The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to be a platform that naturally promotes their own learning. A tutor must be able to nurture the student's understanding whilst not overpowering them. Asking questions to the student is a great way of doing this. Being nurturing allows the student to gain confidence in themselves…

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.
