The most important things a tutor can do are: 1. Provide a safe and supportive environment where the student feels comfortable sharing their concerns. This helps to identify the student’s preferred learning style and areas to focus on. 2. Give the student the tools they need to learn on their own. Instead of just giving solutions, a tutor…

it Is really important to sit down with the mentee and work out what they want and what you can give. While tutoring is about straight knowledge transfer, but I believe mostly its about seeing strengths in that particular tutee and making them aware of those strengths. I respect my student individuality, leadership style and goals regardless of…

Become their guide to doing well in whatever subjects they require help with. This can come with making notes after every lesson in what the students weaknesses and strengths are, that can help support them through the next lesson or at school. As well as to prepare students for exams and assessments the best way tutors can, as they have also once…

The most important thing is to probably instead of spoonfeeding the information to the student, communicate the importance of practice, discipline and routine. Moreover, to guide them along with their curiosity instead of just giving them questions to do. I think my adaptability would be useful for fields that I might not be as experienced at. My…

The most important things I do as a tutor are listening carefully to understand where a student is struggling, explaining concepts in a way that matches their vocabulary and thinking style, and building the right mindset. Knowledge alone can only take a student so far - confidence in their own understanding is what truly helps them improve and…

I think the most important thing is helping build their confidence, not just their knowledge. A tutor should make sure the student actually understands the content, not just memorises it, and create a space where they feel comfortable asking questions. It’s also important to adapt to how each student learns, because not everyone understands…

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

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.
