Building a student’s love for learning is the most important part of education. When they truly enjoy what they are learning, they naturally reach their highest potential academically. I’ve seen this hold true for every child I’ve worked with, regardless of where they are on the learning spectrum. My strengths as a tutor include an ability…

Tutoring a student can actually bring a significant change in the student. You should be able to understand the problem he is facing in regards of his learning by putting yourself in his shoes and then device a solution that can help him overcome that problem. I think I am a hardworking individual. I try to give my best at everything I…

The most important thing I could do for my students is to inspire them through learning. For example, students can understand the complex topic better through application to daily situations. In Mathematics, this will better prepare them for complex questions and PSMTs as students will be learning real life applications as well as problem solving…

Tutoring as a whole is so important in todays society. I believe it is extremely necessary that young students are taught one on one to ensure their success. As someone who grew up with a tutor, I have some of my best memories with my tutor, and I owe a lot of my success to her. It is important that tutors are patient and understanding, while also…

They should also be able to keep track of their students' progress and adjust their approach as needed.A successful tutor combines strong subject knowledge with effective communication skills, empathy, adaptability,…

I believe that tutors can offer a unique perspective that cannot be expected from a professional teacher. Consisting mostly of undergraduate and postgraduate students, most tutors would still have the memories of high school fresh in their minds. Therefore, students would understand on a personal level the sort of challenges that a student might…

Being present and active. I think being on your phone or doing something else while teaching the student makes it a negative experience for them as they may feel invalidated or that their needs aren't a priority.

Lara is doing very well with Amber. She is fantastic and Lara loves her sessions.
Merrilea, Gumdale

Inside GumdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ruby worked on adding and subtracting money amounts, as well as practising efficient strategies for basic addition and subtraction.

For Year 8, Ethan focused on the rules of indices—covering the first four index laws—and tackled a set of percentage problems through targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia reviewed linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic functions by comparing their graphs and discussing key differences between each type.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on complex integration and logarithms often avoided writing out full steps, which made it harder to spot calculation slips—he skipped showing steps in log rearrangements, so small errors weren't caught until the end.

In Year 9 algebra, another student relied heavily on notes when tackling unfamiliar expressions, rather than practicing independently.

For a Year 6 learner, messy layout in long division led to misplaced remainders and confusion over results.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 law student hesitated to use feedback on evidence questions, leading to repeated misunderstandings about structuring responses under exam pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Gumdale tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after weeks of confusion with algebraic inequalities on graphs, started solving them independently and even checked her own work without prompting.

In Year 12 Legal Studies, a student who used to avoid drafting emails for class now volunteers to write client scenarios during sessions, asking thoughtful questions about legislation along the way.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once hesitated to tackle multiplication tables is now eager to attempt new times tables each week—last session she completed all her 8s and 9s without any help.

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 Wynnum Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gumdale State School.
