The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to show the student that through perseverance they can be good at the subject, and to appreciate the subject's content for what it is. Another important feature is instilling confidence in the student as that is a skill that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. I am…

As a biology tutor, patience and friendliness should be values that are considered with the upmost importance. Being patient with a student allows them to learn in their own time, without any frustrated external pressures. A tutor that is friendly will often promote students to feel comfortable when asking questions and seeking clarification when…

A tutor should support the student’s individual learning style, set achievable goals, and help them develop…

Most students end up investing in a biology tutor as they have not been taught the skills to synthesise concepts and study themselves. My aim as a tutor is to inspire students to be independent learners by providing them with the supplies, support, and motivation to continue what they have learned by themselves at home. Tutoring only occurs for a…

A tutor can be good friends with the student first, learn about the students' hobbies, fear and problems relating to the subject matter and tailor a schedule that works best for that student. A tutor should be transparent, share their own experiences and be available to help the student. In addition, a biology tutor can be a counselor and a guide.…

First of all, communication is definitely vital in order to engage with tutees. Before any information exchange can take place, both parties should be able to relay their thoughts and express their opinions as clear as possible to avoid misconceptions. This skill is essential in the case of tutoring, as most of the knowledge exchange are only…

Inside MerrimacTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Sophie practiced **addition and subtraction with worded problems**, worked on recognising key phrases in maths questions, and used real-life scenarios to understand money calculations.

In Year 10, Milly focused on **financial maths topics such as calculating interest and monthly losses** through practice exam questions, as well as applying budgeting skills and interpreting transport timetables.

For Year 11 Mathematics Methods, Jonah tackled **trigonometry fundamentals including the unit circle and exact values**, plus finding equations for tangents to sine or cosine graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly left their textbook or charged laptop at home, which meant they couldn't access essential examples during lessons—this delayed progress on advanced integration techniques.

For a Year 12 student, notes show that time management was an issue: "Needs to focus more on getting ideas to paper as soon as possible to save the last minute rush."

In Year 7 maths, messy working and missing decimal points in financial problems made it hard to track errors; one session ended with confusion over change because steps weren't shown clearly.

When exam practice began, incomplete homework left gaps in problem-solving routines.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Merrimac recently noticed a big shift for Cameron, a high school student who used to hesitate with worded maths problems—now he's reading questions carefully, working out what's needed before diving in, and even tackling five practice problems a day on his own.

Mikayla (Year 11) finally grasped how to find the equation of a tangent line to sine and cosine waves by breaking each step down, which was tricky for her before.

In Year 3, Sophie has gone from needing lots of hints to solving addition and subtraction questions independently, even talking through her solutions aloud.

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 Mudgeeraba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's College.
