The most beneficial things a student can gain from a biology tutor is the ability to understand the problems the student may not be able to communicate or 'put a finger on', and then of course provide help that can be as clear as possible for the student. I can understand the problems the student may undertake but may not be able to communicate…

I think that the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help…

To foster the love of learning and aid in filling gaps where areas that need foundation is lacking. I am great at figuring out how students learn. This I believe is my best trait as a teacher. I thoroughly believe that learning stems of inspiration, passion and want in students. Bringing all those traits towards learning will foster love of…

Biology Tutor Belivah, QLD
While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As a biology tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced…

The most important thing is to understand the students misconceptions and how to correct the cause of that misconception. To ensure that their fundamental knowledge is corrected before pursuing more complex tasks. It is also essentially to show empathy and respect so they may respect you back and try their best for you. I am empathetic and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and understand their learning style as to understand how to best approach content and exercises. As a tutor, my strengths are that I'm patient and flexible, and I am open to trying as many different approaches and strategies as necessary to help get the content…

I think being positive and encouraging is the best thing a tutor can do. With previous students I have tutored, I found that many of them lacked the confidence in themselves, making them less interested in the work and anxious about assessments. But breaking the question/concept down, encouraging them to try, suggesting different methods to…

I believe that learning should be a fun process. When students are engaged in learning, they can actually retain what they have learnt during the lesson. Being encouraging helps students gain confidence in their abilities and increases their willingness to learn. It is also important for a tutor to guide the student in the right direction so that…

Inside WolffdeneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jake practised simplifying fractions and finding the lowest common multiple, then applied these skills to addition and subtraction of fractions using visual aids.

For Year 8, Emily worked through algebraic expressions—expanding brackets and reviewing homework questions on combining like terms—to build fluency in manipulation of equations.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah focused on trigonometry basics, including calculating unknown sides using sine and cosine rules, and solved several angle of elevation problems with step-by-step diagram support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was unable to complete a practice test under timed conditions, showing a reliance on tutor guidance for each question—knows the content quite well but is a bit unsure in his own abilities.

In Year 11, forgetting to use formula sheets and not reviewing feedback after errors led to repeated mistakes in trigonometry applications.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student did not attempt assigned maths homework and struggled to remember times tables without constant reference.

During long division exercises in Year 4, mixing up step order caused confusion, slowing progress when working independently.

Recent Achievements

One Wolffdene tutor noticed a Year 9 student who had struggled with multi-step algebraic equations is now independently solving sheets of bracket problems after just a few sessions—he's even begun to double-check his own work, which he rarely attempted before.

A recent high school session saw another student tackle percentages and rounding: previously hesitant, she aced every quiz question thrown at her and started using visual analogies on her own initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often rushed through math exercises has begun carefully verbalising each step aloud and highlighting keywords in word problems before attempting answers.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rivermount College.
