The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is always starting by building trust and a positive relationship with the student. This way a tutor can keep professionalism and at he same time help a student not only understand content but fall in love with the content. My strengths as a tutor are being flexible and patient in dealing with…

Chemistry Tutor Westlake, QLD
A tutor can create impact through helping their student believe that their hard-work pays off regardless of how challenging they think a subject might be and by teaching them about learning methods that are scientifically proven to be effective, thus making them independent and capable learners. I'm capable of trying out various techniques to meet…

Understanding when they are struggling when they say they're fine or figuring the most effective strategy your student learns by.

If they know that I will be there week in week out for them they can rely on me whenever things do get hard at school, knowing I am there to help them. I am extremely patient with people when I am explaining stuff. If at first they don’t…

Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points.

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient. Patience is always ideal when tutoring as something cannot always be fully understood. Additionally I have been told I’m very understanding…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Imparting an enjoyment of learning something new.

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

Claire has been absolutely fantastic with Orlando. He actually understands what's going on now and for the 1st time in 2 years is confident going into this next exam.
Jocelyn, Jindalee

Inside JindaleeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily focused on converting between millimetres, centimetres, and metres and practised measurement problems involving unit changes.

For Year 10, James worked through sketching quadratic functions using turning points and factored form, along with solving quadratics by factorisation and the quadratic formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia tackled derivatives of polynomial and non-polynomial functions as part of her PSMT assignment, also discussing how to structure each sub-heading for clear assignment presentation.

Recent Challenges

Forgetting to bring the school homework book home repeatedly in Year 7 meant missing vital practice and made it hard to pinpoint specific struggles.

A Year 10 student had not completed assigned homework and often could not recall classwork details. "Writing any questions in a separate book and bringing them home should help solidify understanding," noted one tutor.

For Year 12, missing regular revision led to gaps in applying formulas during functions tasks; over-reliance on the graphics calculator limited confidence with graph plotting by hand. This left key skills unpracticed when needed most.

Recent Achievements

One Jindalee tutor saw a big shift in a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—now, he's speaking up whenever unsure and requests to go over tricky concepts again.

In another session, a Year 10 student took real ownership of her chemistry work: after the first question was explained, she completed the next two independently with only light guidance and then tackled later problems entirely on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often guessed answers now labels all her maths work neatly and double-checks for errors before moving on.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jindalee State School.
