Science Tutor Victoria Point, QLD
A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for. The most important thing a tutor can do is broaden and enhance the knowledge of the students in a way they understand. Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my self and…

Science Tutor Redland Bay, QLD
The most crucial role of a tutor is to assist students in acquiring the ability to develop their own problem-solving skills. This empowers them to independently navigate through challenges without the ongoing need for external guidance, as they develop the necessary skills to tackle problems on their own. My strengths lie in my capacity to adapt…

The best kind of confidence builder is being able to understand something on your own so the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to get the student to a point where they don't need a tutor anymore. I'm a very patient person which I think is useful when trying to explain something tricky. I also get along great with students…

Local Reviews

Sen is an awesome maths tutor. He has been tutoring my son for over a year, first in year 11 (2022) and now in year 12 (2023). My son's math results are excellent and he is gaining more and more confidence with Sen's help.. Sen is always on time for tutoring sessions, and he has a calm way of explaining mathematical concepts in a logical way. He is professional, organised and friendly with excellent communication skills. Highly recommend him as a maths tutor.

Inside Lamb IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Taylor focused on spelling correction and reading aloud to boost comprehension, also practicing with prefixes and suffixes.

For Year 10, Jarred tackled questions involving factorising algebraic expressions as well as trigonometry and bearings using targeted practice sets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nisha concentrated on annuities and loan repayments through step-by-step financial mathematics exercises, finishing off by reviewing simple and compound interest calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student hesitated to ask questions in class, making it hard to clarify confusing annuities problems; as one tutor noted, "she mentioned difficulty asking questions in class."

In Year 10 maths, skipping written steps when rearranging equations led to sign errors that slowed progress.

A Year 8 student only practiced familiar types of Pythagoras and area problems, avoiding more challenging worded tasks and missing out on deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner still relied heavily on counting with fingers for addition instead of building number fluency—extra time went into basics rather than tackling new content.

Recent Achievements

A Lamb Island tutor noticed Taylor, a high school student, becoming more independent with each maths question—where she once waited for prompts, she now tackles problems solo and only checks in if stuck.

In another session, Jakob, also in high school, made the switch from needing step-by-step guidance on annuities to independently solving practice questions by lesson's end.

Meanwhile, Claira (Year 2) used to rely heavily on finger counting but has begun completing double- and single-digit addition sums faster and with much less hesitation than before.

Last week, she worked through a full set of multiplication problems without stopping to ask for 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 Russell Island Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like MacLeay Island State School.
