The most important thing I think a tutor can do for a student is to instil in them a good approach to learning through teaching them practical techniques to work smarter and get more out of the effort that they put into the subject. Demystifying task sheets for a student and teaching them how to manage their time and develop a good working…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

A tutor can do a lot for a student. But I feel like the most important thing that can be done is to change the idea of a negative notion about a subject in the students mind. Attitude plays a key role in learning, and diminishing that fear, and giving the student confidence can really change their entire interest and perception about that certain…

The tutor should act like a robust bridge between the student and knowledge. He/she should guide the student in achieving erudition by showing the correct path. Tutors should also try to develop interest in students for subjects and it should not be confined to the prescribed curriculum. On the other hand it is prerogative for the tutor to realize…

Inside BalmoralTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lincoln worked on reading and constructing line graphs, along with measuring angles using a protractor.

In Year 10, Rebecca practiced solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and reviewed key properties of right-angled triangles.

For Year 11, content included bivariate data analysis—specifically drawing scatter plots to examine correlation—and also factorising quadratics by both the null factor method and perfect square formulas.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student working on mathematical induction and De Moivre's theorem tended to "try to do most of the work in his head," which made it difficult for tutors to spot errors or offer corrections. As one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 8, another student often forgot to write out full workings during division problems; this led to calculation mistakes that slowed progress.

A Year 5 student became confused between perimeter and area but persisted through challenges, sometimes missing key instructions due to not reviewing all question details—extra time was spent clarifying before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A Balmoral tutor noticed that Dyllan, a high school student, now asks for help with challenging polynomial long division instead of skipping tricky questions—he's grown more comfortable identifying where he needs support and working through problems together.

In another session, Clara made a shift from hesitating on worded quadratic problems to confidently drawing diagrams and solving them independently using new strategies she'd learned.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, one student who used to rush and miss steps in addition now slows down to check each answer before moving on, finishing her worksheet with only self-corrected mistakes this week.

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