English Tutor Fitzgibbon, QLD
Be someone a student feels comfortable with so they can ask any questions they need without feeling judged. It is also important that the tutor can, of course, answer questions, as well as provide strategies to help the student become a more independent learner in the future. I find it easy to breakdown a concept and explain each step of the way.…

Inside GriffinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Poppy worked on understanding scale factors and calculating the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms, using class examples for practice.

For Year 10, Dirk focused on graphing linear functions from equations and revising index laws with flashcards to reinforce key concepts.

In Year 12, Ella tackled integration techniques including finding the area under a curve, building up her skills with worked examples from recent assignments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student struggled to complete homework consistently, leading to repeated gaps in remembering how to solve quadratic equations—"he often forgets how to do the questions in a later session."

For a Year 11 assignment, another was unsure about requirements but did not seek clarification from the teacher, which meant key parts were left incomplete.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes rushed through linear equations and missed sign changes; messy or incomplete working made it hard for her to check answers later.

In primary years, skipping written steps slowed down progress with times tables and worded maths problems.

Recent Achievements

One Griffin tutor recently noticed Dirk, a Year 11 student, making a real shift—after struggling with quadratic equations, he began solving problems with little assistance and even completed most questions on his own by the end of the session.

In another case, Ella (Year 10) started flagging whenever she was unsure about linear functions, instead of staying silent; now she insists on understanding each question fully before moving forward and tackles mini quizzes independently.

Meanwhile, Callum in primary school moved from hesitating over his 6 times tables to recalling them confidently and jumping into division questions without prompting.

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 North Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Griffin State School.
