If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

Not only academic but also personal growth is what I consider most important. While academic improvement is a key focus and often a priority for students and their parents, I believe fostering curiosity and building confidence should be integral to the teaching process. Tutors and teachers play a vital role in nurturing students, helping them grow…

The most important thing about being a tutor is definitely creating output for the student as effectively and efficiently as possible. However, this cannot be done in a way where the student feels obliged to come to your sessions to study. They must enjoy the environment so that they are doing this happily and to their own accord. I am persistent,…

I believe that the purpose of a tutor is to tailor their teaching as closely as possible to the needs of every individual student; tutors should never take a one-size fits all approach to teaching.

Local Reviews

Since Diali has started working with Brendan I have seen her motivation to engage in maths skyrocket. Prior, it took a great deal of coaxing to get her to do her homework, let alone to do anything extra relating to maths. Brendan has provided Diali with cause for a notable increase in her enthusiasm, sense of being encouraged, confidence and her incentive to work on her maths. She completes Brendan's assigned homework with enthusiasm (except when she is too tired at the end of the day) and she is practicing her times-tables with less resistance! She is looking forward to her next maths tutorial with Brendan. Brendan has a gentle, helpful and very supportive approach and he relates superwell to children. We are really so happy to have the support of Brendan as Diali's tutor.

Inside DurackTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amy focused on calculating area, perimeter, and volume for various shapes using her school assignment as practice.

For Year 9, Liam worked through coordinate geometry by finding gradients and distances between points, and also revisited the basics of Pythagoras' theorem with step-by-step examples.

In Year 10, Chloe practiced expanding binomial products and factorising monic quadratic expressions using different strategies to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, a student avoided writing out steps for rearranging equations, which led to missed sign changes and slower progress; as one tutor put it, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 trigonometry and matrices, over-reliance on calculators was noted—inputting values too quickly sometimes resulted in incorrect answers or overlooked order of operations.

For a Year 5 unit conversion task, incomplete working made it difficult to track where errors crept in during decimal rounding. The pressure to finish quickly often left calculations only partially checked before moving on.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Durack noticed a Year 10 student who previously took too long rearranging equations is now solving them much faster and even finished their last assignment with only minimal prompting.

Another high schooler has become noticeably more independent, recently choosing which rule to apply for unknown triangle sides on their own instead of waiting for hints.

For a younger learner, initial struggles with adding and subtracting integers have eased; the student now works through integer problems confidently and rarely needs help.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian International Islamic College.
