Tutor Arundel, QLD
Firstly, I feel like connecting with a student is a big thing in tutoring as if you understand your student, you can better suit their style of learning and allow them to understand the topic easier. Secondly, being patient with a student is essential as you cannot become frustrated they don't understand otherwise they will not learn anything at…

Tutor Pacific Pines, QLD

I am very passionate about Maths and enjoy doing it. I am very reliable, punctual, friendly and…

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…

Tutor Ashmore, QLD
Generally, students that seek the help of a tutor are struggling with the approach of their teacher to explaining a certain subject. This creates a cycle of feeling overwhelmed and avoiding the subject. I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them out of a never ending and unproductive cycle and introduce them…

Tutor Biggera Waters, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them the confidence to excel independently, without them, following the guidance they provide. I believe I am friendly, approachable and can teach in a way that is simple for the student to understand. I also see myself as honest and reliable, allowing students and parents alike to…

Tutor Carrara, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to change their perception of what their learning to not only just a task, but rather a hobby. I am an outgoing person, so I would have no issue in talking to the client. I am also renowned for being patient when I help people, which I believe is a necessity in…

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.
