Not only is helping kids with their work, the most important thing but also to help motivate themselves and become independent learners. Patience and empathy. Studying is not…

Psychology Tutor South Brisbane, QLD
A tutor should be patient and should be able to accomodate oneself with the students. The main aim of the tutor should be to suit to the needs of the child. I am extremely patient with students and I can listen to all that they have to offer. I can deal with kids since I have a younger brother. My biggest strength is that I wouldn't hesitate to…

As aforementioned, I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them to boost their self-confidence by improving their self-efficacy skills :) As a tutor, I think my biggest strength is the ability to give thorough constructive criticism, whilst still being kind and respectful. Furthermore, I am good at explaining…

Educators play an important role in how students minds are shaped and how they approach problems in their studies. Believing in students that they can achieve their goal is one of the most important aspects of teaching them so it encourages them to strive towards their goal rather than realise they aren't capable enough. Watching them set out a…

Baden is an excellent tutor, and he did great work.

Inside TarragindiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions, and solved chance questions using probability expressed as fractions.

Year 9 student Chloe worked through algebraic skills including expanding brackets and factorising quadratic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ben focused on the quadratic equation alongside techniques for solving linear equations and manipulating algebraic terms.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on polynomials needs improvement checking back over her work to ensure she doesn't make simple mistakes—overlooking this step led to avoidable errors persisting through solutions.

In Year 9 algebra, one student hesitated to trust their own working, repeatedly questioning themselves and slowing progress; as the tutor noted, he doubted himself constantly which doesn't allow him to reach his full potential.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student's maths written work was sometimes unclear because numbers were placed in the wrong columns during multiplication—this made it harder for both student and tutor to spot where confusion began.

Recent Achievements

One Tarragindi tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from frequent mistakes in expanding algebraic brackets to completing every question correctly and without hesitation.

Another high schooler who previously struggled to structure persuasive writing now drafts PESTO paragraphs independently, remembering all parts without reminders.

In primary sessions, a younger student who once guessed during oral reading now pauses to sound out difficult words, showing more care and accuracy with each line.

The same student finished his latest story plan entirely on his own—something he'd never attempted before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Rueben has been a great fit for Gabrielle. He is an excellent tutor and goes through the steps for the maths problems. Gabrielle feels he explains things so she can understand. Rueben is very easy to talk to and he communicates with us. He is also up with the curriculum.

The tutor (Grace) was excellent and I would highly recommend her to any client.

We are super happy with Kaia. Ella has been chosen in the top maths group for 2019/20! Her maths has improved out of sight! Ella is looking forward to working with Kaia in the new year.

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 Annerley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wellers Hill State School.
