I feel as if the most import thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and genuinely care about their issues, wellbeing and grades. Developing and achieving goals together while having fun along the way is the best thing I can do for a student. My strength as a tutor is clear and understandable communication with a dash of fun. I feel as if…

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think a tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught how to…

Not only academic but also personal growth is what I consider most important.

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic.

Be someone a student feels comfortable with so they can ask any questions they need without feeling judged. It is also important that the tutor can, of course, answer questions, as well as provide strategies to help the student become a more independent learner in the future. I find it easy to breakdown a concept and explain each step of the way.…

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session.

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.
