What worked for me when tutoring and being tutored, was feeling safe. When a tutor creates a safe and friendly environment for their students, they will open up much quicker, and will feel safer to ask them questions. It will make tutoring feel less intimidating and more fun. I'm very friendly, and take things with a lighthearted approach, which…

I believe that the most fundamental role of a tutor is to build genuine connection with each student. This involves creating a comfortable and supportive environment that encourages students to think independently when tackling complex problems. The best way to learn is to have fun while find purpose and meaning in the content, thus a tutor’s…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't. Including the student in the lesson is very important. I used tutoring in highschool, so I have a good idea of how to frame my lessons and adjust…

I believe patience, respect and empathy is highly necessary to be able to connect with a student so that they can understand a difficult topic. Therefore, being able to frame a difficult topic in a way that is easy to understand enables the student to not only be confident in the subject matter but also allows them to find a way to approach the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to assess the learning pacing and style of a student beacuse in that way you can strategize the appropriate teaching styles that fits the student. Also being open minded and versatile is a big factor as different students exhibits different personalities in learning. As a tutor, I can say I have patience…

It is important to be cognisant that whilst clear explanation of theory is important to learning, an even more vital constituent element is allowing the student to develop their own intuition and understanding of a topic which can only happen through their own thoughtful practice. Our job as a tutor is not to tell students what to think but to…

Inside DraperTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student James worked through solving **simultaneous equations** and was introduced to trigonometry using right-angled triangles.

For Year 10, Priya practiced **critical path analysis** within decision networks and revised matrix addition and multiplication.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Marcus focused on **compound interest calculations**, including creating compound interest tables and rearranging related formulas for test preparation.

Recent Challenges

Did not complete any work on his assignment even though the due date is Monday next week.

In a senior class, one student relied heavily on shortcuts to answer compound interest questions but found this led to errors with more complex scenarios.

A Year 10 student skipped discussing unclear algebra steps with their teacher, so confusion persisted—could have discussed things with teacher more, needs ask more questions.

Missing homework and avoiding feedback left exam revision less effective and increased last-minute stress.

Recent Achievements

A Draper tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who used to rely on memorising formulas begin to confidently rearrange equations and choose the right formula for each problem, especially with compound interest—something he'd previously avoided.

Another high school student started actively setting out assignments independently, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance, after struggling to organise his work in earlier sessions.

In primary years, Tayla shaved her times tables speed from six minutes down to just two; she finished her last set without any hints and immediately asked for a more challenging round.

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 Albany Creek Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Samford State School.
