I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make learning simple, build the student's confidence, and create a safe space where they don't feel scared to ask questions. A tutor should be patient, supportive, and able to explain concepts in different ways until the student really understands. Most importantly, a tutor should motivate…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

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.
