From my experience, the most important thing/skill as a tutor is to understand what students are not understanding. I believe that the most effective way to increase academic score/grade is to find the weakness/ topics that we do not quite get. Tutors should find those in students quickly and resolve it by teaching effectively. One of the biggest…

Aside from the obvious answer of improving a students mathematical ability, I think the most important thing that a tutor can do is inspire a love for the subject and the confidence not to be intimidated when encountering a new, difficult problem for the first time. I have a very patient and understanding personality, even outside of tutoring, and…

From my point of view, inspiring student motivation for learning and helping the student become an independent learner are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. When a tutor embodies passion for learning, students are more likely to have a positive emotional connection to learning. And in this way will inspire their motivation to…

It is important to build upon existing knowledge to explain other concepts and to avoid confusing my student. I think my strength is being patient with my student. I also believe I can encourage improvement and work on…

In my opinion, there are at least two things that a tutor can give some help for a student: 1.it is necessary for a tutor to teach students correctly, answer student's questions and response to student's enquires clearly and friendly. 2.It is important for a tutor to help students to figure out what is the most effective way of learning for…

I think a tutor can change your perspective and attitude towards dealing with challenges in life. I think it's important to highlight that if you fail at something you are not “bad†at it. You usually just have to approach the problem from a different angle and have the confidence to make mistakes and move forward. I've personally found that…

I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic.

Inside East BrisbaneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Yuvaan worked on blending and segmenting sounds to read CVCC and CCVC words, as well as counting forwards and backwards to 35 and identifying numbers before and after.

Year 8 student Dihen focused on writing complex sentences using conjunctions drawn from "The Lorax" and practiced multiplication arrays with place value blocks.

For Year 10, Olivia completed chemistry revision sheets covering balancing chemical equations and naming ionic compounds, using a mix of review quizzes and workbook activities.

Recent Challenges

Unprepared and missing materials delayed starting practice questions for a Year 11 chemistry student, and left key terminology (like 'subatomic particles') unfamiliar. This meant time in the session shifted from problem-solving to basic setup.

In Year 10 English, an essay draft was over the word limit and lacked clear topic sentences; when prompted, the student hesitated to revise independently, relying on feedback rather than initiating edits.

For a senior maths lesson, skipping written steps—"he needs to write the steps he follows"—made it difficult to check work later or spot errors during revision.

Recent Achievements

One East Brisbane tutor noticed a high school student who previously took twice as long on review quizzes now catching her own mistakes and halving her completion time—a real shift toward independence.

Another older student has begun editing English essays concisely, justifying points with stronger vocabulary after struggling to expand ideas before.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once hesitated to blend sounds is now reading fluently and segmenting tricky words with ease, even sequencing days of the week aloud without help.

In their last session, he chose which word tiles to use for new blends and read them out confidently.

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 New Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Anglican Church Grammar School.
