The most important thing you can do for a student as a tutor is to give them the space the communicate. I think that in learning anything, you need to have an understanding of where others are coming from to be able to identify where they differ. This relates to tutoring because if there is a misunderstanding in a topic, I can identify where this…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure a student can fully understand topics that have previously been difficult. I do not think it is not enough for a tutor to simply talk through the topic with the student and expect them to understand it. A tutor should explain the topic to the student and then, after more study…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set. By giving students the tools to succeed but letting them work through the problems first, it allows them to put forward any errors or miscommunications, which can then be…

Support them. Sometimes students just need that boost of confidence and support to understand.

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them.

Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

As far as my understanding, as a tutor, he/she always needs to motivate their students to think more widely and creatively. It is true, initially, they will fail several times. Allowing them to do it, will build their confidence for their future, which will be eventually worth it for their life. As a tutor, I am always friendly, patiently try to…

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.
