To give the student confidence, and to overcome exam anxiety. Many of my students are under in high stress situations, such as year 12 students trying to get a good enough result to get into university. They have a high workload. So it's important to calmly effectively show the student that it's not too hard, and to put in the work, so there is no…

I think to build a relationship and to find the best ways for the student to learn. There are no right or wrong ways to learn and everyone is different, so finding that way is very important. I am a good listener and very patient as I know how hard things are to learn for the first time. I am also quite knowledgeable in most stem subjects, and I…

This is where the tutor jobs come in and provide a customized learning experience that is ideal and unique to each student. Tutors are like safety inspectors where they 1. Recheck their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help build their confidence. A student is able to do anything, learn anything but only if they believe that they can do it or learn it. Being friendly, easy going, relaxed and flexible are key to giving a student confidence because without it, they aren't going to progress. I have learn't…

Generally, students that seek the help of a tutor are struggling with the approach of their teacher to explaining a certain subject.

A tutor can be a good role model for the student. So, I would ensure that I am always on time and help them understand mathematical concepts in a friendly way. If a student has any queries on certain concepts on the day before the exam, I would take the extra step to answer their queries via email/phone. I regularly watch tutorials in mathematics…

First of all, communication is definitely vital in order to engage with tutees.

This skill is essential in the case of tutoring, as most of the knowledge exchange are only…

Local Reviews

We are very happy with Theodora and since the school year is coming to an end, we look forward to seeing her again in 2018.
Sandra, Benowa

Inside BenowaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex revised clock terminology and the 24-hour clock, then practised converting between fractions, percentages, and indices using test examples.

For Year 10, Chloe focused on factorising and expanding binomials as well as solving algebraic equations step-by-step.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ethan worked through redox reactions in Chemistry and tackled logarithms, applying theory to practice questions for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Science, one student hesitated to attempt questions independently before sessions—"doesn't want to try the question before with me as doesn't want to do it wrong"—which led to slower progress on assignments and built up anxiety around mistakes.

A Year 11 student in Maths repeatedly wrote down the wrong formula when tackling trigonometry problems; confusion persisted during revision, making it harder to correct errors efficiently.

In Year 8 English, untidy handwriting and incomplete assignment drafts meant feedback was hard to act on.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student lost focus at session starts, needing extra reminders just to organize materials and begin work.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Benowa recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through algebra is now carefully showing all working and checking steps before moving on.

In a senior chemistry session, another high schooler who previously mixed up equations surprised his tutor by recalling the right formulas for titration problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who was hesitant to speak up started rephrasing maths concepts herself and answering questions aloud during her Benowa tutoring lesson.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Benowa State High School.
