Tutor Smithfield, QLD
Tutoring is essentially an aid for student's learning in schools. The most important thing that a tutor can do is to ignite students' passion for learning. This can be acheived through helping them with questions and concepts that they find confusing, guiding them to develop their own problem solving strategies and most importantly growing their…

The most important is the capacity for the tutor to engage with a student closely, and altering their mindset to or around mathematics. This may be making them enjoy the subject more, approaching with a more efficient way of thinking to certain exam problems (especially so that it suits the student' learning method), or even just helping them feel…

A good tutor will help students develop the problem-solving skills necessary so that they are confident in their abilities when faced with a difficult question outside the session. A tutor should be there to guide the student towards their own conclusions, whilst ensuring all gaps in understanding are filled. Importantly, a tutor must provide a…

Tutor Trinity Park, QLD
I believe that building a students belief in themselves and their abilities combined with developing their set of strategies for dealing with unfamiliar problems are the greatest things a tutor can give their students. Establishing rapport with students is my greatest strength. Having 14 years experience as a principal and classroom teacher means…

I believe that it is important for a tutor to have trust in, and give confidence to their student to help them reach their potential. Tutors should be supportive towards their students and do their best to answer any questions the student may have and provide resources to help them with their learning. I believe my main strength would be active…

Inside KurandaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Layla practised reading analogue and digital clocks, including converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time, and also worked on subtraction with decimals alongside multiplication involving three-digit numbers.

In Year 9, Sophia focused on expanding complex algebraic brackets and solving equations, as well as factorising equations by finding the highest common factor (HCF) and interpreting basic graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Eve tackled all trigonometry questions from a past exam—especially using Pythagoras' theorem to find side lengths—and reviewed similarity and congruence concepts through targeted error analysis.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often arrived without required materials, once losing a homework sheet and needing to spend the lesson redoing missed work rather than moving ahead.

In Year 10 maths, one student's assignment formatting was unclear, which made it hard to interpret solutions—"a few minor changes were made to assignment formatting and interpretation," noted the tutor.

A senior student skipped explaining reasoning behind trigonometric comparisons ("couldn't explain why cos55 > cos65"), limiting deeper understanding.

Several primary students (Years 4–6) did not complete assigned homework multiple times in a row, leading to repeated practice on basics instead of advancing.

Recent Achievements

One Kuranda tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to start assignments alone, brought her own work for test prep and arrived ready with questions—something she hadn't done before.

In Year 10, Layla used to hesitate on complex problems but now works through them methodically and independently, even making teacher-requested assignment changes without prompting.

Meanwhile, in Year 6, Sophia has started correcting her own test mistakes right away and confidently solves division problems without needing extra help from the tutor.

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 Kuranda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kuranda District State College.
