Science Tutor Manly, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower them with the tools and confidence to become independent learners. Beyond just imparting knowledge, a tutor should encourage critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of self-efficacy in their students. This involves not only explaining concepts but…

Communicate the fundamentals of the problem at hand and provide insight into what is being solved. In maths especially understanding the question and helping the student to find that understanding is always the first move to make with a student. If they don't understand what's being asked then they won't be able to find the right answer and…

To be compassionate of the student's current ability and work at their pace, and to provide an understanding of the subject material with the simplest possible explanations. I can quickly gauge the level of the student and adjust the pacing of a session accordingly. I am adept at finding alternative explanations if the one provided is not being…

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…

The most important thing I think a tutor can do for a student is to instil in them a good approach to learning through teaching them practical techniques to work smarter and get more out of the effort that they put into the subject. Demystifying task sheets for a student and teaching them how to manage their time and develop a good working…

Providing a student with the fundamental skills they need to persevere and be confident in their own ability to achieve. A good tutor should be personable, responsible and articulate and employ methods of teaching that best suit a particular student. I explain difficult concepts as simply as I can and break it down so it's easier to understand.…

Being there means a lot to kids. Your mere presence is an indication that you are available to what they need or want to say. Listening to how their day went and encouraging them to reach their full potential. I know how patient, caring and understanding one should be in dealing with kids. I think those are my strengths as a…

The most important thing for a tutor to do is inspire self-believe and uncover topics that may become a passion for children. From this, tutors should foster a willingness to develop the child's skills and even potentially find a career path or tertiary education option within a specific area. My willingness to listen and respond calmly even in…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a positive learning environment. Students need to feel safe and they should be excited to learn. If tutors create a happy, welcoming and productive teaching space, the student will be more willing to listen and participate. This includes always staying calm and never becoming…

A tutor must guide the students learning. It is not about just sitting there and doing the work for them, but helping them to think through it, point them in the right direction, so that they may solve problems and complete questions easily in the future. I believe that as a tutor I will be able to convey concepts and content to students in a way…

Inside LotaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised multiplication facts for 2, 3, 5, and 10 and solved true or false statements about these tables.

Year 10 student Sam worked on **quadratic equations** and explored exponential functions and their graphs to strengthen algebra skills.

For Year 11, Mia focused on arithmetic and geometric series, tackling sequence questions using **formulae and diagrams** to visualise patterns.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was often eager to "rush through" addition and subtraction tasks, which led to skipped steps and confusion between operations—"Lucas sometimes draws an extra circle or misses one because he is really fast," noted a tutor.

In English, another child hesitated to read aloud challenging words, preferring comfort-zone vocabulary over unfamiliar terms; this reluctance limited confidence growth during reading sessions.

For a senior student in data handling (Year 10), plotting graphs became difficult when they forgot to double-check bracket placement in formulas, leading to incorrect results that had to be retraced from scratch.

Recent Achievements

A Lota tutor recently noticed Ruby, a high school student, now applies the seasonal index formula independently to identify trends—something she previously needed step-by-step guidance for.

Isaac, also in high school, was able to graph exponential functions on his own and accurately predict their behavior after struggling with this abstract topic just weeks ago.

In primary sessions, Lucas began asking for help when he didn't understand subtraction with borrowing rather than quietly guessing—he then completed all his subtraction exercises correctly 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 Wynnum Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lota State School.
