Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

I believe that patience and consideration are the most important things, as it can take very different amounts of time for people to understand concepts that I may have learnt at a faster pace, or that another student learnt faster. Flexibility is also important as everybody learns in a unique way, and what may help one person completely…

The ultimate goal for a tutor is to help their students grow and provide them with essential skills to their academic. Most importantly, the tutor has to do this in the attitude of a friend who genuinely wishes their student the best because they need to trust the tutor and know that they are there whenever they need them. I help my students to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt. My principle strength as a tutor would be my understanding of how mathematical concepts work, which helps me to explain them. I do this often with my colleagues during…

I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

A tutor should be able to establish rapport and trust by being honest. This is the critical element to a successful tutoring relationship.

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.

We're very happy with Om so far. He's really personable, seems to know his stuff, and my daughter enjoys working with him.

Inside YeerongpillyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eva focused on finding the circumference of a circle by relating diameter and radius, and also worked through her science homework.

In Year 10, Emily practiced solving simultaneous equations both algebraically and using substitution, as well as expanding brackets to simplify expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James explored the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination in statistics, along with fitting lines to data sets for linear regression analysis.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left working out incomplete in geometry tasks, especially when converting between radius and diameter—this made it hard to catch small errors.

In Year 10, "forgotten calculators and missing notes" were a recurring theme during trigonometry revision, leading to lost time hunting for formulas instead of practicing.

A senior (Year 12) student tackling calculus integration would erase and re-write working repeatedly: as one tutor noted, "perfectionism meant less progress on unfamiliar problems."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 struggled to apply feedback from previous lessons on fractions—old mistakes crept back into new work without review.

Recent Achievements

One Yeerongpilly tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who used to skip over multi-step problem-solving questions now pausing to break down each part, showing real independence with simultaneous equations.

Another high school student, after weeks of second-guessing in calculus, confidently explained how integration and differentiation connect—something that had previously been a stumbling block.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often hesitated with basic fractions is now simplifying them in her head without prompting, and even volunteered to help a classmate finish a worksheet on rounding.

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 Fairfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yeronga State School.
