I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

For me, it's super important for an english tutor to keep the lesson interactive and somewhat interesting, as interest fuels motivation. However, it's important not to forget that repetition is key in learning and retaining information. Certain math concepts need to be repeated to engrain into memory. Essays and writing styles have to be written…

The most important thing an english tutor can do is listen to their student and work out the most appropriate way to help them.

I believe that an english tutor should instil a positive mindset to learning in each student, by encouraging them to challenge themselves, be persistent, and know that making mistakes is a part of learning. I also feel that a tutor should teach their students practical strategies and skills that students can learn to use independently. This way,…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As an english tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced…

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…

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

Dakshi has been a wonderful tutor and if she is available next year we would love to have her back.
Lara

Inside Bahrs ScrubTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Zara focused on statistics, specifically calculating mean, median, mode, and range using real assignment data.

For Year 8, Lily practiced algebraic expressions and worked through problems involving solving equations for x.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James revised logarithmic equations by applying log rules and converting square roots to powers, then moved onto expanding polynomials with the FOIL method for deeper exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student did not complete their assigned maths homework or make any attempts at a major assignment, which left them unsure how to start questions independently.

In Year 8, over-reliance on previous examples was noted: "he kept looking at the previous examples we did together before attempting new questions," which slowed progress in rounding and multiplication.

For a senior student, missing communication with teachers while away meant uncertainty about key assessment tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student's distraction during online sessions made it difficult to focus long enough to master division, leading to unfinished content each lesson.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bahrs Scrub noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with statistics now identifying her own mistakes and explaining how she fixed them, instead of waiting for hints.

In Year 8, one student who often guessed quietly during algebra is now asking questions out loud and double-checking her reasoning—she even completed all her assigned problems without needing reminders.

Meanwhile, two Year 4 students who previously rushed through addition and subtraction are now pausing to check their answers and insist on finishing sums independently before showing the tutor, reflecting a real boost in self-reliance.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Windaroo Valley State High School.
