I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

I think that the most important thing an english 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…

Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

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 an english 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 actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

Local Reviews

Olivier has been a great addition to my daughter's learning and understanding of Year 12 Maths Methods. He has helped create her a much better understanding of the concepts and procedural methods involved to move forward with her knowledge and progress in this subject. He is organised, punctual and polite and my daughter's feedback is always positive following her tutorial's with Olivier. I gladly recommend his services as a tutor to anyone in need of same.

Inside AlbertonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Zara focused on statistics, learning to find the mean, median, mode, and range of small data sets using real class examples.

In Year 8, Mia tackled algebraic expressions and practiced solving equations for x through targeted worksheet problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Sam worked through trigonometry revision, including basic questions on angles and sides as well as an introduction to vectors and geometric transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student, when working on algebra and worded equations, tended to avoid showing all steps—this made it harder to spot where small errors crept in, as noted: "she skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 12 maths, one student hadn't completed Task 3 and needed to clarify assignment requirements with their teacher; this delayed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner was sometimes distracted during workbook tasks and required redirection before refocusing. These habits led to repeated confusion or incomplete assignments rather than building confidence through independent problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Alberton tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with the substitution method now confidently switching between methods when solving simultaneous equations, even correcting earlier mistakes without prompting.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who previously guessed answers during statistics work is now carefully explaining her process—taking time to show her working for each step before moving on.

Meanwhile, two younger students have started insisting on trying themselves first before asking for help, showing a clear shift from passive listening to eager problem-solving.

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 Carbrook Animal Assisted Learning Centre.
