PDHPE Tutor Greenbank, QLD
For me, a tutor isn't a person that helps a student achieve a high grade or even a grade that a student wants - although that is one characteristic of the job. For the most part, a tutor is someone who sharpens the pencil that the teacher has given the student, and shows them how to write properly. They erase the mistakes the student makes, and…

Inside Park Ridge SouthTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 12 student Geoffrey worked on understanding the photoelectric effect in Physics, focusing on correctly applying formulas and interpreting tricky exam questions, while also revising chemical synthesis and industrial processes like the Haber and Contact processes in Chemistry.
Year 11 student Emily practiced tackling circular motion problems in Physics by breaking down information for formula use, and improved her confidence with integration by parts and partial fractions in Mathematics.
For Year 3, Ava reviewed core maths skills including addition, subtraction, multiplication, identifying fractions and shapes, as well as handling basic worded questions involving money and measurement.
Recent Challenges
In Year 11 Chemistry, missing several lessons due to illness meant key steps in complex reaction calculations were unclear—one note read, "seeing the teacher about missed lessons is strongly advised."
In Year 12 Mathematical Methods, an over-reliance on notes and uncertainty with calculator skills slowed problem-solving under exam conditions.
For a Year 9 student tackling algebra, errors crept in when rearranging equations; "he made mistakes around equality signs," observed the tutor.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often hesitated to write out working for multi-step worded questions, leading to confusion and lost marks during time tasks.
Recent Achievements
A Park Ridge South tutoring session saw a Year 12 student finally start crossing out incorrect answers neatly, making it much easier to track errors and correct them—something he'd previously struggled with.
Another high schooler, after repeated confusion with calculator menus for statistics questions, figured out how to navigate directly to the right settings and now picks up small input errors himself without prompting.
Meanwhile, in Year 4, one student who used to rely heavily on her hands for basic addition has shifted toward mental strategies, finishing worksheets faster and explaining her reasoning aloud even when unsure.

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 Greenbank Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Parklands Christian College.
