English Tutor Sherwood, QLD
Listen to what they need, and what they are struggling with. Be patient if they don't understand something at first, and if they are still struggling with the concept after a while, trying teaching it to them in a different way so that they do understand. Have a full understanding of what you're tutoring before you try and explain it. I'm a very…

English Tutor Nathan, QLD
I think it would be acknowledging the difficulty in subjects to know that they aren't alone with their difficulties and also being able to explain to them the content of their subjects in new ways that makes sense to them. And also make them feel confident in their abilities as well as teaching them a new confidence of autonomy when it comes to…

English Tutor Robertson, QLD
The most important thing I can do for a student is adapt. Oftentimes it is impossible to cater towards individual students in a classroom setting and this can make it more difficult for certain students who learn differently. However, tutoring allows me to identify how individual students learn best and tailor the lesson accordingly. I am…

Be a non-judgmental voice they can ask about any questions they have on the subject matter and be someone who can effectively listen and explain their own knowledge to the student. I believe my strengths as a tutor are my understanding and practical use of Math thanks to my degree and my ability to listen to what a student is struggling with and…

English Tutor Brookwater, QLD
A tutor can provide personalised teaching to students that would not be available in a big classroom environment. A tutor also provides a safe space for students free of judgement where they can ask questions they might not get the chance to ask in class. Tutors also relate to the students and instill a level of confidence that truly improves…

Create a comfortable, secure environment in their sessions by praising students for effort and engagement rather than correctness. Tutor's should not just tell students whether they are correct or incorrect, but explain why. They must analyse a students working towards the solution to determine exactly where they are lacking in understanding and…

Inside DoolandellaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alexis worked through advanced exponentials and logarithms for an assignment, checking calculations and refining responses to meet assessment criteria.

In Year 10, Ben revised mean, median, mode, range, IQR and box plots using sample data sets in preparation for his upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam focused on external exam prep by practicing short response questions involving derivatives and integrals (including trig and natural logs), as well as tackling growth/decay problem-solving with laws of logarithms.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Specialist Maths, one student repeatedly skipped lines in algebraic working, which led to mistakes that "hid sign errors and caused incorrect answers."

Another senior student delayed seeking help when overwhelmed by extended chemistry questions, resulting in rushed editing and tangential writing instead of meeting criteria.

In Year 8 maths, a student struggled to lay out work neatly and often felt lost when facing terminology-heavy problems—guidance on task order was needed for progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner's tendency to rush through money word problems without checking the actual question led her to answer with total cost rather than change given.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Doolandella noticed that one Year 11 student, Gianna, has shifted from needing step-by-step support to now leading chemistry lessons by asking targeted questions and connecting ideas from previous assignments. She's even unpacking multi-mark questions independently and checking her own work for key requirements.

Meanwhile, Rohan (Year 10) is now consistently showing his full maths working with correct algebraic formatting—something he struggled with before. He has begun using precise terminology without prompting.

In primary, Mikaela recently counted out change and solved real-world money problems on her own after previously relying on reminders for each step.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Serviceton South State School.
