As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing. Spoon feeding a student will only help temporarily and is very harmful. I believe my strengths are that i dont like to teach every child the same way. Each…

I think providing valuable insights and preparation is one thing, but having a set out progression plan for them is the best way to ensure success for the student. We can't squeeze a whole chapter or page worth of content in one or two sessions but we can tailor it better. I'm a great communicator and I know that sounds very generic but I can…

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.
