I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for their student is remaining patient and continue to persevere with the content. In my experience, if I didn't understand a concept or was struggling with a question, it was extremely helpful when my tutor continued to talk me through the topic and didn't get frustrated at me for not…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care. Also, a tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing some…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time.

Local Reviews

Georgia is absolutely loving her tutor, I am very impressed with her myself, she is a lovely young lady.
Nicole, Gulfview Heights

Inside Gulfview HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Kiran tackled quadratics by sketching graphs and practising factorisation methods, focusing on solving for x.

Year 10 student Ava reviewed key finance concepts, working through simple and compound interest as well as superannuation calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Sam worked on understanding common unit fractions and calculating discounts in real-life money problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, Joanne sometimes skips writing out her working, which made it harder to spot where sign errors crept in during algebra and fractions.

In several senior lessons, she hesitated with questions that were worded differently from those practiced—leading to confusion about what the question actually required.

At a primary level, homework was often incomplete or forgotten ("forgets to do homework"), and work on time-telling tasks showed repeated errors when minutes varied (e.g., moving from 5:45 to 8:15).

These patterns left gaps unaddressed before new material arrived.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Gulfview Heights noticed that Joanne, a Year 10 student, now chooses the right factorisation technique on her own and corrects small mistakes as she works—just weeks ago, she'd hesitate and wait for prompts.

Another high school session saw Joanne applying new finance formulas straight after learning them, moving from confusion about simple versus compound interest to solving real-world problems without extra help.

In a primary session, one younger student who used to rely heavily on hints now reads out loud independently and can spot her own errors before the tutor steps in.

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 Para Hills Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gulfview Heights Primary School.
