I would say that tutors should be able to teach each student differently as everyone has different cognitive abilities. Being able to understand where their misconceptions and thorough explanations benefit students tremendously. Tutors should also like the subjects they teach in order to impart knowledge to the students. I am patient and always…

In my opinion, one of the most important thing a tutor can do is adapt to each student’s unique learning style in order to ensure that lessons are productive and effective. Moreover, tutors should also pay close attention to details and take the time to understand a student’s thought process. By doing so, they can provide the right guidance,…

Inside HerstonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Chloe worked on converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages as well as tackling introductory probability questions.

In Year 10, Sam focused on applying trigonometry to real-world problems and practiced solving simultaneous linear equations algebraically.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia explored genetics by discussing inheritance patterns and compared the processes of mitosis and meiosis using diagrams for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often forgot formulas for area and circumference, needing frequent prompts before attempting questions on circles and triangles.

In a recent algebra session (Year 9), she gave up easily when faced with expansion tasks, showing low motivation and reluctance to revisit earlier feedback or attempt corrections.

For a Year 6 learner, not writing out number sentences in fraction problems made it difficult for her teacher to follow her logic—missteps went unspotted until answers were checked.

During data analysis in Year 10, confusion about which values to use for mean and median led to repeated errors, as she avoided reviewing prior mistakes.

Recent Achievements

One Herston tutor noticed a Year 11 student who'd struggled with algebraic linear equations finally work through problems independently after two weeks of guided practice—a clear shift from confusion to self-sufficiency.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to avoid asking for help began proactively raising questions about concepts she found tough in class, showing new initiative and ownership over her learning.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student, once hesitant with fractions and decimals, was able to sort decimals and apply methods to different question types on her own during tutoring.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kelvin Grove State College.
