Geography Tutor Mount Ommaney, QLD
If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

Geography Tutor Indooroopilly, QLD
The most important thing I can do as a tutor is to encourage the student to do their best and achieve their goals. If their goal is to get straight A's then I will ensure that I do all I can to help them get there. If their goal is to pass or to improve their grades, it is important that I help them do that. I do not want to give them the answers,…

Listen to feedback. Make sure they understand what they are being taught and determine if a new approach is needed. Sometimes the same information can be summarised and presented in a different way that is just easier for some people to understand. My own capacity for learning. Information retention and comprehensive analysis. Communication…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is foster an excitement about the learning process. A good tutor can help a student to achieve not only their language goals but to appreciate how important language is to their overall academic achievement. My strengths as a tutor revolve around my communicative style of teaching/tutoring. I'm…

To interact more with the student and make sure they are understanding things better and/or are facing any difficulties, but also appreciate them on their improvements and encourage to do better and never be satisfied with being average. I try to make sure the student is comfortable while interacting with me and guess where he/she is falling…

I think that as a tutor, being able to understand the perspective of the student is crucial in educating them. Tutoring is a student-centred occupation and one should be able to assess students' knowledge in real time in order to develop effective teaching solutions. Another important tutoring technique is to be prepared for sessions. Whether it…

The most important thing to being a tutor is the passion towards teaching and the motivation to get the best results from his/her students. It is also crucial for a tutor to be friendly and approachable to every student. A tutor should be available to help the student cope with any difficulties, even if this requires an extra personal approach to…

Geography Tutor Nathan, QLD
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is provide an opportunity for the student to thrive. To establish belief in them, as typically students seek out tutoring as they believe they are not 'good' at a subject. Being the one person there that cheers them on is a powerful thing. Providing alternate methods for students to learn is…

I believe that the best thing a tutor can do is to help students be more self-sufficient in their future learning. It is important for students to develop skills transferrable across topics and subjects in the process of learning and revising new concepts. My strength as a tutor is my ability to accomodate to students' needs. I am always willing…

We found Anthony to be an excellent tutor. He was very friendly and helpful, even sending through an exercise for Anna to do after I told him we would not be continuing.

Inside DarraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Asher practised working with ratios and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000, as well as performing division that results in answers to two decimal places.

In Year 9, Mia focused on solving simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, alongside revising probability concepts through practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam tackled quadratic equations by learning how to factorise using the complete-the-square method and interpreted piecewise functions by sketching graphs and discussing their domains.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often attempted to sketch graphs in her head rather than working through the process on paper; as a tutor observed, "she finds herself trying to draw the graph in her head instead of organising her thoughts on paper," which led to avoidable inaccuracies.

In senior Chemistry, one student repeatedly left homework incomplete and rarely reviewed key definitions or formulas between lessons—this resulted in forgetting crucial terms like "dissociation" and confusion over when to apply certain calculations.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner's unorganised approach meant regularly misplacing notes and missing due dates, causing last-minute stress before assignments.

Recent Achievements

One Darra tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling algebraic application questions now independently applies the product-sum method to factorise even trickier expressions—last session, she finished a challenging set without asking for hints.

In senior chemistry, another high schooler who previously mixed up stoichiometry steps is now confidently balancing complex equations and distinguishing between mono- and diprotic acids on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often guessed at word problems has begun pausing to draw diagrams first; last week, he set up his distance–time equation himself before checking with the tutor.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
