To interact more with the student and make sure they are understanding things better and/or are facing any difficulties, but also appreciate them on their improvements and encourage to do better and never be satisfied with being average. I try to make sure the student is comfortable while interacting with me and guess where he/she is falling…

The tutor can do to his students is that guide them and make them learn the way that they're not pressured and relax so that they will look forward for my tutoring class not that they will drag themselves in my sessions. Learning in my class should be their comfort zones not to be pressured. My strength is that I graduated in an Engineering…

It is imperative for a tutor to know the students' weakness in order to be able to plan, practice, and implement the necessary actions/studies needed for the quickest and most effective improvements. As a tutor, I would label my friendliness and approachability as big strengths of mine for this will allow my students to get along with me easily,…

To prepare for class and constantly check up on their progress. Students often need help outside of class, which lots of tutors do not provide. I am always accessible outside of class hours, ensuring students get help whenever they need it. Another important thing is to motivate the student. I always felt inspired to study after my sessions with…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence that they can complete problems on their own and be successful in their studies. I remember how disheartening it was when I couldn't understand or effectively answer problems in school. Especially at a younger age, academic success is a value that…

If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

Inside ChelmerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily worked on long multiplication and division as well as applying decimals to solve angle problems.

For Year 8, James focused on plotting linear functions from real data and interpreting graphs in preparation for an upcoming assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sarah tackled line equations between specific points and practiced solving simultaneous equations using graphical methods.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's written solutions in algebra and equations were sometimes hard to follow, with working out scattered or missing—steps weren't clearly set out, which made it tough to spot calculation errors.

In Year 11, reviewing past test results revealed a tendency to focus only on familiar types of problems during revision, meaning feedback from more challenging questions wasn't acted on.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student tackling long multiplication often erased and rewrote work multiple times rather than moving forward after small mistakes, slowing progress through practice sets and leading to unfinished questions.

Recent Achievements

One Chelmer tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid complex graphing tasks now tackling line equations independently—she even asked for extra practice before her exam.

A Year 12 student, previously unsure about calculus, recently worked through derivatives independently and double-checked his solutions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger learner in Year 2 who struggled to identify letter sounds is now confidently sounding out the alphabet and only mixes up "J" and "G." Last session, he read an entire page aloud with just one correction.

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