I believe the most significant thing a tutor can do is shape their teaching based on the students weaknesses to enhance their learning to the fullest. I also believe teaching the students to be independent in their students is significant as you cannot be their for them 24/7, and helping them develop proper individual study skills is crucial for a…

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient. Patience is always ideal when tutoring as something cannot always be fully understood. Additionally I have been told I’m very understanding…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them build a solid understanding of concepts, so that they are able to apply those concepts in all different situations. Aside from this, I do believe it is very important to be able to teach students ways to learn and figure things out by themselves, so they will not always…

A tutor can provide personalised teaching to students that would not be available in a big classroom environment. A tutor also provides a safe space for students free of judgement where they can ask questions they might not get the chance to ask in class. Tutors also relate to the students and instill a level of confidence that truly improves…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student take an active role in their learning. Rather than simply dictate the steps to take, a tutor needs to ensure the student participates in each aspect of their learning, whether it be through examples or solving problems. A tutor also needs to be well informed on the content a…

Inside Forest LakeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Alexis worked on word problems involving multiplication, division, and addition/subtraction, with a focus on applying these operations to her homework tasks.

In Year 10, Sarah revised logarithms and practised applying the laws of logarithms to solve equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel completed an assignment covering exponentials and logarithms by checking calculations and reviewing responses from previous tests for accuracy.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, a student showed improvement in reading fluency but often rushed through comprehension tasks—skipping ahead led to missing key points in the text, as one tutor observed.

In Year 11 General Maths, another student skipped lines of working when solving algebra and log problems; this made it hard to track errors and slowed down progress.

A Year 7 science student arrived without completed homework, making it difficult to build on prior lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner relied heavily on finger counting for subtraction, which slowed her pace during timed activities and dented her confidence when facing new material.

Recent Achievements

One Forest Lake tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated with trigonometry now tackling questions independently and even explaining her working out step by step.

In a senior chemistry session, a student who once needed heavy scaffolding has started leading discussions, using her own research to guide the lesson and confidently outlining her assignment structure.

Meanwhile, during a primary maths session, a younger learner who used to mix up the hour and minute hands on an analog clock ended the lesson reading time accurately without prompting and grouped numbers independently for addition tasks.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forest Lake State High School.
