A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for.

Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my…

I feel it is a priority of the tutor to pass on their passion for learning and knowledge to their students. Once this has been accomplished, however long it takes, teaching content and having the student learn it quickly and confidently is simple. Equally important is for the student to feel safe and respected around the tutor. If they do not…

One-on-one tutors get to provide a learning experience different to the one offered in the classroom because it is a more individual form of teaching where the tutor can sync in with the pace of the student and address the student's own problems. It is important for tutors to be able to identify these weak areas or gaps in their students knowledge…

Local Reviews

Afolabi is an excellent tutor and a really polite young man. He is really helping Havana to understand what she is learning in class, turning the lightbulb on for her. Havana enjoys his company and how he works with her and she is really happy, as am I. We look forward to continuing with him.
Elisha, Thorneside

Inside ThornesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Sarah explored multiplication by creating arrays to model equal groups and practiced interpreting bar graphs from real data.

Year 9 student Josh focused on solving quadratic equations and analyzed exponential functions alongside their graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily reviewed arithmetic and geometric sequences using visual patterns and worked through time series problems involving seasonal trends with simple diagrams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 2 Maths, "Lucas sometimes draws an extra circle or misses one because he is really fast," highlighting that rushing through visual models led to overlooked errors in regrouping ones and tens.

When working on coin addition and subtraction, Lucas relied on counting with his fingers; as a tutor noted, "we were able to start different strategies instead of using our fingers," but he still hesitated when numbers appeared in new formats.

In Year 3 English, Cooper struggled to write questions from statements and mixed up letters like 'a' and 'b,' which made written work hard to follow and slowed progress in spelling practice.

Recent Achievements

A Thorneside tutor recently saw real breakthroughs across different year levels.

In Year 11 maths, Ruby moved from confusion to confidently applying the seasonal index formula to real-world trend problems on her own.

Another high school win: Isaac, who'd previously hesitated with exponential functions, was able to graph them and accurately predict their behavior without prompting.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, Lucas—who used to struggle with regrouping—now completes multi-digit addition and subtraction exercises independently and even finishes his homework solo. Last week, he chose the number line method for multiplication without needing a reminder.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jaz and Emily seem to be connecting well and we are happy with how things are progressing to date.

John has been an amazing tutor for my son. John restored my son's confidence in his ability to do maths and prepared him for Year 12 exams.I cannot recommend his work highly enough, as he did everything we asked of him and more.

Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!

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 Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South East Brisbane Steiner School.
