Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for the student is to be flexible in their teaching methods and approaches to learning/teaching content as there are so many different learning styles out there and they are there with us because they may be having trouble with the teaching methods used at school. In those cases in particular, it's…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student. Not every child is able to cope with his/her studies and routine. Being a student of Psychology, I prefer encouraging and motivating them to do better each day. Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be a friend who will be patient and understanding. This helps the student relax and feel more comfortable during the tuition and so be able to learn better and absorb more information, going away with more.

Soheil is a fantastic help to our son Jack. They are currently working together on year 11 specialist maths which Jack has been terrified of. With Soheil's assistance Jack is able to progress through the challenging content with relative ease. Soheil assigns Jack with manageable homework assignments to consolidate knowledge of any new content and he also provides extra relevant tests and exercises to test Jack's competency.

Inside GavenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student India worked on addition using vertical form, telling time on analogue clocks, and building confidence with multiplication tables up to six.

Year 9 student Elahe focused on algebraic manipulation, especially isolating variables and solving simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods, as well as exploring Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometric ratios for finding side lengths.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lisa reviewed key biology concepts like biodiversity through calculating Simpson's Diversity Index and practiced structuring extended written responses for her assignments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often left homework incomplete and rarely revisited feedback, which led to persistent errors in graph interpretation—"she had some errors with interpretation," noted a tutor.

In Year 11 biology, referencing issues appeared when working on research assignments; confirming sources with the teacher was repeatedly necessary.

For a Year 7 maths student, messy data graphing and formatting made results difficult to follow during workbook checks.

Meanwhile, a primary learner struggled to start subtraction problems independently, freezing until prompted. This hesitation slowed practice and built frustration when faced with unfamiliar questions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Gaven recently noticed Lisa, a Year 10 student, starting to review assignment feedback before sessions and making edits independently—previously she waited for step-by-step help.

In Year 8 maths, Jade made a clear leap by working through the area of triangles and circles after struggling at first; by lesson's end, she could solve these without prompts.

Meanwhile, India in Year 3 has begun using vertical addition on her own during games—just weeks ago she needed reminders each time.

Last session, Lisa also investigated biology questions herself when unsure instead of waiting for guidance.

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 Helensvale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pacific Pines State High School.
