Ensuring a safe environment where they don't feel judged or embarrassed for not understanding something. I'm currently studying Mechatronic Engineering at QUT and I finished grade 12 with a VHA in Math B, C and Physics. I understand the content but I'm more interested in understanding what makes the content click with a student. Whether it's…

The single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. Everyone learns things at different rates and some things may come more easily than others. If the tutor becomes frustrated it only ends up discouraging and demoralising the student which further affects their study and confidence. Hence, it is vital for a tutor to be…

My teaching style is a self-made one which is partially inspired by my mom and my grandmother who were also teachers. * I try to simplify things as much as possible. In fact, i believe, the most difficult thing to do is to simplify something. * I always try to include real-life examples while explaining concepts which helps the students to…

Listen to feedback. Make sure they understand what they are being taught and determine if a new approach is needed. Sometimes the same information can be summarised and presented in a different way that is just easier for some people to understand. My own capacity for learning. Information retention and comprehensive analysis. Communication…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style. This can be achieved by spending some initial time to learn about the students subject weaknesses and strengths to understand how they learn and tailoring the teaching style to suit…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be able to help the student enjoy the subject and to help them to improve their grades. Also, in a subject like mathematics, a tutor must be able to help students to solve tricky and challenging questions. I will be able to do this since I try to teach students the different techniques needed to solve…

A tutor must not only teach the student the concepts that they are learning at the present time but also guide them in being able to learn efficiently for their work in the future. It is important to develop good habits early on so that a student may progress further in their learning. I believe that I am able to relate to students very well in…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student gain confidence in areas they might not have previously.

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school. University students face the same problem, so we know that not all days are great days. So as a tutor, you need to be supportive of your student where necessary, so that when…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Local Reviews

Since the v first session with Radu, we were all totally hooked! He is not just the BEST tutor but the most amazing person. Radu has the ability to calmly install confidence into his students and ensure that they fully understand all the concepts, not just learn them. He is kind, professional and a honest joy to have around ??

Inside RiverhillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cara focused on consolidating times tables (4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) through oral quizzes and practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions.

Year 11 student Sanvi worked on binomial probability (including mean and standard deviation for discrete random variables) and tackled calculus problems involving differentiation of logarithmic functions using the chain rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex reviewed integration by substitution in the context of probability density functions and revised polynomial division alongside applications of the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, several students hesitated to set out their reasoning clearly in integration and probability questions—one tutor noted, "he skipped stating 'by product rule' in test working," which made justifying answers harder.

In a Year 9 Chemistry session, the analysis section was left unfinished and required better organization before moving on.

For a Year 4 student, forgetting to keep a homework notebook meant tasks were often missed or incomplete.

During advanced trigonometry (Year 12), relying heavily on calculators for standard values led to gaps when tackling unfamiliar problems without technology in assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Riverhills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration by substitution, now independently applies the method to tackle unfamiliar calculus problems.

In another session, a high schooler working on chemistry assignments has started her work early for the first time and is now connecting concepts across topics without prompting—a big shift from previously leaving tasks until the last minute.

Meanwhile, Cara in Year 4 has moved from relying on notes for times tables to scoring full marks in quizzes purely from memory and now volunteers to try new problem types before being asked.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
