First of all, seeing improvement in the grades is one of the important aspect. Although it is important, I would also want the student to feel safe to ask me any questions to allow them further understanding in the contents they are working on. For me, I consider "learning fully and safely" as the most important point. This will provide them the…

A tutor must be approachable and be able to relate to their students. Connections need to be formed so optimal and enjoyable learning can occur. I have a very relaxed and patient demeanor which helps when dealing with all kids. I can also relate very well to child. Another strength I have is that being a rare male pre-service teacher in the…

Tutor Brisbane, QLD
I think understanding each student is an important part to tutoring, and being able to motivate each student into learning for themselves should be the ultimate goal for any teacher. I've had some teachers that did that for me and I have them remembered always. I think students would like me. I'm easygoing and try to make the content appealing,…

For it's most important for a tutor or mentor to encourage asking. You won't know anything unless you ask for it. More importantly, this builds a person's confidence, which is especially helpful in succeeding. My strengths as a tutor are patience and perseverance. I do not stop until the end goal is achieved. I persist as necessary to succeed, not…

I believe instilling a love for learning is the most important because I believe that knowledge and education is the key to leading a happy, healthy and successful life. I believe that self-motivation is the best form of motivation which generates the best long term results and is the best thing you can encourage a child to utilise. Therefore,…

Tutor Highgate Hill, QLD
Be a calming presence. Learning something is difficult, and there is enough pressure and competition at school already. A tutor should provide a comfortable environment for a student to learn at their own pace without feeling inadequate or behind I'm patient, and I also try and make my teaching as real world applicable as possible - it helps the…

I think the most important thing is helping build their confidence, not just their knowledge. A tutor should make sure the student actually understands the content, not just memorises it, and create a space where they feel comfortable asking questions. It’s also important to adapt to how each student learns, because not everyone understands…

Instil confidence, teach problem solving and critical thinking that can be applied across all academic areas, and encourage resilience when students are struggling, reiterating that it is okay to not understand straight away and that persisting is the most important thing. Determining why and how a student may be having trouble with a concept, and…

Inside HendraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily practised fractions, multiplication and division, as well as exploring highest common factor (HCF), lowest common factor (LCF), and basic percentages through real-life word problems.

In Year 9, Josh focused on solving simultaneous equations and quadratic equations using algebraic techniques.

For Year 11, Jackson worked through the Sine and Cosine Rule for non-right angled triangles and completed assignment tasks involving graphing exponentials.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student avoided writing out full working in complex algebra, which led to small but persistent sign errors—he skipped showing steps in factorization, which hid mistakes until the final answer.

In Year 8, another student's worded problem solutions were hard to follow due to disorganized layout; steps were jumbled and sometimes missing.

A Year 5 learner lost confidence after making mistakes in mental arithmetic and hesitated to trust their own calculations during multiplication drills.

When feedback was provided on a draft assignment for a senior student, notes weren't consistently applied before submission, leaving repeated gaps unaddressed.

Recent Achievements

One Hendra tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who previously lost marks for rushing assignments; this time, she set out her maths answers methodically and explained each step, leading to fewer careless errors.

In Year 8, a student who once hesitated to ask for help now regularly checks their reasoning on challenging geometry problems—she'll pause and request clarification instead of guessing through the question.

Meanwhile, a younger learner in Year 2 grew comfortable reading numbers up to 40 aloud and has started initiating conversations during lessons without prompting, which is a first for him.

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 Hamilton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hendra State School.
