Biology Tutor Chapel Hill, QLD
The most important skill a tutor can do for a student is help them develop the skills to tackle questions independently rather than simply telling them the answer. I listen to the student and try to explain concepts in ways the student can…

Biology Tutor Seventeen Mile Rocks, QLD
I'm convinced learning is an ongoing process and as a tutor, I hope to contribute the community by making a difference in the lives of young people. For me, this involves encouraging others to learn as a passion rather than an obligation, so that others can also love learning as I do. I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points. Another thing is to pass on the passion towards the subject to motivate students to push on. Straightforward, calmness and knowledge are my strengths. I'm passionate about science and…

I feel above all, it is important for a tutor to invest in the success of the student. to make sure that the student not only walks away with an understanding of the concepts being taught, but to make sure the student is empowered with the ability to be able to carry out that skill both in class and in an exam type situation. I think my hard work…

Biology Tutor Indooroopilly, QLD
I tutor on the principle that any student requires three things above all else when learning; 1. Knowledge that is reliable and understandable. 2. Patience in self and most importantly from myself. 3. Support from all parties involved so they're able to progress when learning and feel comfortable in the teaching space. This allows me to…

Biology Tutor Toowong, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is tailor their lessons to the student's learning styles. For example, while a tutor may prefer to teach visually, a student may learn best by verbal explanations, so it is important for a tutor to put the needs of the student before their own and show adaptability in doing so. Additionally, a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide constant attention, care, and patience. Thinking back to how I was back in high school, learning can be a long and difficult process, and all my positive experiences in school included supportive, kind, and patient teachers. I believe that as a tutor, creating that environment for…

Imparting an enjoyment of learning something new. I am only with the student for a short time compared to their time in school, so increasing intrinsic motivation to learn has a much greater effect in the long run, as well as decreasing the chance of burnout due to stress in the higher grades. Being able to engage a student through different…

We had a fabulous experience with Richard! He was very engaging and my son listened and did the work.

Inside PullenvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella focused on strategies for mastering higher-number times tables and worked through decimals, percentages, and fractions using visual aids.

In Year 10, Zoe revised her math test to address errors with compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sanvi practiced differentiation techniques including the product and chain rules in Math Methods, then shifted to Chemistry where she refined her rationale for an experimental assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, a student repeatedly substituted subtraction for addition and struggled to combine multiplication and division in multi-step problems; as one tutor noted, "she hadn't really internalised the strategies" until given extra support.

A Year 10 student arrived without her homework book multiple weeks in a row, which made it difficult to track progress or address gaps—leading to confusion when switching between fractions and decimals.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student submitted written reports late and with unclear structure, prompting feedback: "She seems to have a difficult time understanding how to plan her report."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pullenvale noticed that one Year 5 student, who previously needed reminders for multiplication strategies, now recalls and applies them independently—she recently managed fraction addition with different denominators without hesitation.

In high school, Zoe has made a clear shift from confusion to mastery: after struggling with geometric sequences earlier this term, she got a tough sequence question correct on her non-calculator exam and confidently redid similar problems.

Meanwhile, Sanvi has begun tackling chemistry assignments ahead of schedule and is now connecting concepts between topics without needing prompts—last session, she attempted every practice exam question on her own initiative.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pullenvale State School.
