I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to encourage them to express their own opinion and be confident in themselves. Providing quality feedback on their work and consistent affirmations are also considered important to me as this not only improve the students' academic result, but also their overall personal growth…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is to make them more passionate and confident about their learning, as this will transition well past the tutoring period and into their future academics. Additionally, a tutor should help the student build good study habits that they can maintain independently. I'm very patient with people,…

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…

A good tutor will be able to make a connection with their student, and can understand their individual needs as a learner. I think that if a tutor isn't able to do this, then any knowledge they possess can't be effectively taught. I think a good tutor should also have a strong grasp over whatever they teach, and being able to teach is the biggest…

I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student include empathising with their current knowledge and instilling not just a higher level of knowledge, but tools and habits to improve autonomously. The ability to empathise with the learning style of the student as well as their current level of knowledge is imperative to being an…

One of the most important effects a tutor can have on a student is bringing out their confidence and have their student feel supported. Throughout my experience as a tutor, many students have said "I'm stupid" and this falsehood is holding them back. They lack confidence in exams and don't exercise sufficient effort for assignments, because they…

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

First and foremost I think that is having patience. People do not all learn in the same way and as I mentioned before, when teaching somebody, half the job is just figuring out the best way to frame it, something which requires patience and perseverance. What is also important as a tutor is not just telling students what they need to know, but…

Also, the possibility of giving online lessons might be a good idea for the student to schedule the classes.

There are numerous things a tutor should be able to do.

I believe that if a tutor is kind, patient and shows respect, they will see greater results with their students. In order for effective learning, it is paramount to create a distraction-free, positive environment, and prepare well-thought out lessons ahead of time. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, I think that if a tutor is ready to motivate,…

Inside Dutton ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby focused on calculating surface areas of prisms and using the Pythagoras theorem to solve for missing dimensions in measurement problems, working through homework exercises.

For Year 11, Tahlia practised identifying parameters for trigonometric sine and cosine graphs and interpreting these from both equations and graphical representations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Lachlan tackled integration of functions involving general rules for sine and cosine, as well as evaluating trigonometric functions at various angles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student skipped over back-checking algebra steps in index laws—"she almost solved the question perfectly but simply made small algebraic errors," a tutor noted.

In Year 8 mathematics, written work sometimes stayed in the head rather than on paper; this meant diagrams and step-by-step layouts were missed, making geometry problems harder to track and correct.

For a senior chemistry assignment, a student delayed starting until close to the deadline, leading to rushed planning and confusion between improvement sections.

These habits led to extra stress or lost marks that could have been avoided with clearer process routines.

Recent Achievements

A Dutton Park tutor recently noticed a big shift in one Year 11 student, who arrived with her assignment already attempted so she could target specific questions—something she never used to do.

Another high schooler who'd struggled with exam problem-solving was able to finish all her homework problems on her own and even caught minor errors without prompting.

In a younger session, a primary student who used to hesitate now read the next chapter aloud independently for the first time.

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 Fairfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brisbane South State Secondary College.
