The primary responsibility of a tutor towards a student is to ensure that they grasp concepts with much greater ease and in an engaging manner. The key asset I possess as a tutor is my combination of enthusiasm and ability to remain…

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…

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…

I feel it is a priority of the tutor to pass on their passion for learning and knowledge to their students. Once this has been accomplished, however long it takes, teaching content and having the student learn it quickly and confidently is simple. Equally important is for the student to feel safe and respected around the tutor. If they do not…

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.
