They can be the person they look up to whilst talking about their passions/what they want to do in the future etc. However one of the greatest things students can learn from their tutor could be from their own experience such that it will be more reliable and inspiring than any other theory I love working with kids, especially during my school…

A tutor should set a good example for the student by punctual, respectful and approachable. A tutor should help the student set clear goals and monitor their progress. Above all, a tutor needs to believe in the student's capacity for growth, self-discipline and excellence. I think that I am very structured. I try my best to relate to students and…

A tutor should know the students' questions and worries and find ways to deal with rather than teaching them general knowledge. In this way, students can improve their grades and know how to perform. Another important thing is that students need to be nurtured with a good habit in learning, which is essential for their future studies. I am majored…

Making the subject more exciting for the student is the best thing I believe a tutor can do for a student because with this strategy students would always be eager to learn new things and put more efforts towards it. I can explain very well to the students like I put efforts on making them things very clear with examples and for lower grade…

Most importantly, I can provide constructive feedback to students which will help them grow their knowledge and…

Help the student build confidence. I find many students have the knowledge to solve problems but lack the confidence in themselves. So my aim to help them grow their confidence in the subject, and thus improve their ability aswell.

In my experience, there are two really important things a tutor can provide for a student. A tutor's primary responsibility to their student is to strengthen their knowledge of a subject, diving deeper into topics they may have already studied or simply reinforcing concepts they are struggling with. While this is the predominant purpose of a…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student motivation to learn and ultimately excel academically.

The most important things will be assisting them to keep up with the school schedule and solving problems they want to know.

I think a common misconception about a tutor's job is that their whole purpose is to get their tutee an A+.

The difference…

I like to think of education as a conversation - tutoring can offer 1-on-1 contact with a student to allow them an equal voice in that conversation. As such, I think communication and listening skills are vital to understand a student's particular needs. Beyond that, the ability to "make learning fun" - an engaged student is a thriving one, and I…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be there for them and listen.

Furthermore, our role as tutors is to help children do the work, not do the work for them. Sometimes all students need is…

I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side. Aside from paying attention to the student's attention span, more importantly, a tutor should be prepared on going about different routes to ensure understanding of course content and…

Inside Petrie TerraceTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Olivia focused on converting fractions and percentages, as well as reinforcing her understanding of improper fractions using visual aids.

In Year 9, Ethan worked through algebra worded problems and practiced expanding and simplifying linear equations to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ava concentrated on mastering the derivatives of exponential functions and applying these techniques to related optimisation questions, reviewing step-by-step differentiation strategies throughout the session.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student showed progress in worded maths problems but often avoided revisiting difficult textbook questions between lessons—"he admitted he has not been practising what we've been going through," the tutor noted after a topic test.

A Year 10 student, while understanding new concepts during sessions, struggled to recall key steps the following week due to limited consolidation outside class; this led to re-covering old material instead of advancing.

In senior years, incomplete homework and minimal independent practice meant recurring calculation errors persisted across assignments, even when students could recognise these mistakes after feedback was given.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Petrie Terrace recently noticed some genuine steps forward across a few students. One Year 11 student, who used to quietly skip over difficult calculus problems, now asks for clarification and talks through his reasoning—he even took the lead on breaking down a tricky chain rule question last session.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student has shifted from second-guessing her answers to confidently judging if solutions "look right," often explaining out loud why she trusts her method.

In primary sessions, one younger learner who once hesitated with worded maths problems successfully read all the key terms aloud before working through each step herself.

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 Brisbane Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brisbane Grammar School.
