Modern History Tutor Forest Lake, QLD
The most important part about a tutor is making sure the student understands what they are teaching them. Since every student's way of learning is different, the tutor must be able to adapt to fit those needs. This is why a classroom is a bad environment since not all students reach their full capabilities. But this is why tutoring is perfect…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to adapt to their learning style and to be supportive. Not every student can be taught using the same plan, and it is necessary to change when needed so that a student can be successful. If a student needs a range of scenarios so that they can clearly understand the topic, it should be…

While results may be important, I believe the most important part is instilling knowledge in a way that builds a students confidence so that they can become self-reliant and effective learners.

A tutor…

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…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide understanding and gentle encouragement. It has been my experience that, if a student feels like the work is overwhelming and the teacher isn't listening, then the student will simply cease to care or give up.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to boost their self-confidence. Learning, like everything else, is dependent on one's perception of one's abilities. Students who are confident in their abilities are more likely to be motivated than students who think they will never succeed. I think my strength as a tutor would be…

Inside Ellen GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sofia focused on solidifying multiplication skills with the column method and tackled basic division, also practising quick mental maths.

In Year 9, Lucas worked through expanding and factorising binomials using the FOIL method and reviewed solving equations for x by rearranging algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Genevieve revised factorising quadratic equations and applied the null factor law in preparation for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently guessed answers in algebra without first unpacking the question, as a tutor observed, "lots of guessing." This led to confusion and repeated errors.

In Year 10, another learner's written work was difficult to follow; untidy layout made it challenging to trace mistakes during trigonometry tasks.

For a senior student working on compound interest problems in Maths Methods, there was heavy reliance on calculators—missing "x" in calculations—and inconsistent attention to unit conversions.

A Year 5 student avoided setting out division steps clearly, so small errors went unnoticed until review. The lack of clear working delayed real progress each lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Ellen Grove tutor noted a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess now regularly talks through her thinking out loud and asks for help as soon as she's unsure, making her approach problems more actively.

A high schooler who'd often skip checking his work is now pausing to fix errors before submitting, showing he's taking ownership of his learning rather than rushing ahead.

In primary, a Year 4 student who previously needed guidance for multiplication has started working out x4 problems by herself and quickly distinguishes positive from negative numbers just by glancing at the question.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forest Lake State School.
