They can teach them to think right, and to analyze the causes of their actions. Not only in the theoretical context. But in life as well. Patience, listening, reading personalities, common sense, theoretical knowledge in mathematics and physics, and exposure to the practical applications of the theories in the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is create a close enough relationship with the student so that the student believes they can trust the tutor and not be scared to ask questions, thus maximising the help they can recieve. I think my strength as a tutor is that I was able to get my high grades in high-school through diligence and hard…

In my opinion , a tutor should be capable of understanding the child's situation and help them with kindness. They should treat children without judging them. They should keep trying to teach children the difficult materials and should repeat every methods till they became good at it. I am really good at my subject and I am sure that I can teach…

I think the best thing you can do for a student is inspire them to want to learn. Help them develop a sense of satisfaction and pride in their growth as a student. Instil a thirst for knowledge. This is ultimately what brought me back to study. To this end, it would be my goal to be able to present reasonable goals so that each student can see…

Listening to a student is the most important action a tutor can take with a student. A student might not always know the question they need to ask but by actively listening, it will give the opportunity to understand one another more effectively I approach students and their circumstances with understanding. Maths can be very frustrating when it…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't. Including the student in the lesson is very important. I used tutoring in highschool, so I have a good idea of how to frame my lessons and adjust…

I believe patience, respect and empathy is highly necessary to be able to connect with a student so that they can understand a difficult topic. Therefore, being able to frame a difficult topic in a way that is easy to understand enables the student to not only be confident in the subject matter but also allows them to find a way to approach the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to assess the learning pacing and style of a student beacuse in that way you can strategize the appropriate teaching styles that fits the student.

In my opinion the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the subjects the student is struggling with more fun. To take the anxiety out of a problem and turn it into confidence is incredibly important for the students success. I believe that through my extensive experience in tutoring and mentoring students of various…

It is important to be cognisant that whilst clear explanation of theory is important to learning, an even more vital constituent element is allowing the student to develop their own intuition and understanding of a topic which can only happen through their own thoughtful practice. Our job as a tutor is not to tell students what to think but to…

I'm very happy with Jon and the whole tutoring experience that our son has received from him.

Inside DraperTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student James worked through solving **simultaneous equations** and was introduced to trigonometry using right-angled triangles.

For Year 10, Priya practiced **critical path analysis** within decision networks and revised matrix addition and multiplication.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Marcus focused on **compound interest calculations**, including creating compound interest tables and rearranging related formulas for test preparation.

Recent Challenges

Did not complete any work on his assignment even though the due date is Monday next week.

In a senior class, one student relied heavily on shortcuts to answer compound interest questions but found this led to errors with more complex scenarios.

A Year 10 student skipped discussing unclear algebra steps with their teacher, so confusion persisted—could have discussed things with teacher more, needs ask more questions.

Missing homework and avoiding feedback left exam revision less effective and increased last-minute stress.

Recent Achievements

A Draper tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who used to rely on memorising formulas begin to confidently rearrange equations and choose the right formula for each problem, especially with compound interest—something he'd previously avoided.

Another high school student started actively setting out assignments independently, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance, after struggling to organise his work in earlier sessions.

In primary years, Tayla shaved her times tables speed from six minutes down to just two; she finished her last set without any hints and immediately asked for a more challenging round.

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 Albany Creek Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Samford State School.
