The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build rapport so that they trust in your abilities and in your desire to help them. I also believe that it is important that students feel that the time that they have spent with you has been worth the cost and the effort. One of my tutoring strengths is my ability to explain…

Listen to feedback. Make sure they understand what they are being taught and determine if a new approach is needed. Sometimes the same information can be summarised and presented in a different way that is just easier for some people to understand. My own capacity for learning. Information retention and comprehensive analysis. Communication…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure a student can fully understand topics that have previously been difficult. I do not think it is not enough for a tutor to simply talk through the topic with the student and expect them to understand it. A tutor should explain the topic to the student and then, after more study…

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school. University students face the same problem, so we know that not all days are great days. So as a tutor, you need to be supportive of your student where necessary, so that when…

Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points.

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure there is continual improvement in their work. If there are signs the student is not improving, then it's important to look for weaknesses or anything the student is struggling with and work on those areas.

Imparting an enjoyment of learning something new. I am only with the student for a short time compared to their time in school, so increasing intrinsic motivation to learn has a much greater effect in the long run, as well as decreasing the chance of burnout due to stress in the higher grades. Being able to engage a student through different…

We had a fabulous experience with Richard! He was very engaging and my son listened and did the work.
Elle

Inside PullenvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella focused on strategies for mastering higher-number times tables and worked through decimals, percentages, and fractions using visual aids.

In Year 10, Zoe revised her math test to address errors with compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sanvi practiced differentiation techniques including the product and chain rules in Math Methods, then shifted to Chemistry where she refined her rationale for an experimental assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, a student repeatedly substituted subtraction for addition and struggled to combine multiplication and division in multi-step problems; as one tutor noted, "she hadn't really internalised the strategies" until given extra support.

A Year 10 student arrived without her homework book multiple weeks in a row, which made it difficult to track progress or address gaps—leading to confusion when switching between fractions and decimals.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student submitted written reports late and with unclear structure, prompting feedback: "She seems to have a difficult time understanding how to plan her report."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pullenvale noticed that one Year 5 student, who previously needed reminders for multiplication strategies, now recalls and applies them independently—she recently managed fraction addition with different denominators without hesitation.

In high school, Zoe has made a clear shift from confusion to mastery: after struggling with geometric sequences earlier this term, she got a tough sequence question correct on her non-calculator exam and confidently redid similar problems.

Meanwhile, Sanvi has begun tackling chemistry assignments ahead of schedule and is now connecting concepts between topics without needing prompts—last session, she attempted every practice exam question on her own initiative.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pullenvale State School.
