I am confident that an ability to find a right way to deliver an imformation is the best thing a true tutor can do. It is always important to remember that every student is different and therefore a study approach has to be different as well. As I tutor, I am an excellent communicator, which allows me to find a right way to educate other students…

Understanding the individual needs and learning styles of each student is crucial. Also, fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment is key for students to ask questions freely and grasp concepts without worrying about making mistakes. Lastly, finding alternative strategies for solving problems is very important if the student is stuck on a…

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them.

Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

I believe that it is incredibly important for a tutor to inspire their student to achieve their very best in terms of their academics. I also believe that a tutor can act as a more relatable source of academic help instead of a teacher; a tutor can provide more in depth help outside the class room. I can sympathise with the students in terms of…

I ended up getting an A* in the subject. I would want to follow…

Inside GreenslopesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Caleb explored chance and probability scenarios, along with basic arithmetic calculations.

Year 8 student Paul tackled algebraic expressions, measurement problems, geometry concepts, and probability through school test revision.

For Year 10, Ruby focused on quadratic equations—finding turning points and axes of symmetry by completing the square—and practiced using intercepts to determine the equation of a quadratic from its graph.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left algebra steps incomplete—skipped showing working when simplifying expressions, as noted—making it difficult to spot and correct sign errors.

In senior maths, one Year 11 student's graph work was held back by unclear layout: axis scales were inconsistently marked, leading to confusion about gradients.

A Year 10 student preparing an essay hesitated to write full sentences for ideas, worried they "weren't perfect yet," which slowed progress and limited drafting practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner sometimes relied on counting by hand instead of memorizing basic addition facts, making multi-step calculations much slower during class activities.

Recent Achievements

A Greenslopes tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who started independently detecting and correcting her own mistakes in algebra, after previously needing step-by-step guidance.

In a senior English session, another high schooler was able to restructure her essay based on feedback—something she'd hesitated to do before—which made her arguments much clearer and stronger.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who had struggled to stay focused managed to complete all his decimal addition questions correctly and worked with much more concentration than usual. The session wrapped up as he answered every problem 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 Stones Corner Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Greenslopes State School.
