One of the most important aspect is to transfer and translate our knowledge and understanding to children in order for them to apply in other situations which involves problem solving.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is provide an opportunity for the student to thrive. To establish belief in them, as typically students seek out tutoring as they believe they are not 'good' at a subject. Being the one person there that cheers them on is a powerful thing. Providing alternate methods for students to learn is…

The most vital thing a tutor can do for any student is to ensure comprehension of the topic. Notably, in math. It is easy enough to follow a procedure on how to solve a problem, running through the steps that were taught. However, if a student can understand why those steps are happening, and delve into fundamentals of the problem, then they can…

I think it's okay for tutors to make mistakes while teaching, but these mistakes have to be found out and clearly explained to the students afterwards.

From my perspective, I feel the least and most important thing a tutor can do is to make sure that the student is 100% clear with all the content that is being gone through during the lesson. That is, the student is able to complete similar type of questions with 100% confidence. In order to achieve that, the tutor needs to adjust the pace of…

The maths tutor, Promit has been excellent. His tutoring has assisted my son to increase his capacity at mathematics at school and he is now doing well. Promit is thorough, patient and detailed in his approach to teaching.

Inside AlgesterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ed worked on long division and converting between improper and mixed fractions, using step-by-step examples to boost accuracy.

In Year 9, Ruby focused on financial mathematics, including budgeting tasks and solving real-life word problems with ratios.

For Year 11, Grace tackled network concepts such as drawing networks and determining latest start/earliest start times, plus practiced questions from her revision sheets ahead of exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly tried to solve equations in his head rather than writing steps, which led to "mistakes due to rushing," as one tutor observed; this habit persisted even after reminders and caused confusion especially during algebra and mental maths.

In Year 11, a student arrived at her assignment unsure of what was required or how to plan her approach—she struggled with breaking tasks into smaller steps, delaying meaningful progress on the project.

Another senior student tackling bearings questions often created unclear diagrams, making it difficult to label angles or directions accurately and causing avoidable calculation errors.

Recent Achievements

One Algester tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who used to skip writing out maths working; now, he carefully shows each step and even caught his own errors during long division without prompting.

Another high school student, Ruby, has begun revising independently and completed her revision sheet multiple times at around 75% accuracy—a major shift from relying on reminders before tests.

In a recent Year 5 session, the student worked through tricky two-digit multiplication problems unaided after struggling last term, finishing all practice questions without asking for help.

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 Sunnybank Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Algester State School.
