Its not a belief but I know that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to inspire. And also keeping in mind that these students are the future of tomorrow, hence with inspiration, it would aid them to shape a better future for the World. I aim to motivate each student to study for a better future rather than just for exams.…

Biology Tutor Taringa, QLD
As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

Prepare them for independent learning. If a student can understand the process of learning then they really don't need any guidance and can improve on their own.

I'm convinced learning is an ongoing process and as a tutor, I hope to contribute the community by making a difference in the lives of young people. For me, this involves encouraging others to learn as a passion rather than an obligation, so that others can also love learning as I do. I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be easily available to them. Often times a student may wish to clarify a quick concept or question outside of tutor times for homework or other purposes. By being easily available to the student, a tutor can spare a few minutes of their day to support and promote the student's learning.…

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient. Patience is always ideal when tutoring as something cannot always be fully understood. Additionally I have been told I’m very understanding…

Local Reviews

Since the v first session with Radu, we were all totally hooked! He is not just the BEST tutor but the most amazing person. Radu has the ability to calmly install confidence into his students and ensure that they fully understand all the concepts, not just learn them. He is kind, professional and a honest joy to have around ??

Inside RiverhillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cara focused on consolidating times tables (4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) through oral quizzes and practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions.

Year 11 student Sanvi worked on binomial probability (including mean and standard deviation for discrete random variables) and tackled calculus problems involving differentiation of logarithmic functions using the chain rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex reviewed integration by substitution in the context of probability density functions and revised polynomial division alongside applications of the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, several students hesitated to set out their reasoning clearly in integration and probability questions—one tutor noted, "he skipped stating 'by product rule' in test working," which made justifying answers harder.

In a Year 9 Chemistry session, the analysis section was left unfinished and required better organization before moving on.

For a Year 4 student, forgetting to keep a homework notebook meant tasks were often missed or incomplete.

During advanced trigonometry (Year 12), relying heavily on calculators for standard values led to gaps when tackling unfamiliar problems without technology in assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Riverhills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration by substitution, now independently applies the method to tackle unfamiliar calculus problems.

In another session, a high schooler working on chemistry assignments has started her work early for the first time and is now connecting concepts across topics without prompting—a big shift from previously leaving tasks until the last minute.

Meanwhile, Cara in Year 4 has moved from relying on notes for times tables to scoring full marks in quizzes purely from memory and now volunteers to try new problem types before being asked.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
