Tutor Eatons Hill, QLD
To instill confidence. During my school years I have found that many people do not believe themselves to be good at maths because it scares them. Before even trying to learn, they are convinced they can't do it, or it's too hard. My first aim would be to help students to comprehend that what they are trying to learn is not impossible, and that…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them with their current specific problems in a way that develops their ability to solve future problems independently. Not only does this help students with their current workload and grades, but it does so in a way that also develops their ability to learn and get good…

I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just to teach them content - its essential to help a student become more self-sufficient in the field they are studying, and to teach them how to learn more effectively. For example, when teaching a child mathematics, I view simply teaching the content as not enough, as if you…

I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be understanding and supportive when the student is struggling with the topic. This allows students to feel more comfortable and therefore willing to try harder to learn. Another important thing for tutors is to teach the student, rather than show the student. The goal for a…

As a tutor you can help kids feel more confident in school. I have many friends who struggled in school and weren’t ever given the opportunity to work with a tutor to improve.

It's crucial that tutors make students feel at ease during their sessions. I think giving encouragement to students when they achieve little things is very important. It helps them build self-confidence. As well as this, getting to know your students makes them feel valued and more likely to engage in the session. Encouragement played a massive…

Give them a fair go. Often students don't believe in themselves and their support systems may be limited, so, having someone who does believe in them and will work with them until they see success is very important, not only for their grades, but for their self esteem too. Being able to communicate effectively but also actively listen. Many…

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session. However, I also consider it useful that tutors help develop new study habits and introduce new ways to learn whilst tutoring in a way that the student…

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.
