A tutor must be patient as well as motivating for their students. They must be organised and have a well structured plan to support their students while still being open to their ideas and opinions. The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

Most students want to get through the next exam, but I also consider it important that knowledge and skills are reinforced and retained for years, if not for life. Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked…

My teaching style is a self-made one which is partially inspired by my mom and my grandmother who were also teachers. * I try to simplify things as much as possible. In fact, i believe, the most difficult thing to do is to simplify something. * I always try to include real-life examples while explaining concepts which helps the students to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic. If you know the student well enough, that student will begin to enjoy studying and being able to perform great academically. I believe that is the greatest…

Not just be a teacher; to be there for the student as a friend. With that, accelerated learning will be a biproduct, when the environment is uplifting and comfortable. This will make learning more enjoyable and efficient. Ability to communicate very effectively with others, to be a friend to those that I am tutoring. I consider myself patient,…

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…

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…

The most important thing a tutor can give to his/her student is confidence. The confidence to know that whatever the problem is. There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own. Eventually the student does not need the tutor as a crutch if the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student take an active role in their learning. Rather than simply dictate the steps to take, a tutor needs to ensure the student participates in each aspect of their learning, whether it be through examples or solving problems. A tutor also needs to be well informed on the content a…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style.

Local Reviews

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.
