I believe it is very important for a tutor to be able to identify students' unique learning styles and tailor every student's learning plan accordingly to their strengths and weaknesses. It is important to also identify what motivates and excites each student to learn and encourage active engagement in the tutoring sessions. As a tutor, my…

The most important things include preplanning lesson ideas to ensure that the scope of the syllabus is covered and also ensure that time is not wasted if the student doesnt have any questions or tasks planned. Another important thing is to brush up on knowledge. Because with every year there may be different and easy ways to learn something and so…

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is.

I always adjust my approach in accordance with the needs and areas of difficulty of the student. It's crucial that I continue to be adaptable so that I can modify my…

Tutoring allows you to know your students better and know their individual needs. Students who go see their teachers during office hours for tutoring perform better because their questions are answered in one-on-one tutoring. I believe in equity. I struggled in school.

It is important to understand their learning style and move from there. They must also try to build a rapport with the students. Tutors exist to assist and guide the pupils in figuring…

Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

Also, a tutor should acknowledge the students hard work and struggles, not only their high results. I am very patient since all children have different speeds when it comes to learning.…

The first thing that a tutor needs to do is identify what the underlying problem is. It may be that the student has very weak number facts, has a negative attitude to the subject or requires a lot of visuals to grasp a particular concept. Once the tutor has identified the particular problems, they then need to tailor a specific individual program…

One of the key aspects of teaching is adapting a student-centred approach. Every student is different - learning with different styles and at different paces. This makes is highly valuable for a tutor to be considerate and take into account the students' needs. A tutor must be willing to answer any questions the student has and consistently assess…

Local Reviews

My daughter has been tutored by Gabrielle for two months now. Having failed her previous Biology test, we decided she needed some help. Gabrielle quickly established a great rapport with my daughter, which was very important, as my daughter does lose track of things when she feels anxious or lost. Gabrielle recognised that my daughter needed help in report writing, and worked with her on that as well as Biology. My daughter made immediate improvement, and went on to ace her end of year Biology test. All credit goes to Gabrielle; I highly recommend her to anyone.

Inside CoombabahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Lily reviewed and edited her English assignment draft, focusing on refining content and responding to task sheet feedback.

Year 11 student Sam consolidated new Biology term material and worked through trigonometry problems in preparation for an upcoming maths exam.

For Year 12, Jack revised commission, piecework, and royalties for a General Maths assessment using targeted exam questions, then created Biology flashcards aligned with key learning objectives.

Recent Challenges

Ongoing difficulty translating creative ideas into writing—she could verbally tell a story, but "could not translate that onto the page." Even with prompts, the blank page caused hesitation and slow progress; suggested margin notes and daily fiction reading have yet to become habit.

In Year 12 Biology, assignment feedback was not fully addressed: working backwards from teacher comments helped, but grammar issues lingered because reading recommendations weren't followed.

For a Year 8 maths student, confusion stemmed from disorganized working—formulas and steps were jumbled across pages, which made tracking errors harder during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Coombabah noticed Holly has become much more proactive in her learning—she recently reached out to her biology teacher on her own for feedback and sought extra maths revision questions, which she hadn't done before.

Kirsty, after struggling to connect with readers in her essays, achieved a 20/25 by independently applying new strategies like leading with character and using literary devices drawn from her fiction reading.

In Year 4, Jack began self-editing his sentences without prompting and asked to be timed on compound word activities, showing a real shift toward taking initiative in his learning.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coombabah State School.
