I am open-minded and quite friendly. With my previous students, I have been able to build a good repertoire and trust between us. I am also more than willing to share any…

It is pivotal that the tutor is always easily approachable as otherwise shy students may be reluctant to ask the tutor questions and thus those shy kids may end up falling behind. In addition, I feel that tutors must always be supportive towards the student as any harsh or negative comments may severely hinder a students willingness and ability to…

For me, it's super important for an english tutor to keep the lesson interactive and somewhat interesting, as interest fuels motivation. However, it's important not to forget that repetition is key in learning and retaining information. Certain math concepts need to be repeated to engrain into memory. Essays and writing styles have to be written…

Local Reviews

This was very easy to set up for my child. I spoke on the phone will a very friendly and helpful consultant who was able to make a plan based on my childs needs. Our tutor is friendly and well suited to my child. My childs confidence has been restored and we have seen improvements in understanding and ability in just one month. I would highly recommend this service.

Inside Shailer ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Xavier worked on factorisation and index laws, including practice with substitution in algebraic expressions.

Year 10 student Lachlan focused on Pythagoras' theorem for both short and long sides, and also explored congruent and similar triangles through diagram-based problems.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Sienna revised multiplication tables up to x9, tackled place value activities, and practised identifying angles and shapes using naming exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's algebra work was correct but often missing clear, labelled steps—"he's very good at solving questions but we're working on making sure he shows all the steps," a tutor noted. This made it harder to spot and fix small errors during review.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 probability tasks, another learner struggled to refer back to collected data when answering questions, leading to vague conclusions instead of evidence-based answers.

A Year 4 student left homework incomplete and only managed half the lesson due to fatigue, leaving gaps in multiplication skills that slowed progress on new content.

Recent Achievements

One Shailer Park tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now solves equations independently, carefully showing all working without prompting.

A Year 8 student recently shifted from guessing on congruency problems to confidently identifying the correct type and explaining her reasoning out loud.

In primary sessions, a Year 4 learner—who once felt anxious about times tables—tackled a class quiz after extra practice at home and got noticeably more answers right, then asked for harder questions next.

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 Logan Hyperdome Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The BUSY School - Shailer Park Campus.
