As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

It's important for a tutor to be able to provide a positive and safe learning environment for their students, where the focus is upon developing useful skills and knowledge rather than being limited by specific content. My strengths would be that I am very patient, sensitive and sympathetic, and I would definitely be able to make my students feel…

Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is basically giving them the ability to simply understand their work, as this understanding forms the foundation of what they need to know and without this understanding they would not be able to pus themselves forward into learner their work on a broader perspective. I am a fast…

I think it would be acknowledging the difficulty in subjects to know that they aren't alone with their difficulties and also being able to explain to them the content of their subjects in new ways that makes sense to them. And also make them feel confident in their abilities as well as teaching them a new confidence of autonomy when it comes to…

Be a non-judgmental voice they can ask about any questions they have on the subject matter and be someone who can effectively listen and explain their own knowledge to the student.

The most important thing I can do for a student is adapt. Oftentimes it is impossible to cater towards individual students in a classroom setting and this can make it more difficult for certain students who learn differently. However, tutoring allows me to identify how individual students learn best and tailor the lesson accordingly. I am…

Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them. Some of my strengths would…

Be approachable and pay attention. It's very hard to put your own worldview aside when it comes to knowledge, and many people are likely not even cognisant of that, but you need to understand that you know things that the child doesn't even know what they don't know. I make learning a bit more laid back and approachable. My strength is in relating…

According to me, the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is wake up their curiosity. Getting good grades are important, but equally important is to make sure that the student is enjoying and understanding the subject being taught. As this helps make the student pursue the subjects further. These are the future of the humanity,…

I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

The most important thing as a tutor is to be there for your student, not only academically but mentally and emotionally as well. I want my students to feel like they can ask me for advice on subjects that may not pertain to their education, but I want them to also feel like they can come to me for help when it comes to their academics as well.…

Local Reviews

I really liked the style of teaching. I can understand well with her.
Fareha Omar, Parkinson

Inside ParkinsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ed revised long division, converting between improper and mixed fractions, and worked through BOMDAS problems with multiple operations.

Year 11 student Ruby focused on surface area and volume of composite 3D shapes, alongside revision of linear word problems and properties of parallel and perpendicular lines using equations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace tackled bivariate data analysis for an assignment, discussing how to interpret relationships in scatterplots and practice final drafting skills for her mathematics project.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student received detailed assignment feedback in Math Methods but left several required graphs and proportional analysis incomplete; the tutor noted, "the assignment still requires a lot of improvement."

In Physics (Year 12), formatting and quality of evidence needed significant attention before submission.

For a Year 5 learner, repeated attempts to solve maths problems mentally led to frequent mistakes—"Ed tries to do everything in his head," wrote one tutor—which slowed progress when converting fractions or tackling long division.

A Year 8 student's diagrams in geometry were often hard to interpret due to cramped layouts, making it difficult to track which angle labels belonged where.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Parkinson noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of struggling with derivatives, now works through basic differentiation independently and rarely needs reminders about the rules.

In senior Physics, one student recently handed in an improved assignment draft, having clearly used the previous session's feedback to refine his explanations and show deeper understanding—a real change from earlier drafts that missed key points.

Meanwhile, in Year 5, Ed is finally tackling long division solo; he catches and corrects most mistakes himself without waiting for hints.

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 Sunnybank Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Calamvale Community College.
