English Tutor Banora Point, NSW
Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become an english tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not…

English Tutor Coolangatta, QLD
The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

A tutor can do many essential things for a student: provide a safe space for learning, understand their individual needs, align the session with the students' goals, provide encouragement and support, and provide the student tools essential tools for lifelong learning. However, above all, fostering a nurturing environment that focuses on the…

English Tutor Tweed Heads, NSW
Other than helping a student genuinely understand the content in their course, I think that the most important thing an english tutor can do for them is to help them in developing and implementing strategies to allow them to become independently successful. This may mean developing a better organisational process, implementing a system for…

English Tutor Elanora, QLD
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is help a student find and maintain their motivation and enthusiasm for learning. It is absolutely essential that a tutor review concepts, cover material, and ensure that a student is making progress, but is equally important for a tutor to make the learning experience positive for the…

English Tutor Elanora, QLD
Understanding self, and the acquisition of skill and knowledge are the most important things to give a student. Yes, the report card is an important ticket for students, and especially those in tutoring. But, all that knowledge will perish without use. The growth of the individual, who they are becoming through the process - a competent and…

Teach not the style I want to teach or the style I learnt but in the style that the student best learns. The content would most easily be absorbed when it is presented in the way the student best learns I am Friendly, extroverted, assertive, committed, open minded to learning new things and trying new techniques. I am not dismissive of questions…

The most important things I can do for students is help them improve. Improve their confidence as well as support them. A tutor should not only help teach but to help a student maintain time management skills and to also maintain future studies. I am patient and I am able to explain material in numerous ways, which helps when one explanation may…

Inside PiggabeenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Bella focused on writing creative narratives based on familiar texts and practiced English skills like sentence structure, homonyms, and onomatopoeia using targeted worksheets.

In Year 8, Willow worked through fraction operations—adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing—as well as converting fractions to mixed numbers and simplifying expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jeremy concentrated on exam revision by reviewing Pythagoras' Theorem problems and measurement concepts such as area and volume of shapes and prisms.

Recent Challenges

The Year 12 student struggled with organization—"I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions," she noted after focusing only on basic revision.

In Year 9 algebra, another student hesitated to show her work to others and rarely acted on feedback; as observed: "I keep suggesting to show others her work, however, this isn't evident."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student arrived without paper needed for area calculations, halting progress mid-lesson.

In senior maths, one student's written layout became hard to follow when working through simultaneous equations involving fractions and exponents—mistakes then went unnoticed until late review.

Recent Achievements

A Piggabeen tutoring session saw Jeremy, a high school student, go from second-guessing his algebra skills to independently tackling complex equations—he now recognises and corrects mistakes on his own rather than waiting for prompts.

Willow, also in high school, used to hesitate when faced with fraction problems but has started converting and comparing fractions unaided; last lesson she completed a Grade 7 worksheet solo after needing reminders just weeks ago.

In primary, Bella recently began double-checking her answers during time management tasks instead of rushing ahead—a noticeable shift from earlier sessions where errors often went unchecked.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilambil Public School.
