I believe that the most imortant thing is to ensure that the student gains an understanding of the work, rather than simply memorising a process. That way they will be able to apply their knowledge to other areas. As a tutor, my main strength is my ability to help students understand the work. During my time at school, I would always find that you…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower them with the tools and confidence to become independent learners. Beyond just imparting knowledge, a tutor should encourage critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of self-efficacy in their students. This involves not only explaining concepts but…

A tutor needs to be able to quickly pick up on a students strengths and weaknesses so that they can focus on the correct areas of study.

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

Carrie

Inside Port Of BrisbaneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jack worked on applying index laws and solving exponential equations, as well as simplifying expressions involving surds.

In Year 10, Emma revised simultaneous equations and practiced manipulating algebraic expressions to isolate variables using step-by-step methods.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sophie focused on Unit 3 differentiation techniques and logarithms, including revision of related problem types with worked examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often skipped checking calculations after they are done, which led to repeated errors in simultaneous equations—time was then spent hunting for small mistakes rather than building understanding.

For a senior maths student revising calculus, revision mostly circled around familiar question types from class instead of tackling unfamiliar or more complex exam problems; this narrowed the scope of preparation and left some gaps before assessments.

In Year 7, another struggled with organization, sometimes forgetting to bring completed homework or key materials, making it harder to follow up on feedback or build steady progress week-to-week.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Port Of Brisbane noticed a Year 11 student who previously mixed up differentiation rules now working through these problems independently, pausing to check her steps only when truly unsure.

In Year 9, one student—who used to skip over questions involving simultaneous equations—took the initiative to solve two on his own before asking for feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who often guessed at times tables started raising his hand to clarify doubts instead of getting frustrated, and by the end of the lesson, he completed all ten multiplication problems without errors.

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 Wynnum Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Iona College.
