Science Tutor Manly, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower them with the tools and confidence to become independent learners. Beyond just imparting knowledge, a tutor should encourage critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of self-efficacy in their students. This involves not only explaining concepts but…

A tutor needs to be able to quickly pick up on a students strengths and weaknesses so that they can focus on the correct areas of study. They also need to be able to create an optimal learning environment specialized to that specific student. Importantly a tutor needs to make the learning a fun experience for the student as this is what allows the…

Being present and active. I think being on your phone or doing something else while teaching the student makes it a negative experience for them as they may feel invalidated or that their needs aren't a priority.

The most important thing for a tutor to do is inspire self-believe and uncover topics that may become a passion for children.

Inside ManlyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 2 student Lucas practised skip-counting by twos, fives and tens, and identified even and odd numbers using hands-on activities.

Year 9 student Ava revised index laws and exponential equations, then tackled algebraic factorising to consolidate class content.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan focused on differentiation in Unit 3 Topic 2 and reviewed graphical representations of functions, connecting them to real-world problem-solving scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student's over-reliance on practicing only familiar question types between lessons led to missed opportunities for growth in challenging topics—"should spend as much time as possible on it tonight and tomorrow to maximise result," noted one tutor before the final exam.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 algebra sessions, skipping written steps made error-tracing difficult: "writing down the steps of every problem so it's easier to go back and check for possible mistakes" was highlighted.

For a younger learner in Year 3, confusion with regrouping tens and ones surfaced when new drawings appeared in notebooks; hesitation to review these concepts slowed progress during subtraction activities.

Recent Achievements

One Manly tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had struggled to apply algebraic techniques; now he's confidently solving quadratics mostly on his own, often needing just a hint instead of step-by-step help.

Another high schooler in Year 12 moved from confusion about trigonometric functions to independently using sine and cosine rules across multiple problems—she even chose which rule to use without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student, Lucas, has gone from guessing at regrouping tens and ones to completing addition and subtraction exercises accurately on his own and finishing homework without reminders.

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 Wynnum Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John Vianney's Primary School.
