Being a mentor, not just as an academic tutor, but being able to easily understand and empathise with the different situations a student may be in, and ways to overcome the hardships they may face both academically and personally. Tutors should also be able to explain and answer questions about anything within a subject and be able to provide…

Taking the time to understand the student on an individual level, and adapting to each student to help connect with them, and help them understand their studies to the best of their ability. A tutor has the ability to do what teachers often times can't do in a classroom setting - and that's to help the individual student. I am a screenwriter and…

It is highly important for a tutor to listen and more specifically identify gaps and concerns that a student is having in a particular area. I believe that my strengths are that I have developed strong communication skills over the course of my employment and my university studies. I studied Board English at highschool and maintained high grades…

To make sure they understand a concept fully, and why it makes sense, especially in maths and science. This helps to give the student confidence in that type of question so they are able to replicate it on an exam. In assignments helping a student to meet all elements of the marking guide by giving examples without doing it for them. Having just…

I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side. Aside from paying attention to the student's attention span, more importantly, a tutor should be prepared on going about different routes to ensure understanding of course content and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt. My principle strength as a tutor would be my understanding of how mathematical concepts work, which helps me to explain them. I do this often with my colleagues during…

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student motivation to learn and ultimately excel academically. In a more practical sense, a tutor's ability to explain concepts and ideas that broaden the student's perspective and understanding of a certain topic is another essential influence a tutor can have on a…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to boost their self-confidence. Learning, like everything else, is dependent on one's perception of one's abilities. Students who are confident in their abilities are more likely to be motivated than students who think they will never succeed. I think my strength as a tutor would be…

Inside Upper Mount GravattTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Shani focused on probability and data analysis, including interpreting simple statistics and practicing basic probability scenarios.

In Year 10, Lara worked through the discriminant in quadratic equations and reviewed linear equations, reinforcing her algebra skills with targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Savio tackled arithmetic and geometric sequences by building recurrence models from information given and practiced rearranging algebraic equations using a step-by-step approach.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, incomplete homework became a pattern—one student "didn't finish the homework I gave," making it harder to build confidence with algebraic conversions.

In Year 10, a student shared she "finds it difficult to motivate herself to study for exams and usually procrastinates until the last minute," which left her rushed during practice sessions and less able to handle time pressure.

A Year 11 student relied on mental calculations in equations, skipping written steps; as noted, "it's better to write down the working steps out than doing mental maths." This made tracing errors nearly impossible under exam conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Upper Mount Gravatt noticed that a Year 10 student, who previously struggled to organise her thoughts for English assignments, began catching her own run-on sentences and correcting them independently by the end of their session.

In Year 8 maths, one student who used to quietly guess at answers started openly asking questions whenever unsure—showing real initiative that hadn't been there before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student managed to finish all target questions on time for the first time after weeks of needing reminders, handing in her completed worksheet without any prompting.

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 Garden City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Upper Mount Gravatt State School.
