One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot of…

Helping the student not only improve their studies, but learn how to better study and learn independently when at home/in school. It's one thing to be working in a short tutoring session, and another to continue the work in ones own time. I am able to empathise with students and work with them on how they learn best (which teaching methods and…

I consider encouragement and patience as the most important things a tutor can do for a student. As school can be stressful, being supportive and persistent toward the student is beneficial and can make them more receptive to wanting to learn. Having patience is also very important for tutors as some students may not understand a concept and the…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject.

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is inspire and motivate. While these seem like simple elements, in successfully doing so, the tutor has essentially altered the learning experiences for the student from that moment onwards. The student is then able to develop their confidence in their subjects, push to achieve their goals,…

Believing in your student has to be one of the most important things a tutor can do as you help the student know that nothing is impossible and they can do it all. I also think patience is also important as everyone learns differently and at various paces. I believe I am easy to communicate with. In terms of communicating with parents, my…

Relate. The student will understand the concept once it resonates with something the student is interested in. A tutor needs to describe the concept, demonstrate the concept and invite the student to attempt the concept. This open dialogue, dispelling fear of failure and welcoming the opportunity to learn is an important attribute a tutor must…

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.

Be interactive by continuously observing where they are at. Show don't tell. Keep challenging them by pushing the boundaries of their knowledge, but be mindful of their confidence level.

Local Reviews

I have to say though that the coach you put me with -- Ali, was really great!
Laureen, Chermside

Inside ChermsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Matilda worked on converting fractions into decimals and dividing whole numbers by fractions, using visual aids to support understanding.

Year 10 student Brodie focused on networks and financial maths, applying concepts through assessment tasks and targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Stephanie reviewed index laws alongside algebraic skills like grouping like terms and expanding brackets, with extra time spent refining responses for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly lost her formula "cheat sheet" before tests, making last-minute revision stressful and undermining her confidence with unfamiliar questions. "She looked up formulas on Google instead of practicing recall," noted a tutor, so memorization didn't improve for test day.

In Year 11 Maths, messy or incomplete class notes meant key methods were forgotten by the next session—without periodic review, foundational skills slipped away when harder problems appeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student hesitated to attempt new types of questions independently, requiring step-by-step guidance and losing time whenever instructions changed mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Chermside tutor noticed that Claudia, a Year 10 student who used to hesitate and rely heavily on guidance, now works through most maths problems independently and only seeks help for particularly tough questions.

In another session, Jackson, a high schooler, was able to use the Talk Aloud strategy to clearly explain his thinking in algebra—previously he'd struggled to verbalise his steps or ask for clarification.

Meanwhile, Matilda in primary school has started finishing creative writing tasks more willingly and even sticks with difficult exercises until completion, rather than giving up when she gets stuck.

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 Chermside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wavell Heights State School.
