Believing in the student and knowing them well is extremely valuable. If you are aware of a students particular learning style and their struggles and strengths then it will become easier to cater for their needs and to adjust instructional strategies to make learning more accessible. It is also important for tutors to know the content and be…

Tutors are there to motivate a student to achieve greater outcomes in life, principally in the area of academic study.

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling.

Helping the student not only improve their studies, but learn how to better study and learn independently when at home/in school.

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

Local Reviews

I have to say though that the coach you put me with -- Ali, was really great!
Laureen, Chermside

Inside ChermsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Matilda worked on converting fractions into decimals and dividing whole numbers by fractions, using visual aids to support understanding.

Year 10 student Brodie focused on networks and financial maths, applying concepts through assessment tasks and targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Stephanie reviewed index laws alongside algebraic skills like grouping like terms and expanding brackets, with extra time spent refining responses for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly lost her formula "cheat sheet" before tests, making last-minute revision stressful and undermining her confidence with unfamiliar questions. "She looked up formulas on Google instead of practicing recall," noted a tutor, so memorization didn't improve for test day.

In Year 11 Maths, messy or incomplete class notes meant key methods were forgotten by the next session—without periodic review, foundational skills slipped away when harder problems appeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student hesitated to attempt new types of questions independently, requiring step-by-step guidance and losing time whenever instructions changed mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Chermside tutor noticed that Claudia, a Year 10 student who used to hesitate and rely heavily on guidance, now works through most maths problems independently and only seeks help for particularly tough questions.

In another session, Jackson, a high schooler, was able to use the Talk Aloud strategy to clearly explain his thinking in algebra—previously he'd struggled to verbalise his steps or ask for clarification.

Meanwhile, Matilda in primary school has started finishing creative writing tasks more willingly and even sticks with difficult exercises until completion, rather than giving up when she gets stuck.

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 Chermside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wavell Heights State School.
