I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence and independence in learning. It’s not just about giving answers, but helping students understand how to approach problems, think critically, and develop strategies they can use on their own. A good tutor creates a safe space where students feel…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to figure out the answers on their own rather than showing them the answers. As the quote goes " Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime." My strengths as a tutor would be the ability to break down complex…

Understand that there is many different learning styles and you may have to adjust for each student. Staying positive, and not letting the stress of their studies hinder their performance even more. I am a patient person, and always willing to explain a concept in as many ways as possible. I have experience and enjoy working with children.…

To ensure that learning is engaging, and independent but with support so that they can grow in confidence and require less assistance in their learning. Another important thing a tutor can do is ensure that the mental health of students are prioritised as this plays a large role in their enthusiasm to study and in a larger part of their life. My…

Most important things I would say would be to be encouraging and prepared. As I said students can feel discouraged sometimes, so I think being positive and patient so that they can have an open mind and have some resilience when content is hard is crucial. As a tutor I think one of my biggest strengths is that I am a student as well and have…

As above, affirming their limitations JUST AS MUCH as their strengths - affirm, affirm, affirm! I believe the most fundamental truth is found in admitting and celebrating weakness. I would prioritise my strengths as: - enthusiasm - pedantic attention to detail - strong synthesising skills and understanding across a wide range of…

Confidence that comes the succesful understanding of mathematic concepts not only makes current studying more rewarding but aids in future development. Particularly in mathematics were new concepts are constantly introduced, such confidence allows a student…

I think the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop an intrinsic passion for the content they study, and to assist them in finding methods of learning that make it easier for them to learn. I would rather not spoon-feed answers unless it is absolutely necessary, and would rather a student think critically…

Local Reviews

I would like to send a sincere thank you to your team for choosing Stefanie Palin into our home. My son, at first, was not keen to have a tutor. However, upon meeting Stefanie from the very first meeting he became keen to learn! Jared`s current maths school teacher has not been able to explain elements of trigonometry. However, after Stefanie showed him techniques he understood within minutes (I overheard Jared saying this). I have found Stefanie to be punctual, professional and very eager to help Jared learn and a lovely lady. If I hear of anyone needing a tutor I will not hesitate to inform them of your company.

Inside Moores PocketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Lucas practised **two- and three-times tables** and worked on adding three two-digit numbers, connecting this to basic multiplication strategies.

In Year 8, Emily focused on converting fractions to decimals and **adding decimals together**, with extra attention to real-world decimal problems.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Olivia tackled **perimeter and area calculations using diagrams**, alongside reading comprehension exercises linked to practical maths contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3–4 mathematics, several students struggled to maintain focus throughout lessons, especially towards the end—one tutor noted, "she needed a lot of encouragement to do questions near the lesson's end."

For another, avoidance of written working in favour of mental calculation led to repeated confusion between multiplication and division.

In English for Year 5, a student misplaced her homework book and delayed producing it until prompted, resulting in minimal progress during the session.

Reliance on memory aids or finger counting also persisted in basic arithmetic tasks; when confronted with more complex problems or word questions, confidence noticeably dropped and engagement faded.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Moores Pocket noticed Isla, a primary student, was able to redo a previous test and score much higher after working on her mistakes—she only missed one question this time.

In another session, Harrison (Year 10) demonstrated more independence by reading aloud from his report and self-correcting as he went, something he previously hesitated to do.

Ashlee (Year 7) recently achieved a perfect score on her spelling test after struggling with using new words in sentences; she now confidently uses them without prompting.

By the end of one lesson, Isla completed over 14 maths questions in just eight minutes.

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 Ipswich Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ipswich East State School.
