In my opinion, the tutor's responsibility is to reaffirm the knowledge the student has already gained in school or help those who are behind. Considering this, I would say the most important thing is to understand and be patient with the student and help them to progress step by step.

By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…

Inside BulimbaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked through long division with and without remainders and practised adding and subtracting mixed numbers, sometimes using number lines for clarity.

In Year 10, Olivia focused on linear algebra—specifically simplifying and factorising like terms—and also tackled worded problems from her textbook to apply these skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Rebecca explored long division of polynomials and began investigating how derivatives can be applied in various function contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, one student relied heavily on mental calculations during proof questions, making it difficult to identify and correct errors; as a tutor noted, "not speaking aloud his working made it harder to correct."

Another senior student struggled with completing homework due to assignment overload, leading to gaps in algebraic foundations.

In Year 8 mathematics, forgetting to write all working steps resulted in avoidable errors with fractions and long division.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student sometimes confused perimeter and area but persevered after pausing to review diagrams—missteps that slowed progress through new geometry material.

Recent Achievements

One Bulimba tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now openly requests help when stuck on polynomial long division, leading her to solve most problems independently by the end of the session.

In a senior Chemistry lesson, another student moved from confusion about stoichiometry to completing multi-step calculation questions with minimal prompting after initially needing support each step of the way.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with setting out fraction problems is now consistently organising his work neatly and double-checking answers without reminders—he finished all ten practice questions accurately in one go.

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.
