Science Tutor Capalaba, QLD
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond just explaining the content. First, a tutor should make the student feel comfortable asking questions — even the ones they think are “silly.†When a student feels safe to speak up, real learning starts. Second, it’s important to focus on understanding, not…

Science Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
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…

Be able to change how they teach to best suit about the student. It's a learning experience from both sides, and the tutor should be patient enough to be able to change the way they explain the particulars so that the student is able to understand the best. My ability to explain concepts intuitively, and by extension being able to spot incorrect…

Science Tutor Carindale, QLD
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…

Be a leader. A leader is a role model and a mentor. If a student's teacher is someone they admire and look up to, that student will be more motivated and more open to new ideas. I have a wide range of knowledge in many areas, not just in my speciality areas.I can relate to my students and empathise with their difficulties. I'm also very…

the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient with students and cater the learning experience to each individual student because each student learns in a different way. I have a passion for mathematics and for helping other students find joy in learning…

Very easy to deal with and they were able to find a tutor specific to my daughter's needs. My daughter is already feeling more confident and understanding the work after a few weeks. We are very happy.

Inside ManlyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 2 student Lucas practised skip-counting by twos, fives and tens, and identified even and odd numbers using hands-on activities.

Year 9 student Ava revised index laws and exponential equations, then tackled algebraic factorising to consolidate class content.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan focused on differentiation in Unit 3 Topic 2 and reviewed graphical representations of functions, connecting them to real-world problem-solving scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, a student's over-reliance on practicing only familiar question types between lessons led to missed opportunities for growth in challenging topics—"should spend as much time as possible on it tonight and tomorrow to maximise result," noted one tutor before the final exam.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 algebra sessions, skipping written steps made error-tracing difficult: "writing down the steps of every problem so it's easier to go back and check for possible mistakes" was highlighted.

For a younger learner in Year 3, confusion with regrouping tens and ones surfaced when new drawings appeared in notebooks; hesitation to review these concepts slowed progress during subtraction activities.

Recent Achievements

One Manly tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had struggled to apply algebraic techniques; now he's confidently solving quadratics mostly on his own, often needing just a hint instead of step-by-step help.

Another high schooler in Year 12 moved from confusion about trigonometric functions to independently using sine and cosine rules across multiple problems—she even chose which rule to use without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student, Lucas, has gone from guessing at regrouping tens and ones to completing addition and subtraction exercises accurately on his own and finishing homework without reminders.

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 St John Vianney's Primary School.
