Biology Tutor Yorkeys Knob, QLD
I believe that building a students belief in themselves and their abilities combined with developing their set of strategies for dealing with unfamiliar problems are the greatest things a biology tutor can give their students. Establishing rapport with students is my greatest strength. Having 14 years experience as a principal and classroom…

Biology Tutor Trinity Park, QLD
Tutoring is essentially an aid for student's learning in schools. The most important thing that a tutor can do is to ignite students' passion for learning. This can be acheived through helping them with questions and concepts that they find confusing, guiding them to develop their own problem solving strategies and most importantly growing their…

Biology Tutor Smithfield, QLD
A good tutor will help students develop the problem-solving skills necessary so that they are confident in their abilities when faced with a difficult question outside the session. A tutor should be there to guide the student towards their own conclusions, whilst ensuring all gaps in understanding are filled. Importantly, a tutor must provide a…

Local Reviews

Afolabi is an excellent tutor and a really polite young man. He is really helping Havana to understand what she is learning in class, turning the lightbulb on for her. Havana enjoys his company and how he works with her and she is really happy, as am I. We look forward to continuing with him.

Inside Yorkeys KnobTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Layla focused on reading analogue and digital clocks and converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time, alongside subtraction with decimals and multiplying three-digit numbers.

In Year 9, Sophia worked through simplifying index laws as well as expanding complex algebraic brackets and solving equations, using a mix of revision questions from recent school assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Will tackled linear equations and practiced solving simultaneous equations by both substitution and elimination methods.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student did not complete several assigned homework tasks, which slowed progress in understanding algebraic sign changes and factorising.

As one tutor noted, "she could not finish her assigned homework again," making it difficult to address recurring mistakes in graphing and coordinates.

In Year 10, a student lost a previous homework sheet and had to spend the lesson redoing old work rather than moving forward—this meant key formulas for area versus perimeter weren't consolidated.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student's assignment required minor formatting corrections because unclear layout made it harder to interpret calculation steps under time pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Yorkeys Knob tutor noted a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with complex assignments now takes feedback on board, revises her work, and applies changes independently—something she found daunting last term.

A Year 9 student started bringing in her own practice questions to sessions, showing new initiative and asking for help on specific topics rather than waiting for prompts.

Meanwhile, a primary student who struggled to stay focused during lessons managed an entire session without distraction and completed all set tasks with just occasional support. Last week, she even finished all ten subtraction problems without needing reminders to stay on task.

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 Smithfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yorkeys Knob State School.
