Science Tutor Stafford Heights, QLD
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…

In the teaching phase, student-focused teaching would be my method of teaching, which is to discover what the students need instead of dumping knowledge, whilst showing respect and understanding. When a student raises concerns about a question, which I assume in maths and sciences usually composites of concepts from multiple areas of study, I…

A tutor must give a student confidence and help them to not be overwhelmed by new topics. Once a student believes they can learn something, it is much easier to actually learn it. Tutors must also be personal and understand what method of teaching is most effective for each individual. As a recently graduated student, I am able to understand how…

I believe it is integral to grasp the individual students learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. As a part of this, it's also important to learn what doesn't work for them, and avoid these techniques. For example, an English teacher might teach them poetic terms by getting the student to write out definitions. If a students doesn't…

I think the main role of a tutor is encouraging confidence in their students. I have found that most of the time my students know the answer, they're just too afraid to say it.

A tutor must be patient and listen to how the student feels and explains their material.

Acoording to me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make a positive impact on his life by not forcing the society standards for learning and growing as every child has a different mind and way of approach to things around them. A tutor is one of the best person who can analyse this and make learning a creative activity instead…

I think the most important quality to bring to tuition is a sense of drive to motivate students.

High academic achievement can give a student a plethora of pathways in…

Inside Wavell HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student William worked on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, and explored number patterns by identifying rules within sequences.

In Year 11, Ethan focused on integrating functions using substitution and integration by parts, alongside applying trigonometric identities within integration problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia tackled Coulomb's Law in physics by practicing a range of electrostatics questions from straightforward calculations to more complex scenarios involving triangular force arrangements.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly missed crucial details in multi-step questions—she would forget a key part of the question, and took a while to realise—which slowed her progress until extra focus was applied.

In Year 12 Methods, one student consistently left off "+C" when integrating, as noted: He forgets his plus C at the end of the equation, revealing a gap in exam-ready habits.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's messy working and incomplete conversion steps led to confusion between decimals and percentages.

When a senior Physics student lost confidence after a tough exam, time was spent just rebuilding belief before tackling specialist revision.

Recent Achievements

One Wavell Heights tutor noticed a Year 8 student who, after initially second-guessing herself in maths, started quickly eliminating wrong options and could explain her reasoning out loud.

In Year 11, a physics student who used to mix up concepts around time dilation can now accurately solve paradox questions on his own after recognising where he'd misunderstood before.

Another high schooler surprised their tutor by recalling tricky calculus techniques weeks after learning them—he even taught one of the integration tricks to classmates during the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Stella is fantastic and Alex's maths grades went from D to B with Stella so we are very grateful. I am keen for her to continue because she was doing very well with Stella.

Dorcas was brilliant. Proactive, organised with a genuine interest in Yasmin's learning. Dorcas went over and above what was required of her and for that I am very grateful. Your company has always been professional and understanding also, no complaints there whatsoever. Thank you for following up with us and perhaps another time in the future we may need your services, I wouldn't go anywhere else to find a tutor.

Thanks for your e-mail follow up! All is going well thank you with Serenity-Mae's tutorials. It has been a positive experience for her which is great!

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 Chermside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Angels' School.
