I have a good foundation going into the prep course, which makes me feel really positive about taking the next step.

Inside TaringaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lucy focused on surface area calculations and worked through practice questions involving measurement units.

In Year 8, Ethan revised linear equations—particularly sign operations—and then tackled graphing equations by identifying slopes and intercepts.

For Year 10, Hannah concentrated on solving problems related to simple and compound interest, along with applying recurrence relation models to financial scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, especially when tasks involved applying rules for negative numbers; as one tutor observed, "he knows how to solve the equations, just lacks the confidence in doing so."

In Year 11 mathematics, another student avoided revising unfamiliar surface area questions and stuck to only the types they found easiest.

For a Year 8 English task, a student often made grammar mistakes but hesitated to plan out their writing, leading to rushed paragraphs with missing punctuation.

In each case, key opportunities for feedback or mastery were missed because avoidance or low confidence got in the way.

Recent Achievements

One Taringa tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through maths problems without reading carefully is now taking time to read each question properly, leading to fewer careless errors.

In a recent high school session, a Year 10 student who previously waited for hints managed to solve multiple linear equation problems independently after reviewing past lessons—she only asked for help on trickier steps.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student who once hesitated during group exercises was eager to try an unfamiliar challenge and completed all ten practice questions out loud with minimal prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to say that at this stage things are going very well, Gabriela is very confident and he has cleared up a lot of questions for her. She is very happy.

Very happy with Jason's tutelage.  Anna understands him and they work well together. Thanks for the connection!

Holly enjoyed her lessons with Jennifer as she was VERY patient and simplified the tasks, so that Holly could gain a better concept of the task at hand.

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 Indooroopilly Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology.
