Being able to teach the content is one thing, but knowing how to teach someone to learn is far more important. People learn in different ways, and engage with different subjects based on their level of interest. As a tutor, the most important thing to do for a student is to teach them in a ways that works for them, and to get them interested in…

It is so important for a tutor to know how a student learns. Some students don't work well with rote learning, so making activities that are fun and engaging is very important. Also, being aware that some students are more visual learners or kinetic learner, so being able to cater to that is extremely important. I believe that I can connect well…

The most important thing should be to make the student feel understood and supported. Not every child finds learning easy and so if you can make them feel confident, they will have a much higher chance of succeeding as they know someone is in their corner and genuinely wants them to do well. I am very flexible, so if a student has a certain way of…

I think reinforcing good habits such as consistent studying, and getting good sleep are the best things a tutor can recommend, followed closely by catering lessons to specific concepts that they are struggling in. I am a very process oriented person, meaning I enjoy understanding why something works, rather then just replicating. This means I can…

Inside BokarinaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Summer worked on telling time using analogue clocks and solving number line subtraction questions from her homework.

In Year 9, Rebecca practised simplifying algebraic terms and calculating rates through targeted textbook exercises.

For Year 11, Ryan focused on developing a math assignment involving the creation of a dinner menu for a party, applying concepts of percentages and cost calculations throughout the session.

Recent Challenges

The Year 11 Engineering student has not consistently sought feedback or clarified assignment expectations, despite being encouraged to do so—"he must actively ask and bombard his teachers with questions," noted one tutor.

In Year 8 Maths, one student repeatedly forgot to bring home schoolwork for revision, which made it harder to review basic concepts like multiplication and division.

The Year 10 student was observed relying heavily on notes during data analysis tasks rather than practicing independent problem-solving.

These habits meant valuable lesson time was spent retracing missed steps or clarifying assignment requirements instead of advancing new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Bokarina tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now confidently requests clarification on tricky calculus steps, leading to smoother problem-solving and less second-guessing.

Another high schooler recently shifted from struggling with rearranging equations to accurately recalling formulas and choosing when to use them, even rating his own progress higher than in past sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to lose focus during writing tasks managed to stay engaged throughout an assignment, typing independently without distraction and finishing her paragraph before asking the tutor for feedback.

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 Kawana Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kawana Waters State College.
