I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for a tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also believe…

The most important thing a tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of students…

Local Reviews

I would like to send a sincere thank you to your team for choosing Stefanie Palin into our home. My son, at first, was not keen to have a tutor. However, upon meeting Stefanie from the very first meeting he became keen to learn! Jared`s current maths school teacher has not been able to explain elements of trigonometry. However, after Stefanie showed him techniques he understood within minutes (I overheard Jared saying this). I have found Stefanie to be punctual, professional and very eager to help Jared learn and a lovely lady. If I hear of anyone needing a tutor I will not hesitate to inform them of your company.

Inside Moores PocketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Lucas practised **two- and three-times tables** and worked on adding three two-digit numbers, connecting this to basic multiplication strategies.

In Year 8, Emily focused on converting fractions to decimals and **adding decimals together**, with extra attention to real-world decimal problems.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Olivia tackled **perimeter and area calculations using diagrams**, alongside reading comprehension exercises linked to practical maths contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3–4 mathematics, several students struggled to maintain focus throughout lessons, especially towards the end—one tutor noted, "she needed a lot of encouragement to do questions near the lesson's end."

For another, avoidance of written working in favour of mental calculation led to repeated confusion between multiplication and division.

In English for Year 5, a student misplaced her homework book and delayed producing it until prompted, resulting in minimal progress during the session.

Reliance on memory aids or finger counting also persisted in basic arithmetic tasks; when confronted with more complex problems or word questions, confidence noticeably dropped and engagement faded.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Moores Pocket noticed Isla, a primary student, was able to redo a previous test and score much higher after working on her mistakes—she only missed one question this time.

In another session, Harrison (Year 10) demonstrated more independence by reading aloud from his report and self-correcting as he went, something he previously hesitated to do.

Ashlee (Year 7) recently achieved a perfect score on her spelling test after struggling with using new words in sentences; she now confidently uses them without prompting.

By the end of one lesson, Isla completed over 14 maths questions in just eight minutes.

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 Ipswich Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ipswich East State School.
