To care about a student is the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student. I am observant. I realise that everyone learns differently and I can present many solutions and lines of working for a problem - as logic is what it takes for me to realise the solutions to…

Empathy. All of us have been a tutee at least once in our life. Our teachers, mentors, professors, guru, whatever you call it, gave us this for us to learn on the best possible way we can. Patience and compassion. Learning can be tough, especially to those having a hard time understanding it. Having patience is one of the strengths tutors need to…

The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the ability to be confident in their own knowledge to attack any problem head on.

Having been part of the first year of ATAR and achieving a…

The most inmportant thing is to set un students with the ability to critically thing and take time to fully grasp topics. There is no point in becoming only slightly knowledgable in a topic but rather have a deep understanding.

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them. Usually in a classroom, due to the overwhelming number of students, teachers aren't always able to help students individually. Therefore, sometimes a student that is struggling is only struggling because they learn better with…

If the tutor can give the student space to figure out the solutions to their problems and only step in once the student shows signs of struggling it is more beneficial for the student as this method will allow the student to learn to solve problems on their own.

Inside WhitesideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Tasha practised calculating surface area and reviewed a range of exam topics, reinforcing key geometry concepts.

In Year 11, Daniel focused on applying differentiation and integration in mathematics using worked examples to clarify the process.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily explored optimization problems in higher-level maths, tackling real-world scenarios and preparing for upcoming mock tests.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 maths, one student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions without guidance, often pausing mid-task and waiting for prompts; as the tutor observed, "I encouraged her to think independently before providing help."

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student resorted to guessing equations rather than applying learned methods, which led to confusion during assignment completion.

In middle years (Year 7–8), another student's working was disorganised when writing out questions—he missed steps and had trouble recalling formulas under pressure.

For primary level maths, frequent rushing caused repeated small errors in counting money and basic operations, slowing progress on new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Whiteside noticed that Kiana, a high school student, went from feeling unsure about negative indices to independently finishing those questions quickly and accurately by the end of her session.

Another high schooler, Clancey, who started out hesitant with trigonometric functions, was able to answer problems on his own after some guided practice—something he hadn't managed before.

In Year 3, Sophia used real coins during maths and moved from struggling with counting money to confidently completing worksheets while actually enjoying the process.

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 Strathpine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kurwongbah State School.
