Biology Tutor Pallara, QLD
I believe in preparing a student to handle situation which the world throws at any point of time. A child should be prepared for every situation and should develop organizational, time management skills. As a tutor, I work at these skills as much as at the curriculum to create confident, independent learners. I believe my greatest strength is…

The most important thing will be to help the student find his/her interest in the subject. If they don't believe they can do it or that what they're learning is actually beneficial, they're only ever going to treat it as something they have to do. It'll be difficult for them to reach their potential in the subject. My strengths would be ability to…

The most important things I can do for a student is teaching them how to learn and study more efficiently as those are more important than helping them to solve specific questions. I like to evaluate and assess the situation at first, which I believe is a strength as a tutor because it is hard to improve before knowing what one's weaknesses are.…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing.

Inside LarapintaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily reviewed solving simultaneous equations and practiced finding the equation of a parabola using given points.

Year 10 student Marcus worked on completing the square for quadratics and revisited factorising quadratic expressions with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Priya focused on probability concepts by constructing Venn diagrams and interpreting two-way tables to solve worded questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student left several homework tasks incomplete, particularly on trigonometry and algebra revision, which meant confusion lingered around positive and negative integers ("Homework needs doing and positive negative integers needs some work still").

In Year 11, over-reliance on the calculator during exams led to missed manual checking steps in fractions questions; as noted, "too reliant on calculator and does not try to work things out manually."

A Year 7 learner avoided attempting worded problems altogether, missing chances to build confidence with unfamiliar scenarios.

Meanwhile, a senior student began an assignment late, resulting in rushed planning and unfinished evaluation sections.

Recent Achievements

One Larapinta tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on assignments now takes initiative—last week, she completed most of her statistics project independently and even double-checked calculations before asking for help.

A Year 8 boy, who often guessed rather than asked questions, has started openly seeking clarification during lessons and was able to choose the right formula for surface area problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, in a recent Year 6 session, a student hesitant with algebra began tackling practice problems solo and correctly applied the distributive law on her own for the first time.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Stephen's School.
