A tutor should be able to provide lessons to a student which are tailored to their abilities and learning style. This is something which students can't always get in their regular classes and a tutor could provide through being attentive. They should also be able to make students feel confident in their abilities and iron out any weaknesses. My…

The most important things that a tutor could do for a student is to understand what level the student sits at regarding the specified subject, to understand the speed they can learn new items or understand items they are having trouble understanding, and to leave the session knowing that the student can fully and without guidance, attempt all…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is help inspire students to love learning, gain knowledge in various fields and learn how that knowledge can be applied in the real world, so that students gain an appreciation for education. Education is much more than just getting good grades, it is about learning how the knowledge you have…

As far as my understanding, as a tutor, he/she always needs to motivate their students to think more widely and creatively. It is true, initially, they will fail several times. Allowing them to do it, will build their confidence for their future, which will be eventually worth it for their life. As a tutor, I am always friendly, patiently try to…

I think a tutor can change your perspective and attitude towards dealing with challenges in life. I think it's important to highlight that if you fail at something you are not “bad†at it. You usually just have to approach the problem from a different angle and have the confidence to make mistakes and move forward. I've personally found that…

The most important things a tutor can do to a student is to make the student not to need a tutor any more (Be able to work alone without assistance from the tutor).

So far I have found several factors that make for good tutors. Firstly building a strong and personal relationship with the student is very important as the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor can add essential ingredients for students to learn and grow. Secondly, communication and collaboration with the student,…

From my experience, the most important thing/skill as a tutor is to understand what students are not understanding. I believe that the most effective way to increase academic score/grade is to find the weakness/ topics that we do not quite get. Tutors should find those in students quickly and resolve it by teaching effectively. One of the biggest…

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them. Tutoring is a student-centred occupation and one should be able to assess students' knowledge in real time in order to develop effective teaching solutions. Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is help students develop confidence and a genuine interest in the subject.

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach perseverance and adaptability, because sometimes, the only thing you need to do to learn something new or that you struggle with, is just to change your perspective a little.

The most important thing a tutor can do is build independence and genuine confidence in a student.

Instead of just handing students the solutions to a specific Math equation, a tutor's role is to equip them with the…

I think the best thing a tutor can do is help the student to complete their learning cycle. So the student can continue doing it by themselves.

The most important things are: - to help the student become an independent learner so that eventually they do not rely to a tutor for academic success - to give them methods or techniques so that their study is more effective and efficient - to help the student learn how to prioritise what they need to get done (in terms of homework, study, or…

I believe tutoring helps students develop a genuine love for learning. There are 2 characteristics a tutor needs to achieve this. Firstly, the tutor should have an open and friendly personality. Learning is inherently effortful, and having someone friendly to guide the process makes it more enjoyable and productive. Additionally, tutors need to…

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.
