Science Tutor Wulguru, QLD
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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Audrey is amazing! She works at my student's pace ensuring there is a clear understanding of the concept before continuing to the next topic. Audrey is effectively assisting my student in learning as well as applying the knowledge she is instructing on. I am very pleased with Audrey.

Inside WulguruTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Alex worked through quadratic equations, including more challenging problem types, and also practised naming ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry.

Year 9 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and calculating with integers using recent school test material for review.

For Year 6, Liam covered converting decimals to fractions (and vice versa) along with basic division skills using written examples.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students faced challenges with homework completion, as seen when a Year 10 student repeatedly arrived without finished assignments—"Sophia could not finish her assigned Homework again"—which left gaps in her graphing and coordinate work.

In senior science, one student struggled to organize resources for assessments; the inability to find an updated task version "was a vital part of the discussion," leading to confusion about requirements.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student was unprepared during an online session, slowing progress because the digital textbook wasn't open at the start. These moments created uncertainty and delayed skill-building during lessons.

Recent Achievements

In a Wulguru tutoring session, Jacinta, a high school student, came prepared with feedback from her teacher and presented a new essay draft that directly addressed past comments—something she used to avoid.

Another tutor in Wulguru noticed Eve's shift: after struggling with trigonometry concepts before, she now pinpoints where she went wrong on tests and asks for help instead of guessing.

In Year 3 maths, Sophia made a breakthrough by solving division problems independently for the first time; she immediately chose to tackle more on her own after finishing the set independently.

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 Yallorin Yimba Silver Lining School.
