I always say that the most important thing is being patient. I know that every child is different, so tutors have to adapt to each child and teach children in the appropriate way, since each student understands subjects differently. I am a young person, so I am able to understand a child in many situations. I am aware of mental health and the…

I believe tutoring helps students develop a genuine love for learning. There are 2 characteristics a tutor needs to achieve this. Firstly, the tutor should have an open and friendly personality. Learning is inherently effortful, and having someone friendly to guide the process makes it more enjoyable and productive. Additionally, tutors need to…

The most important thing is giving your student a safe space by listening and understanding them. Then building trust is next part of the equation. If a tutor is able to achieve above, students freely ask questions and share their weaknesses. Because they know they will not be judged for what they do not know and you as a teacher there to help…

Being a second person the student can ask for help on things related to the subject, other than their school teacher.

So being able to…

I believe that patience and consideration are the most important things, as it can take very different amounts of time for people to understand concepts that I may have learnt at a faster pace, or that another student learnt faster.

According to me, the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is wake up their curiosity. Getting good grades are important, but equally important is to make sure that the student is enjoying and understanding the subject being taught. As this helps make the student pursue the subjects further. These are the future of the humanity,…

A tutor should set a good example for the student by punctual, respectful and approachable. A tutor should help the student set clear goals and monitor their progress.

I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

Harrison is extremely well mannered and diligent. He will often give his own time to ensure that Kate understands before he leaves. He is patient, calm and has lots of great strategies to simplify and explain maths and my daughters maths marks have improved. Thank you so much Harrison.

Inside PaddingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex worked through final exam revision, tackling two worksheets with a focus on resolving specific questions that had caused confusion in class.

For Year 10, Olivia spent the lesson practising algebraic operations involving fractions and completing school homework problems to reinforce her understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya concentrated on calculus topics such as rates of change and differentiation using first principles and the power rule, applying these methods to textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student hesitated to show full working when tackling trigonometric identities—she tried to do steps mentally, but small sign errors crept in, noted the tutor.

For a Year 4 learner, forgetting to bring math books from school meant key division homework was incomplete and revision suffered.

In Year 9, one student's layout in problem-solving tasks made their reasoning hard to follow; answers were present, but skipped lines caused confusion when reviewing mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student lost track of older concepts while focusing only on new material, leading to gaps during mixed-topic tests.

Recent Achievements

One Paddington tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess on difficult algebra questions now speaking up when stuck and asking for hints, which helped her finish the worksheet with only two errors.

A senior student who previously mixed up integration rules was able to clearly explain which formula fit each problem, working through a full set of calculus questions without needing reminders.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who hesitated to start homework independently has begun tackling spelling lists right away, even double-checking tricky words before the session ended.

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 Brisbane Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Petrie Terrace State School.
