The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to make them realise that they have much more potential than they think. Tutors have the opportunity to show and help students to gain confidence in themselves and this will remain with them not only during their schooling years, but as they grow and face many challenges in life. The…

Besides imparting essential knowledge of the subject, I think it is very important that the tutor has to show the student a right direction how to study and absorb knowledge, so that in the future they can study independently in college. In addition, a tutor can use various means to motivate the student to study harder and improve themselves day…

The tutor's important task not only includes providing information to the students but also creates the passion for the subject. Only when a student is passionate about something, he/she will be able to learn about it. I think patience is my really big strength as a tutor. Every student has their own pace at which they learn. It is really…

The single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. Everyone learns things at different rates and some things may come more easily than others. If the tutor becomes frustrated it only ends up discouraging and demoralising the student which further affects their study and confidence. Hence, it is vital for a tutor to be…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. One has to understand that every child has different ways of learning as well as the pace at which they learn. Therefore, a tutor should be perfectly fine with repeating a thing many times. A tutor should also be judgement free during the tutoring process as this makes the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a reason as to why its important they need to study, other than just getting good grades. I believe if the students can find why they need to learn all the stuff and they see the bigger picture, then it will provide the students with enough internal motivation, which…

I believe tutoring helps students develop a genuine love for learning. There are 2 characteristics a tutor needs to achieve this. Firstly, the tutor should have an open and friendly personality. Learning is inherently effortful, and having someone friendly to guide the process makes it more enjoyable and productive. Additionally, tutors need to…

If a student can frame a problem, or recognize which tools are appropriate, then the rest becomes much more manageable. - I have a good knowledge of subjects, and their applications. - I can often recommend…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

Hamish is great and Jackson feels confident after receiving his help.
Natalie, Heathwood

Inside HeathwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Aryan worked on single- and double-digit addition and subtraction, as well as punctuation basics like full stops and question marks.

For Year 10, Zoe focused on algebraic methods for solving equations and practised factorising perfect squares and the difference of two squares using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled exponential and logarithmic functions, then extended to taking derivatives of these along with trigonometric functions in preparation for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Physics, a student struggled with formatting and pacing their scientific report—"needs more evidence"—which led to rushed conclusions and weaker claims.

A Year 11 Maths student showed over-reliance on calculators, often rounding answers prematurely instead of using exact forms when creating functions.

During Year 8 homework on graphing questions, one learner left work incomplete; as the tutor observed, "was unable to complete homework regarding graphing questions."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student hesitated to attempt challenging addition problems independently and required prompting to check her answers aloud. This sometimes meant correct methods weren't practiced until guided step-by-step.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Heathwood noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on step-by-step guidance now tackling optimization questions solo—she picks out relevant information from complex problems and confidently applies the right techniques.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, there was a shift: instead of guessing through index law questions, he paused to backtrack and find mistakes when prompted, showing real engagement with the process.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by adapting easily to the number-line strategy for addition and even tried harder problems independently before reading the time on an analogue clock for the first time.

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 Pallara State School.
