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…

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…

There are various skills and attitudes that a tutor should have inorder for the student to enjoy and learn during lesson time. 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…

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…

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…

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…

Inside MurrayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Isaac worked through writing ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry, focusing on naming conventions and balancing chemical equations.

For Year 9, Sophia tackled simplifying index laws using school homework and extra practice with evaluating decimals.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Eve focused on trigonometry questions from a recent exam and reviewed similarity and congruence, emphasizing strategies for both familiar and unfamiliar problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Mathematics, missed homework and repeated incomplete assignments ("could not finish her assigned Homework again") slowed progress on topics like graphing and sign changes.

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to locate the latest version of an assessment task during a session; "he could not locate the most updated version of the assessment which was a vital part of the discussion."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 English, work often lacked cohesion and grammatical accuracy, making some sentences unclear on first read. Time lost searching for materials or clarifying questions meant less practice with complex tasks and deeper skills.

Recent Achievements

One Murray tutor recently saw a big shift in Jacinta, a high school student who used to wait for feedback before making changes—this time, she arrived with her essay already revised using both teacher and tutor comments, showing real independence.

In another session, Eve, also in high school, recognised her past mistakes on a maths test and confidently explained how she'd fix them after working through similar problems together.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 7) started asking questions as soon as she felt unsure about the Pythagorean theorem instead of quietly guessing—she finished all example questions without reminders.

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 Aitkenvale—or at your child's school (with permission), like Townsville Grammar School - Annandale Campus.
