I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help the…

To foster the love of learning and aid in filling gaps where areas that need foundation is lacking. I am great at figuring out how students learn. This I believe is my best trait as a teacher. I thoroughly believe that learning stems of inspiration, passion and want in students. Bringing all those traits towards learning will foster love of…

I think being positive and encouraging is the best thing a tutor can do. With previous students I have tutored, I found that many of them lacked the confidence in themselves, making them less interested in the work and anxious about assessments. But breaking the question/concept down, encouraging them to try, suggesting different methods to…

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

I consider the most important things that a tutor can do for a student to be providing them knowledgeable support in their academic journey and applying their past experiences of the education system to their teachings. Most of all though, understanding that keeping up with studies is very important, whether a student has fallen behind or wants to…

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 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. I am empathetic and…

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…

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 AlbertonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Zara focused on statistics, learning to find the mean, median, mode, and range of small data sets using real class examples.

In Year 8, Mia tackled algebraic expressions and practiced solving equations for x through targeted worksheet problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Sam worked through trigonometry revision, including basic questions on angles and sides as well as an introduction to vectors and geometric transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student, when working on algebra and worded equations, tended to avoid showing all steps—this made it harder to spot where small errors crept in, as noted: "she skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 12 maths, one student hadn't completed Task 3 and needed to clarify assignment requirements with their teacher; this delayed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner was sometimes distracted during workbook tasks and required redirection before refocusing. These habits led to repeated confusion or incomplete assignments rather than building confidence through independent problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Alberton tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with the substitution method now confidently switching between methods when solving simultaneous equations, even correcting earlier mistakes without prompting.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who previously guessed answers during statistics work is now carefully explaining her process—taking time to show her working for each step before moving on.

Meanwhile, two younger students have started insisting on trying themselves first before asking for help, showing a clear shift from passive listening to eager problem-solving.

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 Carbrook Animal Assisted Learning Centre.
