What worked for me when tutoring and being tutored, was feeling safe. When a tutor creates a safe and friendly environment for their students, they will open up much quicker, and will feel safer to ask them questions. It will make tutoring feel less intimidating and more fun. I'm very friendly, and take things with a lighthearted approach, which…

Inside Murrumba DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Poppy worked on understanding scale factors and calculating the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms, using class examples and diagrams.

Year 10 Ella focused on revising linear functions through a mini quiz and then practiced applying index laws to equations, with flashcards for reinforcement.

In Year 11, Dirk tackled graph transformations in Chapter 7 of his textbook, exploring set notation, domain and range, as well as graphing piecewise equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, over-reliance on calculators led to missed errors in calculations; as one tutor noted, "he needs to double-check the solutions as there were some avoidable errors."

A Year 10 student repeatedly left assignment work incomplete and rarely sought clarification when unsure, which resulted in confusion about key requirements.

In Year 8 Mathematics, skipping written steps during quadratic problems caused sign mistakes and later confusion while reviewing solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student often forgot to bring essential materials like her calculator, limiting practice with Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry questions during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Murrumba Downs noticed Poppy, a high school student, starting to tackle scale factor and linear equation problems with more independence—she now tries every quiz question even if she's unsure, whereas before she'd skip them or wait for help.

In another session, Dirk, also in high school, began showing initiative by breaking his assignment into smaller steps himself and could solve quadratic equations with much less guidance than before.

Meanwhile, younger student Callum recently surprised his tutor by recalling all of his 6 times tables from memory and confidently moving on to the 7s without hesitation.

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 North Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Murrumba State Secondary College.
