The most important things include preplanning lesson ideas to ensure that the scope of the syllabus is covered and also ensure that time is not wasted if the student doesnt have any questions or tasks planned. Another important thing is to brush up on knowledge. Because with every year there may be different and easy ways to learn something and so…

Especially students who might not understand the importance of learning particular subjects or who have given up on their studies.

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse.…

Make a comfortable vibe for the students when you teach them. If the students feel comfortable to study with you and help them get interested in the subject, it will be easier for you to assist students in achieving their learning goals. And I believe that helping them make small improvements day by day is the most important thing a tutor can do…

I think a tutor can teach students some learning methods and think mode through which students can not only know how to solve a simple question but also apply these to the similar questions. First, I am a really patient and mild girl. If students can not understand what I teach, I will be very patient to teach them again and again. Second, I had…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work with them…

The first thing that a tutor needs to do is identify what the underlying problem is. It may be that the student has very weak number facts, has a negative attitude to the subject or requires a lot of visuals to grasp a particular concept. Once the tutor has identified the particular problems, they then need to tailor a specific individual program…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their problem solving skills.

I think that I am very good at meeting the…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student.

Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive.

It was lovely meeting Jessie yesterday and she and Mikayla clicked immediately. It was great to see Mikayla engaging so well when strategies were explained and we are sure they will work very well together.
Linda

Inside Biggera WatersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie worked on time conversions, including interpreting time zones, and practiced applying ratios to real-world problems.

For Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics—using sine, cosine, and tangent to solve right-angled triangle questions—and reviewed area and perimeter of composite shapes with guided examples.

Meanwhile, Suneha in Year 11 tackled advanced calculus concepts such as finding derivatives and applied these skills to sketching graphs of functions and identifying gradients.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student missed completing set algebra and ratios homework, which limited opportunities to reinforce multiplication and division skills—"he hasn't done the homework I gave on 10th."

In Year 10 trigonometry, another student skipped writing out equations, relying instead on mental calculations; this led to sign errors and lost marks.

A Year 11 learner struggled with time management in a practice test, leaving questions unfinished despite available minutes.

For a Year 7 geometry task, messy working and failure to show steps made it hard to catch mistakes during review, causing frustration when errors went undetected until correction time.

Recent Achievements

One Biggera Waters tutor observed a notable shift with a Year 10 student who used to stay quiet during sessions; now, he talks through his problem-solving steps out loud and asks for help when stuck, instead of just guessing.

A Year 12 student recently mastered analysing time series data—she's now able to interpret patterns independently after previously hesitating with this type of analysis.

In primary, one Year 5 learner initially struggled with basic time conversions but, after a few examples, began solving problems alone and even explained her reasoning as she worked through the questions herself.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Biggera Waters State School.
