Patience and communication are the two of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. However, the most important thing is to make an environment that allows the student to feel comfortable with making mistakes. I am extremely patient when it comes to problem solving and helping kids. I also try my best when it comes to meeting new…

Having structured, logical and reasonable lesson plans unique to the needs of the student, and outlined learning objectives are essential. Learning style, strengths and weaknesses often vary among students and teaching methods often require reasonable flexibility. Setting a positive example is often a first step in motivating and inspiring…

Being patient and being a present mentor whilst teaching content material. It is very important to understand how your student learns best and what motivates them. I find ways to optimise the student's learning. I think it's very important to understand how each student learns as everyone is different. I allow the students to figure how they…

1) Intuition. As i talked about previously, real world motives for each problem is a clever way to potentially get a student to develop an appreciation (and some motivation) for the given math problem. 2) Attitude. It's important that the student realizes that getting questions right all the time isn't what makes you good at math. It's about…

I would rather not spoon-feed answers unless it is absolutely necessary, and would rather a student think critically…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be easily available to them. Often times a student may wish to clarify a quick concept or question outside of tutor times for homework or other purposes. By being easily available to the student, a tutor can spare a few minutes of their day to support and promote the student's learning.…

A tutor needs to serve as a support system rather than only being a teacher and really be a pillar of reassurance in order to motivate the student to achieve their maximum potential.

The most important thing a tutor can do is to help students understand the subject they are assisting with. Not being able to understand something causes frustration and makes it difficult to remember and apply later. Once a foundation of understanding is established, only then can the tutor go on to teach new information. I have a good…

We had a fabulous experience with Richard! He was very engaging and my son listened and did the work.
Elle

Inside PullenvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella focused on strategies for mastering higher-number times tables and worked through decimals, percentages, and fractions using visual aids.

In Year 10, Zoe revised her math test to address errors with compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sanvi practiced differentiation techniques including the product and chain rules in Math Methods, then shifted to Chemistry where she refined her rationale for an experimental assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, a student repeatedly substituted subtraction for addition and struggled to combine multiplication and division in multi-step problems; as one tutor noted, "she hadn't really internalised the strategies" until given extra support.

A Year 10 student arrived without her homework book multiple weeks in a row, which made it difficult to track progress or address gaps—leading to confusion when switching between fractions and decimals.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student submitted written reports late and with unclear structure, prompting feedback: "She seems to have a difficult time understanding how to plan her report."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pullenvale noticed that one Year 5 student, who previously needed reminders for multiplication strategies, now recalls and applies them independently—she recently managed fraction addition with different denominators without hesitation.

In high school, Zoe has made a clear shift from confusion to mastery: after struggling with geometric sequences earlier this term, she got a tough sequence question correct on her non-calculator exam and confidently redid similar problems.

Meanwhile, Sanvi has begun tackling chemistry assignments ahead of schedule and is now connecting concepts between topics without needing prompts—last session, she attempted every practice exam question on her own initiative.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pullenvale State School.
