I think its most important to build a strong foundation to build upon in a given subject. for example its not just important that you understand how it works, you should be able to explain how it works to someone else. this is because it shows that you have a strong fluency in the subject and not just the ability to memorise a process. A strong…

I believe that learning should be a fun process. When students are engaged in learning, they can actually retain what they have learnt during the lesson. Being encouraging helps students gain confidence in their abilities and increases their willingness to learn. It is also important for a tutor to guide the student in the right direction so that…

It is very important that a student has trust in their tutor and whilst learning can also have fun. A student needs to feel like they are in a safe environment before learning can occur. I will bring out the best in every student in their own unique ways. I will show them that they can do anything they put their mind to it and help guide them onto…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As a tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced themselves they…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

The most important thing is to understand the students misconceptions and how to correct the cause of that misconception. To ensure that their fundamental knowledge is corrected before pursuing more complex tasks. It is also essentially to show empathy and respect so they may respect you back and try their best for you.

Empower and encourage them to problem solve themselves and to find a passion for learning.

I have well-developed interpersonal skills, from…

Local Reviews

Olivier has been a great addition to my daughter's learning and understanding of Year 12 Maths Methods. He has helped create her a much better understanding of the concepts and procedural methods involved to move forward with her knowledge and progress in this subject. He is organised, punctual and polite and my daughter's feedback is always positive following her tutorial's with Olivier. I gladly recommend his services as a tutor to anyone in need of same.

Inside StapyltonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zara explored measures of central tendency by calculating mean, median, mode, and range for new statistics topics introduced at school.

For Year 10, student Daniel tackled basic trigonometry skills and worked through assignment questions involving parabolas, focusing on applying formulas to real problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex revised key differentiation techniques alongside an introduction to matrices, working through example questions to consolidate both concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student did not complete the assigned maths homework or begin a required assignment, as noted: "needs to prioritize his maths assignment more, because he has not made any attempts yet." This led to missed opportunities for targeted feedback and slowed progress.

In Year 11, another student repeatedly relied on previous worked examples when tackling rounding questions—hesitating to try independently and needing reminders to trust their own reasoning.

For a younger primary learner, frequent distractions during basic arithmetic meant time was spent redirecting focus instead of building fluency with addition and subtraction.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Stapylton recently noticed some encouraging shifts across different year levels. One high school student, after previously struggling with algebraic equations involving multiple brackets, now works through problem sheets with much more confidence and accuracy—she's even started asking for extra practice questions.

Another secondary student, who used to make frequent careless mistakes in maths, has begun double-checking her work independently and can now spot errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated to tackle word problems is now highlighting keywords on her own and finishes multiplication tasks without needing reminders.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ormeau Woods State High School.
