For me, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build strong learning foundations and to motivate student to develop a good learning habits. Depending on the student, tutor is responsible to acknowledge student’s weakness and develop a systemic learning program that allows student to absorb understanding rather than…

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

Most importantly, the tutor has to do this in the attitude of a friend who genuinely wishes their student the best because they need to trust the tutor and know that they are there whenever they need them. I help my students to…

I believe that patience and consideration are the most important things, as it can take very different amounts of time for people to understand concepts that I may have learnt at a faster pace, or that another student learnt faster.

Acoording to me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make a positive impact on his life by not forcing the society standards for learning and growing as every child has a different mind and way of approach to things around them.

Go at a pace in which the student feels comfortable, as going too quickly may be the reason they didn't understand it when their teachers taught them. Following this a tutor needs to have done some work on the subject before seeing the student as if the tutor doesn't understand what he/she is saying, the student has no chance. Also going through…

In the teaching phase, student-focused teaching would be my method of teaching, which is to discover what the students need instead of dumping knowledge, whilst showing respect and understanding.

Inside MorningsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Rebecca focused on long division of polynomials and applications of derivatives to functions.

In Year 11, Daniel worked through solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and revisited area properties for right-angled triangles.

For Year 12, Michael concentrated on bivariate data analysis and time series analysis, including calculating moving averages, as part of his exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths Methods, a student who transitioned from General Maths struggled to attempt questions independently; as one tutor noted, "she needed more guidance than expected with exam-style problems."

In another senior case, feedback provided on a PSMT draft was not fully addressed before final submission, meaning missed opportunities for improvement.

Meanwhile, in Year 8, messy written work during linear equations tasks made it hard to spot errors and slowed revision.

In primary years, unfinished homework remained an ongoing issue—especially with assigned worksheets—which meant less class time could be devoted to new concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Morningside tutor noticed Dyllan, a high school student, has started to tackle long division of polynomials independently after needing significant prompting in earlier sessions—he now checks his own work by expanding brackets without reminders.

Meanwhile, Phoenix, also in high school, made real strides using Excel for statistical analysis; he not only created scatter plots and regression lines but began interpreting relationships between variables on his own.

At the primary level, Mikayla shifted from waiting passively for help to actively asking questions when stuck during homework—something she hadn't done before this term.

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