Tutor Kearneys Spring, QLD
Not only is knowing the content extremely important, but the way tutors teach the content is more important. Every student has their own needs, and a tutor must recognise that some teaching strategies might work for some but not work for others. My strengths is my teaching style. I believe my ability to connect with the student allows the student…

Also, he can help identify the students weaknesses and provide alternatives by which the student can easily learn. I have patience and understanding. I also have excellent writing skills.

Tutor North Toowoomba, QLD
Listening carefully comes first. All other things can follow from listening. From listening I can understand their vocabulary, grammar level, sense of language and so forth. After this, I can firstly adapt my language to them and then secondly, design specific exercises to take students into better habits so that they can express themselves as…

Tutor Kearneys Spring, QLD
I believe the biggest thing a tutor can do is show the student how to study, meaning how to break down concepts and how to analyze. That way you will always have the tools should you decide to learn something later on in life. I believe I am very patient and take my time to explain things to students. I also like for them to take their time to…

Tutor Darling Heights, QLD
In my opinion, the most important thing about tutoring is creating rapport with the student. Because when the student likes you, he/she begins to trust you. And when you gain their trust, they would listen to what you are saying then they would learn what you are tutoring. As a tutor, my strength is I have a really deep foundation of Mathematics…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to develop the student's passion for the subject of maths so that they will start to actually enjoy it and not see it as just another subject. I am fun, creative, have a strong passion for doing maths and I love to help people. I think that I also have a strong way of guiding someone not understanding a…

I believe a tutor should take teaching very passionately when doing her/his job as these early days in students life will play important role in their later life. At the same time, I think a tutor should be emotionally intelligent enough to build a good relationship with student so that student enjoys learning. I try explain the science concepts…

Local Reviews

Life-changing for my son, even from the first lesson we could tell the tutor hit the nail on the head. So many problems to deal with besides the actual maths, like note taking, paying attention in class, managing your own time... these are the kind of things my son would refuse to learn from me, but coming from his tutor it's received so well and has been truly an incredible improvement for all of our lives! Seriously recommend.

Inside HarristownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Kagan focused on area calculations of compound shapes and solving problems involving triangles and trapezoids using worksheets.

In Year 11, Tom worked through questions on financial maths—specifically annuities and compound interest—and practised applying network theory concepts to real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Bonnie tackled balancing redox reactions in Chemistry by identifying oxidised and reduced species, as well as practising logarithmic functions in Mathematics for her exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, technical issues with Zoom sound and a 40-minute dropout interrupted focus, leaving some clarification on E₀ values and log manipulations unresolved—"solutions for induction examples given post-lesson," but feedback wasn't immediately acted on.

A senior student tackling their first major assignment needed help structuring it and understanding the ISMG marking guide; without clear organization, progress slowed.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student did not complete assigned homework and struggled to stay focused during multiplication practice, often zoning out mid-problem. In one session, "he had not done any of the homework assigned either"—making in-lesson time less productive as new material had to be delayed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Harristown noticed that one Year 12 student, who previously hesitated to adapt his answers when faced with tricky data in Chemistry, is now confidently modifying his approach based on the evidence presented—a big shift from just sticking to "expected" answers.

Another high schooler has started working through complex integration questions methodically and now recognises the intent behind feedback, actively incorporating suggestions into final responses instead of overlooking them.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to stay focused at first is now completing her homework before sessions and rapidly recalling multiplication tables without prompting.

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 Highfields Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Concordia Lutheran College - Concordia Primary Campus.
