The most important thing I think a tutor can do for a student is to instil in them a good approach to learning through teaching them practical techniques to work smarter and get more out of the effort that they put into the subject. Demystifying task sheets for a student and teaching them how to manage their time and develop a good working…

Tutor Carindale, QLD
I think that being able to just help a student with whatever they ask and helping them to improve is the most important thing. Even if their not doing super well, I think that as a tutor if you can help them with just improving and if they can see that improvement, then I've done my job as a tutor. Furthermore, I think its important for a tutor to…

Inside LotaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised multiplication facts for 2, 3, 5, and 10 and solved true or false statements about these tables.

Year 10 student Sam worked on **quadratic equations** and explored exponential functions and their graphs to strengthen algebra skills.

For Year 11, Mia focused on arithmetic and geometric series, tackling sequence questions using **formulae and diagrams** to visualise patterns.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was often eager to "rush through" addition and subtraction tasks, which led to skipped steps and confusion between operations—"Lucas sometimes draws an extra circle or misses one because he is really fast," noted a tutor.

In English, another child hesitated to read aloud challenging words, preferring comfort-zone vocabulary over unfamiliar terms; this reluctance limited confidence growth during reading sessions.

For a senior student in data handling (Year 10), plotting graphs became difficult when they forgot to double-check bracket placement in formulas, leading to incorrect results that had to be retraced from scratch.

Recent Achievements

A Lota tutor recently noticed Ruby, a high school student, now applies the seasonal index formula independently to identify trends—something she previously needed step-by-step guidance for.

Isaac, also in high school, was able to graph exponential functions on his own and accurately predict their behavior after struggling with this abstract topic just weeks ago.

In primary sessions, Lucas began asking for help when he didn't understand subtraction with borrowing rather than quietly guessing—he then completed all his subtraction exercises correctly without prompting.

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