A tutor can engender a sense of self respect and a more positive attitude in students. They have the ability to increase their confidence in specific education subjects in a very competitive world. I believe tutors are able to lift the self esteem of students and remove that extra stress from the every day school life Being able to relate to the…

I believe the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to help them understand why concepts work, not just how to get the answer. By helping students develop effective learning methods and problem-solving strategies, they become more independently confident, allowing them to overcome academic challenges even without a tutor…

I believe a chemistry tutor have to encourage the student to think, ask questions, and work together with me in order to understand every problem clearly. In this way a student will be more confident and will build up a way of thinking that will be beneficial in the future life. Each student has a different way of thinking. As a tutor my job is to…

It is always back to the fundamentals. Without fundamentals, all attempts for learning anything else are meaningless. Being one of the pillars of support for a student is crucial for their own growth. In high school or well especially, year 12, is stressful, it is important for someone to be there to reassure them of any troubles that they may…

The most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is help them plan out their long term goals and break them down into smaller steps that can show quick progress and continue to motivate the student to reach their final goal. Ultimately, I seek to act as a mentor for students to not only assist their academic results but more…

The most important things include preplanning lesson ideas to ensure that the scope of the syllabus is covered and also ensure that time is not wasted if the student doesnt have any questions or tasks planned. Another important thing is to brush up on knowledge. Because with every year there may be different and easy ways to learn something and so…

Most students end up investing in a chemistry 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…

Make a comfortable vibe for the students when you teach them.

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.
