Helping students understand that they are capable of overcoming their difficulties with the subject. Helping them to identify what they need to improve in order to perform better. Teaching them that their efforts are worth it and that they can achieve their goals if they work hard. Many students give up before trying, so I think this is the first…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot…

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

Inside GeebungTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Jack focused on applying the first and second derivative tests to identify stationary points, including classifying them as minima, maxima, or points of inflection.

Year 11 student Emily practiced logarithmic addition and subtraction as well as multiplying using index laws, consolidating her understanding with worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Ava worked on comparing fractions numerically and using diagrams for clearer understanding, along with building confidence in multiplication and division facts.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 10 student working on algebra, he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors—when these slips weren't caught by backchecking, small mistakes crept into otherwise solid work.

In Year 8 mathematics, forgetting to bring the correct workbook led to lost time reconstructing notes from memory instead of building new skills.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes juggled both an online textbook and offline workbook but struggled to keep track of where practice questions had been completed.

For one primary student tackling fractions, scattered classwork across multiple books made it tricky to review progress before tests.

Recent Achievements

In Geebung, a tutor observed that William, a Year 10 student, has started to slow down and talk through each maths problem aloud. This is a significant shift from earlier sessions where he would rush and make simple mistakes.

During a recent high school session, another student who previously hesitated to use new formulas was able to independently apply the equation given for differentiation until he understood it clearly.

For a younger learner, Callum has moved beyond just memorising times tables; now he prepares his own materials before each lesson and tackles unfamiliar multiplication problems without prompting.

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 Chermside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Kevin's School.
