English Tutor Hollywell, QLD
Actively listening to what the student had to say in regards to what they understand and what they struggle with is very important. Letting the student also feel involved in their learning, as opposed to being ordered around sets up a safe environment for the student. I am open minded to the ways other people find they learn best, allowing myself…

I consider that the most important thing a student can do for a student is to never give up on the student. There are downtimes and a loss of motivation. I feel that the tutor should help the student through that phase and provide encouragement. Moreover, an english tutor should give time and support to the student. I think my strength as a tutor…

Inside HollywellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on multiplying tens and hundreds as well as division with decimals using targeted book exercises, plus some spelling practice.

In Year 10, Olivia reviewed trigonometry concepts—specifically applying the unit circle to solve problems—and moved on to advanced formulas like the reduction formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Riley prepared for an upcoming maths exam by working through surface area revision and practicing related problem-solving questions from a mock test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 biology student struggled to organise notes for a content-heavy metabolism unit; flashcards were introduced, but "too much information on a single card" limited their usefulness.

In Year 10 maths, an incomplete homework task meant missed practice with volume equations before an upcoming exam.

A Year 9 student avoided writing out algebraic steps—"he tries to solve and calculate things in his mind without writing"—which led to persistent sign errors.

Meanwhile, a primary student left both the homework booklet and spelling words at school, making it difficult to reinforce learning routines at home that week.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hollywell noticed Kirsty, a senior student, now independently draws on literary devices—like strong openers and dropping into conflict—to strengthen her creative writing, a big shift from earlier drafts where she struggled to engage the reader.

Meanwhile, Holly in Year 11 achieved A grades for both maths and biology assignments after applying feedback with far more precision than last term, showing real initiative by reaching out to teachers for extra guidance.

In primary, Jack volunteered to be timed on a compound words activity and finished it in under sixteen seconds—a new sign of self-driven learning he didn't show before.

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.
