Tutor Logan Village, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to go out of his/her way to make sure a student succeeds. For example, by making sure the student understands the material by either using different methods to convey key ideas or for the student to have constant interaction to the tutor and not just during the allocated tutor time. I…

I believe two of the most important things a tutor can do for a student are help them gain some new insight and understanding into a subject, as well as try to inspire a genuine passion for the topic. As a tutor, I believe my one of my strengnths would definitely be my intense love of English. I'm also extremely time efficeint and organised, and…

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…

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…

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…

Be there for them. Even if they don’t understand the work after multiple attempts just being there to remind them that it’s okay and that it will come to them keeps them motivated and hopeful rather than feeling like giving up.

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

Inside BuccanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jessica practised adding and subtracting decimals, as well as converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

For Year 10, Olivia worked on solving logarithmic equations using log rules and rewriting square roots as powers, while Ethan tackled quadratic equations with a focus on factorising.

In Year 11, Samuel revised derivatives from first principles and applied the index laws to algebraic expressions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student skipped the assigned maths homework and had not started a key assignment; as noted, "needs to prioritize his maths assignment more."

In Year 7 algebra, another relied heavily on worked examples rather than attempting new problems independently—this slowed progress with rounding and multiplication.

One senior student completed a practice test but struggled to manage time effectively under exam conditions, relying on the tutor for guidance instead of working through questions solo.

In primary maths, homework was sometimes claimed but not actually done; this became clear when division errors kept recurring during warm-ups.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Buccan noticed one Year 8 student who, after struggling with statistics early on, now tackles mean, median, and mode problems with minimal prompting. Just last session he independently identified the next steps for each question.

In a recent high school lesson, a student who used to wait for hints during algebra practice is now completing all assigned tasks without help and even asks for extra challenge questions when time allows.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student surprised her tutor by talking through her addition aloud—something she was hesitant to do before—and getting almost every answer correct during their latest session.

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