You have to inspire the students to want to learn and understand, this is something my high school teachers did to me which has taken me so far in my academic career already. My clear communication, my patience and my knowledge and understanding of mathematics and physics being a 3rd year university student studying a bach. of maths with a minor…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can provide a student with is the confidence in themselves that is needed to accomplish what they dream. By explaining things in a way which makes sense to each individual student they are equipped with the tools they require to get where they want to be in life. My ability to explain concepts in a way…

The most important thing is to understand the students misconceptions and how to correct the cause of that misconception. To ensure that their fundamental knowledge is corrected before pursuing more complex tasks. It is also essentially to show empathy and respect so they may respect you back and try their best for you. I am empathetic and…

Science Tutor Stapylton, QLD
I think being positive and encouraging is the best thing a tutor can do. With previous students I have tutored, I found that many of them lacked the confidence in themselves, making them less interested in the work and anxious about assessments. But breaking the question/concept down, encouraging them to try, suggesting different methods to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and understand their learning style as to understand how to best approach content and exercises. As a tutor, my strengths are that I'm patient and flexible, and I am open to trying as many different approaches and strategies as necessary to help get the content…

Building a student's confidence, and sharing the joy that comes with improvement. One of the most important things is patience and the motivation to teach. Furthermore, It's essential that the student is comfortable with you and that a good relationship is established between both of you. A tutor should also be a good listener and demonstrate…

The most important thing as a tutor is to be there for your student, not only academically but mentally and emotionally as well. I want my students to feel like they can ask me for advice on subjects that may not pertain to their education, but I want them to also feel like they can come to me for help when it comes to their academics as well.…

Inside WindarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zara worked on statistics, focusing on calculating mean, median, mode, and range using her class data.

In Year 9, Ethan tackled solving algebraic equations for x and practised operations with negative numbers and fractions through targeted exercises.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student revised logarithmic equations by applying log rules and converting square roots to index form as part of exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, a student did not attempt assigned homework or begin their maths assignment, with notes stating "he has not made any attempts to the assignment yet." This avoidance delayed essential practice with rounding and multiplication.

For a senior student preparing for tests in Algebra, there was reliance on looking back at worked examples before attempting new questions, rather than building recall and independent problem-solving—"he kept looking at the previous examples we did together before attempting new questions." This dependency is limiting progress toward independent mastery.

In Year 12, test anxiety meant a practice exam wasn't completed under timed conditions, impacting readiness for actual assessments. This anxiety directly affects performance under real exam conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Windaroo noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help; this week, he started voicing his questions as soon as he hit a roadblock, leading him to independently solve every percentage and rounding problem thrown his way.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who struggled at first with mean, median, mode, and range surprised both of us by not only understanding these concepts faster than expected but also confidently explaining her answers back after practice.

In a recent primary session, two Year 3 students insisted on tackling new time-telling problems themselves before asking for feedback—something they'd been too unsure to try just weeks ago.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Windaroo Valley State High School.
