I think the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop an intrinsic passion for the content they study, and to assist them in finding methods of learning that make it easier for them to learn. I would rather not spoon-feed answers unless it is absolutely necessary, and would rather a student think critically…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them build confidence in answering questions. Also helping them to improve academically not only overall but include tips and personal experience to help them better their vocabulary and approach methods to tasks. I believe my strengths are being able to help break down tasks clearly…

Being able to understand how much a student can handle without overwhelming them, keeping lessons engaging so the student does not lose interest in the subject, and not demeaning a student for not understanding topics that may be conventionally 'easy' as it may likely discourage the student - these are a few of the most important principles a…

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…

Understanding their student and how they learn is the most important thing a tutor can have. Understanding when they are struggling when they say they're fine or figuring the most effective strategy your student learns by. I am someone who believes strongly that everyone is able to be taught. I enjoy the challenge of teaching students. I am also…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do include helping the student understand a topic as opposed to shortcuts and memorisation.

The most important thing a tutor can give to his/her student is confidence. The confidence to know that whatever the problem is. There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own. Eventually the student does not need the tutor as a crutch if the…

I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient. Patience is always ideal when tutoring as something cannot always be fully understood. Additionally I have been told I’m very understanding…

Local Reviews

Since Brendan has been working weekly with my daughter I have seen a big increase in her confidence, her understanding and sense of efficacy and mostly her willingness to do her maths which before she found abstract, confusing and "boring". She told me Brendan makes learning maths fun compared to my parental maths tips from "1874" (in her words). The monthly feedback and email support from Ezymaths is more than I had imagined when I thought about a tutor. For us, it is 100% worth the investment.

Inside GoodnaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ella focused on foundational biology, reviewing key definitions and exploring the basics of ecosystems to strengthen her science understanding.

In Year 11, Jack tackled bivariate data analysis in maths—learning about central tendencies and standard deviation—and also revisited biogeochemical cycles in biology.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah worked through Unit 3 Biodiversity topics by defining core biodiversity terms and practising data test skills with classification and energy flow examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Biology, homework completion has lagged and revision is inconsistent; as one tutor observed, "homework not completed and falling behind on tutoring content."

A Year 10 student's written maths work was messy and lacked clear working out, which made it difficult to trace errors—she often gave only answers rather than full steps.

In Year 7 Mathematics, a student did not bring his workbook home or communicate where he struggled, making review and targeted help impossible during the session.

These patterns left gaps in understanding that resurfaced during more complex problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Goodna tutor noticed Zadie, a Year 10 student, is now tackling complex trigonometry problems almost independently—she's started creating her own memory prompts and is confidently applying the quadratic formula after only occasional reminders.

In Year 11 chemistry, Lily moved from confusion to working out hydroxide ion concentrations from pH values by herself during the session, asking for clarification only on trickier chromatography details.

Meanwhile, Zebediah in Year 3 has begun openly pointing out words he doesn't know when reading aloud, rather than skipping them as he did before; last session, he completed "The Big Blue Truck" and all his sight words with no assistance.

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 Redbank Plaza Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Francis Xavier School.
