One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate the student and help build their love for the subject. Helping the student let go of their fear of the subject can not only help them in the present but also aid them in their future endeavours. I personally am aware of the feeling of fearing a subject but also conquering this fear by…

I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

Being able to build rapport was one of the skills that a tutor should have its a way for the student to be comfortable. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For instance…

Science Tutor Cranbrook, QLD
As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood. I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding. I've only been out of education for a few months so can easily remember how difficult it…

Inside KirwanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophia reviewed and simplified index laws and worked on evaluating integers and decimals from her recent school test.

In Year 10, Eve tackled a range of trigonometry questions along with similarity and congruence problems using past exam material to strengthen her problem-solving approach.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac focused on chemistry skills by identifying ionic versus covalent bonds and determining chemical formulas for various compounds through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to locate the correct version of an assessment during a session—this lack of organization meant time was lost clarifying basic requirements instead of tackling content. As one tutor put it, "He was just a bit unprepared for the session as he did not have his online textbook open."

In Year 8 Maths, incomplete homework was a recurring issue; several sessions ended with tasks left unfinished or overdue, particularly with algebra and graphing questions.

For English in Year 10, sentences lacked cohesion and paragraphs didn't align with thesis statements, leading to confusion when reviewing essay drafts.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kirwan noticed Jacinta, a high school student, has started bringing her own teacher's feedback to sessions and revising her essay drafts between lessons—she hadn't done this before and is now clearly more proactive about improving her writing.

Eve, also in high school, recently figured out exactly where she'd made mistakes on a tricky test after reviewing textbook exercises together; she used to just move on without really understanding what went wrong.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 7) surprised her tutor by asking questions when stuck and tackling Pythagorean theorem problems independently for the first time.

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 Citylibraries Riverway—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kirwan State High School.
