The most important thing a tutor can do is to listen to the student, as well as teaching. Encouraging the student to provide their input on a topic without having any pretentious predelection will allow the student to become more confident in their learning. I have the ability to gage the student's difficulty and work with them from that level.…

Tutors should be able to convey information in a way that not only makes sense, but engages the student. A tutor should be as eager about the subject they are teaching as they are knowledgeable of the topic, and should strive to convey this excitement and passion through their teaching. The ability to help a student not only understand, but love…

I believe the most significant thing a tutor can do is instill self belief and show genuine care for the success of the student. This will give the student the confidence to succeed academically, meaning the tutoring process has been successful. I believe I have strong speaking skills and I am also patient. Additionally I believe I put the effort…

I believe patience, respect and empathy is highly necessary to be able to connect with a student so that they can understand a difficult topic. Therefore, being able to frame a difficult topic in a way that is easy to understand enables the student to not only be confident in the subject matter but also allows them to find a way to approach the…

A comfortable environment that is encouraging and more engaging than studying alone can. Tutors are an extra resource students can invest in for their education, which makes it important that the environment they provide to the students allow for failures and not discourage students from studying due to their past grades. Understanding the…

I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

Inside StrathpineTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Savannah practiced rounding numbers to estimate answers and worked on converting between metric units while solving measurement problems.

In Year 8, Ruby focused on factorising algebraic expressions and tackled worded ratio and rates questions to prepare for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Oliver reviewed linear equations by rearranging variables and translating tables into rules, using graphs to visually represent relationships.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Methods repeatedly hesitated when using logarithmic laws, often second-guessing which rule to apply; as one tutor put it, "she overthinks and loses confidence partway through each question," leading to incomplete working.

In Year 7, another student struggled to pick out the key details from multi-step worded math problems, sometimes diving in without fully reading the question—this meant steps were skipped or misunderstood.

For a Year 3 learner, written working was minimal on subtraction tasks involving borrowing, so errors weren't spotted until reviewing answers together. Each instance made progress slower and less certain.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Strathpine noticed a Year 12 student who previously mixed up logarithmic laws is now confidently selecting and applying the right rule for each problem, especially with more complex questions.

Another high school win: a Year 10 student who used to skip steps when solving percentage problems has started self-correcting her errors mid-question and showing all working clearly—she even distinguished between discounts and final prices without prompting.

Meanwhile, one of our Year 4 learners who struggled with rounding numbers can now round to the nearest ten independently and even tackled rounding to the nearest hundred on her own last session.

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