English Tutor Flagstone, QLD
I consider the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to build a rapport with them so that the student feels comfortable asking questions when they do not understand topics or content, which allows the tutor to address this issue. I find that my strengths as a tutor are being able to work with the student to ascertain the…

English Tutor New Beith, QLD
A tutor must be able to grow and adapt with their student, adopting different teaching styles to retain knowledge for longer, and to promote a love of learning beyond high school studies. I am patient, adaptable and critical. I believe that mistakes and failures are essential in prospering growth within education, and for that, I am never…

Provide the student with a path to solve any problems they may encounter for any subject - whether that's a series of problem solving steps or a way for students to shine their own light in dark times where they think there's no way to overcome their struggles. Making learning fun and engaging for the students and giving students the …

English Tutor Munruben, QLD
To talk them through the material and help them to see different ways of looking at the problems, if one way isn't helping to change it and explain things differently, to find a better way of explaining things for them as all people learn and take information in in different ways. I believe letting them have time and having patience to let them…

I believe two of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are help them gain some new insight and understanding into a subject, as well as try to inspire a genuine passion for the topic.

English Tutor Yarrabilba, QLD
The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

English Tutor Greenbank, QLD
For me, an english tutor isn't a person that helps a student achieve a high grade or even a grade that a student wants - although that is one characteristic of the job. For the most part, a tutor is someone who sharpens the pencil that the teacher has given the student, and shows them how to write properly. They erase the mistakes the student…

Nicolas is a very good tutor. He is nice, patient and smart as far as I observe.

Inside South MacleanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alex explored displaying data, focusing on histograms and identifying which statistics concepts needed extra support.

In Year 10, Jess worked through trigonometry problems, concentrating on applying relevant formulas in preparation for an upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex reviewed how to classify scatterplots and calculate standard deviation—using both manual and calculator methods—and discussed interpreting variance in the context of a real-world assignment on fuel consumption efficiency.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student reported missing marks on a recent test due to not labelling units and graphs, as well as difficulty using her calculator for standard deviation—"most were small errors," she explained.

In Year 9, one student often looked at complex word problems and "didn't know where to start," leading to lost time until each step was broken down together.

For a Year 8 algebra session, skipping steps when converting equations led to repeated sign errors that were hard to catch later.

In senior calculus, uncertainty with rules like the chain rule caused hesitation mid-question, breaking focus just when confidence mattered most.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in South Maclean noticed Diali has started catching her own errors during practice exams, a big step up from last term when she'd rush through without checking.

In Year 11 maths, one student who previously hesitated with worded problems is now breaking them into steps and confidently underlining key details before solving—she even tackled three substitution questions independently this week.

Meanwhile, Alex (Year 7) contributed her own ideas while working through a scatterplot assignment, instead of just following along as she used to. At the end of her session, she volunteered to do an extra question on her own.

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 Jimboomba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian Technology and Agricultural College.
