I think the most important things a tutor can do is to conceptualise the content so that they can easily grasp the subject and work together with the student to deepen their understanding.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them.

Therefore, sometimes a student that is struggling is only struggling because they learn better with a…

I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

Tutors should provide a safe space where students feel comfortable in sharing their concerns. As a tutor you should prioritize…

Inside WhitesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Tasha practised calculating surface area and reviewed a range of exam topics, reinforcing key geometry concepts.

In Year 11, Daniel focused on applying differentiation and integration in mathematics using worked examples to clarify the process.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily explored optimization problems in higher-level maths, tackling real-world scenarios and preparing for upcoming mock tests.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 maths, one student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions without guidance, often pausing mid-task and waiting for prompts; as the tutor observed, "I encouraged her to think independently before providing help."

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student resorted to guessing equations rather than applying learned methods, which led to confusion during assignment completion.

In middle years (Year 7–8), another student's working was disorganised when writing out questions—he missed steps and had trouble recalling formulas under pressure.

For primary level maths, frequent rushing caused repeated small errors in counting money and basic operations, slowing progress on new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Whiteside noticed that Kiana, a high school student, went from feeling unsure about negative indices to independently finishing those questions quickly and accurately by the end of her session.

Another high schooler, Clancey, who started out hesitant with trigonometric functions, was able to answer problems on his own after some guided practice—something he hadn't managed before.

In Year 3, Sophia used real coins during maths and moved from struggling with counting money to confidently completing worksheets while actually enjoying the process.

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 Strathpine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kurwongbah State School.
