Tutor Brighton, QLD
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…

Being able to communicate with them in a friendly way, and not making them feel intimidated. Having to understand what study method is the best for them.

I believe a tutor shouldn't just focus on helping out their students during sessions. Tutors should be focused on making plans before their sessions, learning from their students' strengths and weaknesses. They should be passionate about their students' grades as much as their own. My strengths as a tutor include: - Taking notes of students'…

A student comes to a tutor because they struggle to understand the knowledge and they cannot communicate their struggles in school, hence they look up to us.

They consider various factors, such as a student's learning style, and tailor their instruction to them. They also instil executive study skills in students, which will benefit them both academically and in life. Being a great…

Inside Murrumba DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Poppy worked on understanding scale factors and calculating the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms, using class examples and diagrams.

Year 10 Ella focused on revising linear functions through a mini quiz and then practiced applying index laws to equations, with flashcards for reinforcement.

In Year 11, Dirk tackled graph transformations in Chapter 7 of his textbook, exploring set notation, domain and range, as well as graphing piecewise equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, over-reliance on calculators led to missed errors in calculations; as one tutor noted, "he needs to double-check the solutions as there were some avoidable errors."

A Year 10 student repeatedly left assignment work incomplete and rarely sought clarification when unsure, which resulted in confusion about key requirements.

In Year 8 Mathematics, skipping written steps during quadratic problems caused sign mistakes and later confusion while reviewing solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student often forgot to bring essential materials like her calculator, limiting practice with Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry questions during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Murrumba Downs noticed Poppy, a high school student, starting to tackle scale factor and linear equation problems with more independence—she now tries every quiz question even if she's unsure, whereas before she'd skip them or wait for help.

In another session, Dirk, also in high school, began showing initiative by breaking his assignment into smaller steps himself and could solve quadratic equations with much less guidance than before.

Meanwhile, younger student Callum recently surprised his tutor by recalling all of his 6 times tables from memory and confidently moving on to the 7s without hesitation.

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 North Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Murrumba State Secondary College.
