I always say that the most important thing is being patient. I know that every child is different, so tutors have to adapt to each child and teach children in the appropriate way, since each student understands subjects differently. I am a young person, so I am able to understand a child in many situations. I am aware of mental health and the…

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think a tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught how to…

Inside GreenslopesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Caleb explored chance and probability scenarios, along with basic arithmetic calculations.

Year 8 student Paul tackled algebraic expressions, measurement problems, geometry concepts, and probability through school test revision.

For Year 10, Ruby focused on quadratic equations—finding turning points and axes of symmetry by completing the square—and practiced using intercepts to determine the equation of a quadratic from its graph.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left algebra steps incomplete—skipped showing working when simplifying expressions, as noted—making it difficult to spot and correct sign errors.

In senior maths, one Year 11 student's graph work was held back by unclear layout: axis scales were inconsistently marked, leading to confusion about gradients.

A Year 10 student preparing an essay hesitated to write full sentences for ideas, worried they "weren't perfect yet," which slowed progress and limited drafting practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner sometimes relied on counting by hand instead of memorizing basic addition facts, making multi-step calculations much slower during class activities.

Recent Achievements

A Greenslopes tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who started independently detecting and correcting her own mistakes in algebra, after previously needing step-by-step guidance.

In a senior English session, another high schooler was able to restructure her essay based on feedback—something she'd hesitated to do before—which made her arguments much clearer and stronger.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who had struggled to stay focused managed to complete all his decimal addition questions correctly and worked with much more concentration than usual. The session wrapped up as he answered every problem without prompting.

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 Stones Corner Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Greenslopes State School.
