Psychology Tutor Forest Lake, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing.

Inside Springfield LakesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Lochlann focused on the sine rule for solving non-right-angled triangles and explored applications of Lincoln's index and Simpson's diversity index in Biology.

Year 10 Sofia worked on simplifying ratios and discussed her preferred learning approaches to tailor future sessions.

For Year 8 Arjun, the lesson addressed algebraic operations with fractions and surds, while identifying gaps in foundational algebra that impact understanding of exponential graphs and circle equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, over-reliance on calculators for simple arithmetic was noted: "I've suggested she rely less on the calculator for simple operations and exercise her mental arithmetic." This slowed progress in exam-style trigonometry and matrices tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled to break down multi-step algebra problems, leading to stress and unfinished questions—especially when translating word problems into equations.

In Year 4 English, one student repeatedly asked if answers were correct before writing them down, which delayed independent practice and undermined confidence during spelling exercises. When answers changed between verbal and written formats, confusion persisted.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Springfield Lakes noticed Iris is now calmly tackling multi-step calculus problems after previously getting flustered and losing focus—she recently completed all her chosen exam questions with only minor hiccups.

In Year 9 maths, Hannah moved from confusion about bearings and navigation to independently solving complex sine rule questions by the end of her session.

Meanwhile, Caleb in primary school surprised his tutor by reading a new passage aloud without fidgeting or zoning out, then answering every comprehension question correctly and pronouncing newly learned words accurately.

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 Redbank Plains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Springfield Lakes State School.
