A tutor must be patient as well as motivating for their students. They must be organised and have a well structured plan to support their students while still being open to their ideas and opinions. The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

Most students end up investing in a tutor as they have not been taught the skills to synthesise concepts and study themselves. My aim as a tutor is to inspire students to be independent learners by providing them with the supplies, support, and motivation to continue what they have learned by themselves at home. Tutoring only occurs for a short…

I consider that the most important thing a student can do for a student is to never give up on the student. There are downtimes and a loss of motivation.

Aside from teaching the content in an understandable and logical manner, I also think that a tutor should try to inspire a student to become a self-directed and motivated learner. Such a transformation creates the best performing students because they no longer overly rely on the tutelage of others. Rather, they learn to handle a variety of…

Inside CarraraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Fractions worked on recognising and comparing fractions, as well as finding a fraction of a whole number using practical examples.

In Year 11, Hamiltonian path and cycle problems were tackled along with Euler paths and circuits, focusing on understanding how to identify these in various types of networks.

Year 12 student covered Time Series Analysis, including mean-smoothing techniques and interpreting trends in real data sets for Unit 4 assessment preparation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for Economics struggled to finish assignment calculations and analysis, leaving sections incomplete. As one tutor observed, "she needs to go through the sources, complete analysis and the rest of the essay," which left her argument unsupported in drafts.

In Year 9 Mathematics, a student's messy handwriting and skipped mathematical signs ("+" or "–") made it hard to follow working out—mistakes weren't easily caught on review sheets.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling trigonometry hesitated to attempt harder questions without notes, slowing recall during timed practice. The unfinished work meant gaps lingered when new material was introduced.

Recent Achievements

A Carrara tutoring session saw one Year 11 student make a big leap in maths, moving from a 3/14 to an 11/14 on her latest exam after consistently recalling and applying tricky theory that used to trip her up.

In another high school example, a tutor noted how Sherisse now voices her questions openly during lessons instead of staying silent when confused—she's also begun organising her notes and homework much more methodically.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously hesitated with two-digit multiplication can now solve these problems quickly and accurately, even tackling long division independently by the end of the lesson.

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 Helensvale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Emmanuel College.
