Biology Tutor Albany Creek, QLD
The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the ability to be confident in their own knowledge to attack any problem head on. I will never solve a problem for them, however I will always support them and give them the necessary tools to be able to do it on their own. Having been part of the first year of ATAR and achieving a…

Biology Tutor Mitchelton, QLD
As a tutor, I believe that it is important to be patient with students and allow them to grasp the concept on their own, albeit with a firm guiding hand, as I find that this allows the pupil to adopt a more proactive and self-sufficient mindset. My experience with this method often found a great deal of pride and accomplishment within both the…

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic.

Be someone a student feels comfortable with so they can ask any questions they need without feeling judged. It is also important that the tutor can, of course, answer questions, as well as provide strategies to help the student become a more independent learner in the future. I find it easy to breakdown a concept and explain each step of the way.…

Support their learning without giving away the answers easily so that the student can actually practice while supervised.

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there to support them in their wins and losses. They need to be available to answer their questions, no matter how silly.

Inside VirginiaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby completed a placement test covering the entire Year 7 maths curriculum, working through key areas such as algebra and order of operations.

In Year 9, Emily tackled trigonometry word problems using sine and cosine rules for both right-angled and non-right-angled triangles, drawing diagrams to support her understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jack focused on arithmetic sequences—finding common differences and missing terms from given information—and used simultaneous equations to solve for unknowns within those sequences.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was noticeably disorganized, arriving without any content resources from school; as the tutor observed, "had she gathered all her resources, the lesson would've been smoother."

In Year 8 algebra, one student consistently tried to do every step in her head—this worked for simple problems but led to confusion when multi-step setting out became essential.

Meanwhile, a senior student working on calculus found herself mixing up formulas and hesitated to use the provided QCAA formula sheet, often swapping variables like r and n. In each case, missing materials or skipping written steps slowed progress and created unnecessary hurdles during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Virginia noted a big step forward for a Year 10 student who had previously struggled with simultaneous equations—after weeks of confusion, she was able to talk through one example herself and then completed another with barely any prompting.

Meanwhile, an older high school student learned to use the quadratic formula and now understands what it means when the answer is "undefined," something that caused uncertainty before.

In a primary session, a younger student who often guessed at answers began checking her work against tables and graphs before saying she was finished.

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 Banyo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Nudgee College.
