Science Tutor Carrara, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be attentive to their needs. Being able to listen and understand a student's struggle with learning can help guide a tutor in creating an effective lesson plan which will, in turn, produce a successful outcome. My strengths include: - my passion for wanting to help others - my highly…

Science Tutor Southport, QLD
Listen, and understand why they've been having difficulties in their study. Only then can the tutor truly be able to help the student get past these in order to make learning fun again. I'm a fast learner, excellent communicator and problem solver, and most of all, i take the time to listen in a calm and patient manner. I believe this last…

Joshua

Science Tutor Bundall, QLD
I think to build a relationship and to find the best ways for the student to learn. There are no right or wrong ways to learn and everyone is different, so finding that way is very important. I am a good listener and very patient as I know how hard things are to learn for the first time. I am also quite knowledgeable in most stem subjects, and I…

Local Reviews

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.
