Modern History Tutor Manly West, QLD
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. I work great with kids. Especially through my role as a swimming teacher, I have learnt how to communicate better with them in order to…

I believe that tutors can offer a unique perspective that cannot be expected from a professional teacher. Consisting mostly of undergraduate and postgraduate students, most tutors would still have the memories of high school fresh in their minds. Therefore, students would understand on a personal level the sort of challenges that a student might…

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…

The most important thing that a tutor can provide for a student is support and motivation. When a student is struggling, they have low self-efficacy and motivation to engage with the subject. What is important is to use this knowledge to provide tutoring in a way that is relaxed and engaging. In addition the tutor should always value and strive to…

Making sure that the learning content is tailored to the needs of the child. Children with special needs require extra support and compassion.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to take the time to understand what aspect of their learning is causing them difficulty, and to address it.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation.

Make them interested in the content.

Gagan is a wonderful tutor and I would be very happy with her coming back next year.
Leanne, Manly West

Inside Manly WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla focused on addition, subtraction, and telling time, with extra support understanding numbers using practical examples.

In Year 9, Mia worked through linear equations and inequalities, also touching on trigonometry basics to prepare for upcoming assessments.

For a senior student, Ethan reviewed log laws alongside differentiation and integration by breaking down exam-style questions step-by-step for greater confidence in advanced maths topics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on log and integration problems often skipped writing intermediary steps, leading to small errors when solving for x in the quadratic equations, as noted by a tutor.

In Year 9 trigonometry, confusion between tan and cosine ratios was worsened by avoiding written comparisons, making it harder to spot pattern mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student struggled with long division remainders; unclear layout meant lost place value mid-calculation.

For a senior legal studies task, one learner didn't respond to previous feedback on structuring evidence-based arguments—resulting in repeated gaps across draft emails and assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Manly West tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously avoided open-ended maths problems now tackling complex log and integration questions with less prompting, showing much more persistence when stuck.

Another high schooler, in Year 9, has shifted from needing reminders to check her algebra to independently solving inequalities on graphs and asking for extra practice with linear functions.

At the primary level, one student who used to mix up measurement units is now confidently converting between units without any hints—he finished all his worksheet conversions correctly this week.

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 Wondall Heights State School.
