Software Dev Tutor Toowong, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them to understand that the concepts and techniques they are learning are much less frightening and overwhelming when they are boiled down and simplified into manageable components. When tackling a problem, the more aspects we don't understand, the more likely we are to panic and deem…

Software Dev Tutor Brisbane, QLD
A tutor should make the student feel supported, understood, and confident. It’s not just about giving answers—it’s about helping them think independently, stay motivated, and believe in their ability to learn and improve. I’m patient, a good listener, and able to explain things in a simple, relatable way. I adapt my approach based on each…

I believe it's being supportive of the students' progress, no matter how big or small. Keeping track of their achievements and encouraging them makes the subject less daunting and more approachable. I believe I am able to teach children in a way that helps them understand a topic. This is due to how I learn topics myself, which involves learning…

A tutor can change a student's life in ways more than one. She can help them find their confidence. She can, also, help them believe in themselves and encourage them to ask questions they have been scared to ask in their classes. A tutor can help a student overcome their fears and help them improve. Apart from helping the students achieve their…

Not only help them with understanding the concepts they are struggling with, but to also teach them problem solving methods so that they can be independent in the future. I've always struggled with conventional learning techniques utilised by teachers (and even my lecturers now), and I've had to develop my own intuitions to the concepts that they…

The most important things to me is to engage, motivate and involve the student with their study. Too many students suffer from sidelining and taking a backseat in education due to a number of reasons. Hence, being able to link a student's passion by showing how education is not a blocker but rather an enabler for their curiousities and wonders is…

Go at a pace in which the student feels comfortable, as going too quickly may be the reason they didn't understand it when their teachers taught them. Following this a tutor needs to have done some work on the subject before seeing the student as if the tutor doesn't understand what he/she is saying, the student has no chance. Also going through…

Guiding them - not just in academics, but in other parts of life too. Making sure we're there for the student when they need it most is probably the most important part of the job.

Similar to my response to the last question, I believe a tutor exists to personalise the teaching experience. What this means is understanding exactly what it is the student that gets the student stuck on a certain topic. It may be the whole topic in general or it may be that one small concept is throwing them off, but the most important thing a…

I think understanding is the most important skill for a tutor to possess. Explaining a topic is one thing, but doing so at a level that is useful for the student is another thing entirely. As a tutor, you need to be able to understand what it is that a student already understands, what it is they are struggling with, and why they are struggling.…

The best thing I can do is to generate interest of the student in that particular subject. That way, the student can get his own way at that subject later on.

Baden is an excellent tutor, and he did great work.
Kat, Tarragindi

Inside TarragindiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions, and solved chance questions using probability expressed as fractions.

Year 9 student Chloe worked through algebraic skills including expanding brackets and factorising quadratic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ben focused on the quadratic equation alongside techniques for solving linear equations and manipulating algebraic terms.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on polynomials needs improvement checking back over her work to ensure she doesn't make simple mistakes—overlooking this step led to avoidable errors persisting through solutions.

In Year 9 algebra, one student hesitated to trust their own working, repeatedly questioning themselves and slowing progress; as the tutor noted, he doubted himself constantly which doesn't allow him to reach his full potential.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student's maths written work was sometimes unclear because numbers were placed in the wrong columns during multiplication—this made it harder for both student and tutor to spot where confusion began.

Recent Achievements

One Tarragindi tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from frequent mistakes in expanding algebraic brackets to completing every question correctly and without hesitation.

Another high schooler who previously struggled to structure persuasive writing now drafts PESTO paragraphs independently, remembering all parts without reminders.

In primary sessions, a younger student who once guessed during oral reading now pauses to sound out difficult words, showing more care and accuracy with each line.

The same student finished his latest story plan entirely on his own—something he'd never attempted before.

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 Annerley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wellers Hill State School.
