Science Tutor Salisbury, QLD
I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

Science Tutor Oxley, QLD
Encourage, inspire and guide. Without these 3 things, the students will not progress well through content. Definitely the fact that I am quick to find a new way to explain things as well as being proficient in maths and…

Science Tutor Underwood, QLD
Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them. Some of my strengths would…

We're very happy with Ashi. She has helped Claudia a lot. She feels that she has almost caught up to her class again. Ashi has done a very good job.

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.
