Tutor Wynnum, QLD
I believe that the most imortant thing is to ensure that the student gains an understanding of the work, rather than simply memorising a process. That way they will be able to apply their knowledge to other areas. As a tutor, my main strength is my ability to help students understand the work. During my time at school, I would always find that you…

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 a tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it is…

A tutor should be there when a student need help, no matter how big.

Inside WakerleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ben practised addition and subtraction with money, focusing on real-life examples like shopping scenarios.

In Year 9, Chloe tackled linear equations and reviewed core concepts from the curriculum to strengthen her algebra skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia worked through log laws and applications as well as starting differentiation and integration using practice questions for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, interpreting complex worded questions often caused hesitation—one note captured it: "struggled to decide which formula applied in perimeter and area problems."

A Year 11 student working on logarithms tended to rely heavily on calculator shortcuts when stuck with base conversions, sometimes missing the underlying method.

In Legal Studies (Year 12), difficulty structuring research for a domestic violence email meant extra time was spent searching for relevant agencies instead of drafting content.

For a younger student in Year 4, confusion over long division remainders led to incomplete answers and visible frustration mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Wakerley tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate on worded maths problems now reads them aloud and underlines key info before tackling each step independently.

In a recent session with a Year 12 student, there was clear progress when she solved integration questions without needing hints—a big shift from relying on the tutor for every stage last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who previously mixed up "b" and "d" in spelling quizzes wrote out her entire list with zero reversals this week and finished her times tables worksheet without corrections.

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 Moreton Bay Boys' College.
