PDHPE Tutor Macgregor, QLD
It is vital that a tutor gives a student the feeling of being empowered - that they are part of assisting the student to develop their own skills that they can then move forward and use independently. Developing analytical ability, intellectual curiosity and a sense of achievement from even small study goals should be targets for tutors working…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them either to solve their queries and/or to further understand a topic in the respective subjects. When I first came to Australia, my English tutor was really helpful in answering my questions and equips me with basic skills for school such as grammar. My strengths are connecting…

PDHPE Tutor Calamvale, QLD
The most important thing is not solving student maths, english or science problems. It's providing a student with the critical thinking skills that can be applicable to school problems, and life after school. My stubborn nature does not allow me to give up on students nor the problems in front of them. I will stay with someone who is struggling in…

A tutor should make the student feel like there are no silly questions and they are simply there to support and guide them. It should feel like teamwork, both working to achieve a similar goal and help the student long term in their study. I am a good communicator and listener and feel I would be able to work with the student to help them…

PDHPE Tutor Boronia Heights, QLD
For me, a tutor isn't a person that helps a student achieve a high grade or even a grade that a student wants - although that is one characteristic of the job. For the most part, a tutor is someone who sharpens the pencil that the teacher has given the student, and shows them how to write properly. They erase the mistakes the student makes, and…

I believe that tutors should not regurgitate content students have learnt in class. Instead, tutors should guide students on how to learn more effectively through study tips.

The most important thing I can do for a student is adapt.

However, tutoring allows me to identify how individual students learn best and tailor the lesson accordingly. I am…

I think that a tutor should help foster understanding of difficult concepts so that the student is able to do the work themselves, rather than doing the work for them. Additionally, going over the work with them, and showing them how they can improve is important. Ensuring that they understand ways they can get better helps more than telling them,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being able to teach the student skills that can help them to utilise those skills not only in that particular topic but throughout their subjects. For example, showing a student to skim read to help them not only in English but in other subjects such as Modern History, Geography, Physics…

Inside DrewvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Zoe worked on linear equations, focusing on rearranging formulae and revising key algebra fundamentals, before being introduced to probability concepts.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled derivatives—both from first principles and using standard rules—and began applying these skills to physics assignments.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya focused on bivariate data analysis for her maths assignment, including drafting conclusions from scatter graphs and interpreting real-world correlations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on algebra often left steps unwritten, making it hard for the teacher to spot errors—"writing down steps and working out clearly for teacher to mark" was flagged as a next step.

In Year 12 Physics assignments, drafts were submitted with incomplete analysis sections; despite feedback, some written parts remained underdeveloped.

A Year 8 student arrived late to several lessons, losing valuable time and momentum ("came 10 minutes late for tutoring but spent 1 hour and 20 mins on lesson").

For one Year 11 Maths Methods student, not recalling previously learned rules slowed progress in revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Drewvale tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with calculus concepts, now applies derivative rules independently to exam problems with much less prompting than before.

In a separate high school session, another student took feedback from their last chemistry assignment and made clear improvements—this time handing in a draft that needed far fewer corrections.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 lesson, a student who previously hesitated to ask for help began raising her hand when stuck instead of guessing silently, which let her finish all her times tables exercises without errors.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stretton State College.
