Matthew
PDHPE Tutor Boronia Heights, QLD
For me, a tutor isn't a person that helps a student achieve a high grade or even a grade that a student wants - although that is one characteristic of the job. For the most part, a tutor is someone who sharpens the pencil that the teacher has given the student, and shows them how to write properly. They erase the mistakes the student makes, and…

Yi-Shiuan
PDHPE Tutor Parkinson, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them either to solve their queries and/or to further understand a topic in the respective subjects. When I first came to Australia, my English tutor was really helpful in answering my questions and equips me with basic skills for school such as grammar. My strengths are connecting…

Thomas
PDHPE Tutor Algester, QLD
A tutor should make the student feel like there are no silly questions and they are simply there to support and guide them. It should feel like teamwork, both working to achieve a similar goal and help the student long term in their study. I am a good communicator and listener and feel I would be able to work with the student to help them…

Nathan
PDHPE Tutor Calamvale, QLD
The most important thing is not solving student maths, english or science problems. It's providing a student with the critical thinking skills that can be applicable to school problems, and life after school. My stubborn nature does not allow me to give up on students nor the problems in front of them. I will stay with someone who is struggling in…

PDHPE Tutor Forest Lake, QLD
I believe that tutors should not regurgitate content students have learnt in class. Instead, tutors should guide students on how to learn more effectively through study tips. This is something I am very adamant on, as I have first-hand experienced how improving studying habits can positively impact one's academic career. My strength as a tutor is…

Inside HillcrestTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 3 student Hunter focused on multiplication and division basics to build towards early algebra, using practical examples for understanding.
In Year 10, Grace worked through the application of the unit circle in trigonometry and practiced balancing chemical equations.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled logarithms—learning their properties and solving related problems—and explored radians with a focus on real-world applications.
Recent Challenges
In Year 4, a student often set out fraction addition and subtraction messily, which led to avoidable calculation errors; as one tutor noted, "he still has a little confusion on how to layout his addition and subtraction of fractions."
For a Year 11 Methods student, reluctance to write working in algebra—preferring mental calculations—resulted in repeated mistakes that weren't caught until prompted.
Meanwhile, another senior student's confidence faltered during exam-style worded problems; she hesitated despite using correct reasoning. In these moments, uncertainty slowed her progress and increased doubt just as time pressure mounted.
Recent Achievements
One Hillcrest tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to speak up now talks through her maths problems out loud, highlights key info, and finishes subtraction questions with far fewer errors than before.
In Year 12 methods, a student who struggled with calculator menus is now independently navigating functions for complex probability tasks and catches small mistakes early—something he rarely did at the start of term.
Another high schooler has started finishing all assigned homework on time and recently spotted the tutor's own error during a number line activity, showing real initiative in her learning.
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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernardine's School.
