Being a guide and a friend to a student. I myself was not good at maths in my childhood but the way I saw it later made me love it and I want to share that perspective with others, I have also seen and helped other peers of mine with their struggles in studies so I know many different reasons of children not liking their studies and I can help…

I feel the most common issue holding students back is a lack of confidence on their own ability to complete their work to a level they would find satisfactory. I feel then as a tutor it is most important that I help to develop a sense of proficiency within the student, at which point they will be better able to learn new content and apply it. I…

Similar to my response to the last question, I believe a tutor exists to personalise the teaching experience. What this means is understanding exactly what it is the student that gets the student stuck on a certain topic. It may be the whole topic in general or it may be that one small concept is throwing them off, but the most important thing a…

I believe from my experience that a tutor should create a vibe for the student while teaching so that the student feel comfortable and will feel free to ask any doubts without hesitation, Once the student gets a clear idea about any subject they will start enjoying studies. I have seen many people hate some specific subjects just because the tutor…

A tutor should understand the need of a student. A tutor should make a effort to reach the student and understand what the need. If a student is falling behind we as tutors need to understand the reason behind that. A tutor should also teach students to be independent and make sure they are able acquire the knowledge even in our absence. I can…

I’d say my biggest strengths as a tutor are adaptability, patience, and the ability to break down complex ideas into simple, relatable concepts. Since everyone learns differently, I try to adjust my…

Students must understand how the skills they acquire can be applied in the current world scenario. Secondly, recognizing that students are the future, it is essential to lay a solid…

Go at a pace in which the student feels comfortable, as going too quickly may be the reason they didn't understand it when their teachers taught them. Following this a tutor needs to have done some work on the subject before seeing the student as if the tutor doesn't understand what he/she is saying, the student has no chance. Also going through…

While one of the important roles a tutor plays is to help students in their understanding, I believe the most important role is to incentivise and motivate hard work, especially by setting a good example. Tutors can only be with their students for a few hours a week, so the onus is on the student themselves to get the hard work done. The…

For it's most important for a tutor or mentor to encourage asking. You won't know anything unless you ask for it. More importantly, this builds a person's confidence, which is especially helpful in succeeding. My strengths as a tutor are patience and perseverance. I do not stop until the end goal is achieved. I persist as necessary to succeed, not…

The most important thing is to probably instead of spoonfeeding the information to the student, communicate the importance of practice, discipline and routine. Moreover, to guide them along with their curiosity instead of just giving them questions to do. I think my adaptability would be useful for fields that I might not be as experienced at. My…

Instead, I try to recognize what each student…

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.
