Physics Tutor Mount Ommaney, QLD
The most important things I for a tutor to do is understand and listen to the student. Not listening can be one of the most frustrating things as a student, where the tutor doesn't understand what they actually need help with, and wastes time going over the wrong content in the wrong way. Being able to understand the student, and then properly…

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…

The best tutors are those who can explain and teach challenging ideas with relative ease in a short period of time because they have such good interpersonal skills. I believe my greatest strength is personal interaction with the student, and the ability to…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic.

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school. University students face the same problem, so we know that not all days are great days. So as a tutor, you need to be supportive of your student where necessary, so that when…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Firstly a tutor should teach their students such that they perform better in their subjects. Secondly, a great tutor should inspire their students to keep on learning and developing once their tutoring has ended. During my studies I have worked in many groups for labs and projects, which necessitate that I discuss ideas and concepts with others.…

Being supportive and patient because it can be difficult for a tutor to see how hard the high school level maths can be for the student. Tutors need to remember how they did when they did the same maths years ago for their HSC/school and how difficult it was back then as opposed to how simple it seems now. As a maths tutor, I understand how…

Go at a pace in which the student feels comfortable, as going too quickly may be the reason they didn't understand it when their teachers taught them. Following this a tutor needs to have done some work on the subject before seeing the student as if the tutor doesn't understand what he/she is saying, the student has no chance. Also going through…

Inside Seventeen Mile RocksTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Priya focused on factorising polynomials and applying the remainder theorem, as well as interpreting and sketching piecewise functions.

In Year 9, Liam practised solving linear equations and worked with decimal operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to strengthen his number skills.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Zoe consolidated her understanding of ratios between numbers and practised dividing by 10, 100, and 1000 with results calculated to two decimal places.

Recent Challenges

Homework was not completed for a Year 11 Chemistry session, limiting progress on consolidating acid/base concepts.

In Year 12 Maths Methods, the notes highlighted "she tries to draw the graph in her head instead of working it out," which led to confusion with piecewise and polynomial graphs—important steps were skipped on paper.

A Year 9 student repeatedly forgot formulas during algebra and area questions, partly from only revising recent content instead of older material.

One Year 4 learner didn't remember to add carried numbers in multi-digit addition, causing calculation slip-ups that went unchecked.

Recent Achievements

One Seventeen Mile Rocks tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to get stuck rearranging formulas now quickly solves for unknowns and graphs linear equations with only a nudge.

In chemistry, a senior high school student who previously mixed up different acid types is now confidently explaining the steps for polyprotic acids and balancing tricky equations independently.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, Tahlia, who struggled to remember her 9x tables, now uses clever tricks she's learned to break them down herself and recently worked through big number multiplication problems like 147 x 48 without hesitation.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
