The most important thing I can do for my students is create a safe, supportive environment where they feel confident to ask questions and make mistakes. I focus on understanding their individual learning needs and explaining concepts in a way that finally ‘clicks’ for them. My goal is to empower them to become independent, motivated learners.…

To understand that not every brain is the same; people aren't 'one size fits all' when it comes to learning, and you can't expect to mould a student to fit your learning expectations. Instead, a tutor needs to be flexible enough to fit the student's needs and goals. A depressed student will need something different from an autistic student, who…

I believe that the most important thing for a tutor to do is help the student understand how to learn well. This can be done by fostering a love of learning. The tutor should teach the student learning techniques that assist with what they are learning now, and have life-long applications. I am patient with helping others of various learnings…

Being able to understand how much a student can handle without overwhelming them, keeping lessons engaging so the student does not lose interest in the subject, and not demeaning a student for not understanding topics that may be conventionally 'easy' as it may likely discourage the student - these are a few of the most important principles a…

A tutor can provide personalised teaching to students that would not be available in a big classroom environment. A tutor also provides a safe space for students free of judgement where they can ask questions they might not get the chance to ask in class. Tutors also relate to the students and instill a level of confidence that truly improves…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

We have really appreciated having James as a tutor.
Casey, Bellbird Park

Inside GailesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Ella reviewed key definitions and foundational biology concepts, with a focus on biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity using recall exercises.

For Year 11, Jayden practiced data test skills related to reservoir pools and cycling pools in the context of ecosystem analysis.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia tackled bivariate data analysis and statistics topics such as calculating central tendencies and standard deviation, applying these methods to real datasets.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion and organization were key issues in senior Biology, with one student not submitting assignments on time and "falling behind on tutoring content."

In Year 11 Physics, draft progress lagged as planning was prioritized over finishing the written report.

A Year 8 Maths session revealed working out was often messy, making it difficult to track errors or revise ("working out can be tidier and handwriting can be worked on").

For a primary student reading Three Billy Goats Gruff, frustration led to avoidance when unfamiliar words appeared—colouring provided a short reset before returning to word identification.

Recent Achievements

A big shift was noticed with a Year 11 student who, after previously hesitating to speak up, is now actively asking clarifying questions during biology revision and even initiating discussions when unsure—a sign she's taking real ownership of her learning.

In senior maths, another high schooler recently mastered the long division process and now completes problems independently without waiting for prompts, where before he'd pause and ask for each step.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who used to skip unfamiliar words during reading now stops to sound them out and identifies which ones need extra practice before moving on.

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 Redbank Plaza Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Camira State School.
