It is imperative for a tutor to know the students' weakness in order to be able to plan, practice, and implement the necessary actions/studies needed for the quickest and most effective improvements.

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them.

Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set. By giving students the tools to succeed but letting them work through the problems first, it allows them to put forward any errors or miscommunications, which can then be…

The most important you can do for a student is to know their abilities and work their capabilities to make them better at the subject they're trying to get better at.

A tutor can do a lot for a student. But I feel like the most important thing that can be done is to change the idea of a negative notion about a subject in the students mind. Attitude plays a key role in learning, and diminishing that fear, and giving the student confidence can really change their entire interest and perception about that certain…

To be the light that guides someone towards the right direction is one of the most noble things one can do. In addition to being this light in a student's life, a tutor shares the lamp of knowledge and thus helps him/her come one step closer to his/her goal.

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.
