English Tutor Zillmere, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do is to listen to the student, as well as teaching. Encouraging the student to provide their input on a topic without having any pretentious predelection will allow the student to become more confident in their learning. I have the ability to gage the student's difficulty and work with them from that level.…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help the student build their confidence, resilience and organisation skills.

But a maths tutor that my parents connected me to helped me to regain my confidence once again. Through going…

I strongly believe all students learn differently and have their own unique study methods, therefore it is important for a tutor to adjust to the student's needs and personalise the study session. However, I also consider it useful that tutors help develop new study habits and introduce new ways to learn whilst tutoring in a way that the student…

Tutors should be able to convey information in a way that not only makes sense, but engages the student. A tutor should be as eager about the subject they are teaching as they are knowledgeable of the topic, and should strive to convey this excitement and passion through their teaching. The ability to help a student not only understand, but love…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there to support them in their wins and losses. They need to be available to answer their questions, no matter how silly. My strengths lie in my method of explaining things. Even though its a very minor thing, I've found in my own teachers that even if they are the best in the world, if they…

Inside DeagonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava worked through representing data using frequency tables and histograms, as well as reviewing how to compare sets of data visually.

Year 9 student Ethan focused on ratios, rates, and percentages by solving real-life problems involving proportional reasoning and calculating discounts.

For Year 10, Chloe practiced simultaneous equations using substitution and elimination methods, then tackled straight line algebra concepts including gradient and y-intercept identification from equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often needed reminders to recall basic factors when simplifying ratios, leading to extra time spent on multi-step division instead of practicing efficient methods. "She'd divide by 4, then by 2, missing the quicker path," noted one tutor during ratio work.

In Year 11, another student repeatedly delayed assignment drafts, which meant there was little chance to clarify difficult sections or seek feedback before deadlines.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student did not submit a full draft for assessment; as a result, key concepts and data analysis remained incomplete when support was most needed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Deagon noticed one Year 10 student who used to rush through maths problems is now backchecking her answers aloud, catching errors and explaining her reasoning—something she rarely attempted before.

In a recent high school session, Oscar demonstrated real initiative by identifying his own weak spots in algebra and actively applying feedback between lessons, which has led to noticeably more accurate solutions on practice exams.

Meanwhile, a younger student working on a cowshed reconstruction project figured out unknown dimensions independently for the first time, then confidently converted not-to-scale drawings into real measurements without needing hints.

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 Sandgate Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sandgate District State High School.
