Geography Tutor Cleveland, QLD
A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for. The most important thing a tutor can do is broaden and enhance the knowledge of the students in a way they understand. Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my self and…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and find out what they are having trouble understanding and helping them to be more confident. Also, it is important that the student feels the tutor cares about their progress and will take their time to make things easier for the student to understand. I think my…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to participate in class activities outside of the tutoring session. My most valued moments of tutoring my maths student are when she came back to a session and told me that she participated in class discussions and answered questions in class. I believe it is…

In my opinion it is extremely important to ensure the learner knows that it is safe to not succeed at first as learning is a process full of unsuccessful attempts.This will allow students to participate fearlessly in a tutoring session. Building that trust and relationship with students is an integral part of tutoring. It will enable students to…

Trying to understand the student and their difficulty in a particular subject or a concept is crucial as only then the tutor can provide the help that their student needs. They also need to have a good and positive attitude to motive their students. I am very good with handling kids. I also love to learn and grow from my shortcomings or mistakes,…

Children would prefer a friendly environment where they can feel comfortable enough to ask questions and let the tutor know that they don't understanding anything. Students should be able to discuss thing with the tutor so that they can grasp the knowledge in the manner they want. I am very confident and I have a lots of patience when children…

Local Reviews

Amber is a brilliant tutor - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and well prepared for each session. She makes the most of the time and has a great way of explaining things and yet still ensures the student is thinking for themselves. Gareth is feeling much more confident now and we are really pleased that we have Amber as his tutor to help him be his best for his upcoming final year at school.

Inside SheldonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riya worked on decimal operations including rounding, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as tackling worded problems involving decimals.

In Year 10, Michael focused on bivariate data analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient and practiced note-taking strategies to help interpret statistical relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas explored applications of derivatives by graphing tangent lines and analyzing how changes in functions affect their graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student, tackling velocity-time graph questions, struggled to collect all relevant details before planning responses—"he missed information hidden in the question," one tutor noted, leading to incomplete solutions.

In Year 10, messy layout in algebra problems meant errors weren't easily spotted or corrected, so extra time was spent retracing steps.

A Year 7 learner relied on memorizing how previous fraction questions looked instead of understanding the underlying process; when faced with a new format, confusion set in quickly.

In each case, clarity and confidence dropped as tasks grew less familiar or required flexible thinking.

Recent Achievements

One Sheldon tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to rush through probability questions now consistently list all variables and formulas before starting, which has helped him avoid the errors he made in past assignments.

In Year 11 maths, a student who previously struggled with logarithms was able to clearly explain when and why to apply them, showing real understanding rather than memorisation.

For a younger learner in Year 4, addition and multiplication had been confusing, but she can now solve problems confidently and even knows when to use LCM or GCD—she finished her worksheet without hesitation this week.

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 Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Catholic Parish School.
