Modern History Tutor Manly, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower them with the tools and confidence to become independent learners. Beyond just imparting knowledge, a tutor should encourage critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of self-efficacy in their students. This involves not only explaining concepts but…

Modern History Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it is…

Modern History Tutor Birkdale, QLD
Make them interested in the content. The students won't want to learn unless they care about the content and while grades are good motivators, pure enjoyment and interest in a subject make it easier to learn. I can teach a varied range of subjects but can quickly adjust to each individual students needs. I try to find an approach that the student…

By the very nature of the experience being very personal and focused, the teaching provides a level of rapport and understanding of both the student's strengths and weaknesses creating an environment for more accelerated learning. The most important thing the tutor can do is to understand the individuals needs more holistically to provide the best…

Modern History Tutor Ormiston, QLD
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to participate in class activities outside of the tutoring session. My most valued moments of tutoring my maths student are when she came back to a session and told me that she participated in class discussions and answered questions in class. I believe it is…

Being present and active. I think being on your phone or doing something else while teaching the student makes it a negative experience for them as they may feel invalidated or that their needs aren't a priority. I work great with kids. Especially through my role as a swimming teacher, I have learnt how to communicate better with them in order to…

Modern History Tutor Manly West, QLD
I believe that tutors can offer a unique perspective that cannot be expected from a professional teacher. Consisting mostly of undergraduate and postgraduate students, most tutors would still have the memories of high school fresh in their minds. Therefore, students would understand on a personal level the sort of challenges that a student might…

Local Reviews

My daughter had lost all confidence that she could do math and was no longer trying in school. The tutor that comes to see her is encouraging and non-threatening and has managed to change her attitude. It is great to see her improvement. Her tutor is reliable and punctual, and I like that I get a written report of what they have covered each session.

Inside Wellington PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan focused on reading comprehension and spelling, while also practising idea development for short writing tasks.

Year 8 student Lily worked through ratios and percentages in maths and explored poetry analysis by discussing language choices in set texts.

For Year 9, Ben tackled factorising algebraic expressions and solved linear equations using step-by-step worked examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on algebra skipped showing steps in expansion and factorising, which meant errors went unnoticed until much later, causing frustration.

For a Year 8 English session, independent idea generation lagged; when asked to flesh out essay responses, she waited for prompts rather than brainstorming herself.

In Year 5 reading tasks, lapses in patience led to rushed passages—comprehension stalled whenever tiredness set in.

Meanwhile, a senior preparing for exams struggled with self-management: assignments were left unplanned, so quality ideas didn't translate into well-structured responses under time pressure. These moments left progress feeling patchy and uneven across subjects.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Wellington Point noted that a Year 10 student, who used to struggle with bracket expansion and exam technique, has started applying these strategies independently during practice tests.

In Year 8 maths, one student now chooses problem-solving methods for ratios without prompting—a big shift from relying on step-by-step guidance earlier in the term.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who previously hesitated when sounding out longer words is now tackling tricky vocabulary aloud and sequencing her story ideas with far more confidence than before. Last session, she read through a new chapter without needing support.

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 Wynnum Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wellington Point State School.
