Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student. Not every child is able to cope with his/her studies and routine. Being a student of Psychology, I prefer encouraging and motivating them to do better each day. Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

To be patient enough to make the student understand the concepts and mould the student to be capable enough to apply the concepts in the real life. Listen, explain and communicate with students efficiently and build a healthy and friendly relationship with them. I am efficient in time management and I can multitask and work even under pressure.…

To be very engaging so that the student can be in a better environment to be able to learn. My strengths are being able to break down a situation to make it easier to understand and then going through a sequence in order to make learning a lot…

Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive. I feel like growing up most teachers were boring, and could not deliver the concept or usefulness of the things that were being taught. So when I teach I make sure I deliver not only the concepts…

Aside from teaching the content in an understandable and logical manner, I also think that a tutor should try to inspire a student to become a self-directed and motivated learner. Such a transformation creates the best performing students because they no longer overly rely on the tutelage of others. Rather, they learn to handle a variety of…

The most important thing a tutor can do is evaluate each student separately and tailor lessons to the specific student. Equally important is giving students the confidence to tackle the subject area they wish to improve. My strengths are delivering information in a digestible format and catering lessons to the individual students' needs. I also…

Be encouraging and supportive, understanding that mistakes and errors are a part of the learning process. Additionally, tutors should encourage a lot of questions from the student. Tutors should also not generalise their teaching but rather tailor it to each student, and if possible make it enjoyable. Lastly, it is important to be on the same page…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to boost their self-confidence and self belief so they understand their capabilities to perform well in their academics. My biggest strength as a tutor is my adaptable teaching style. I am able to modify my teaching style to the preference and learning style of my students so they can learn…

We are all good and super pleased with Joel. He really is awesome and very flexible to fit in with Katie’s schedule and requirements on learning.

Inside Hope IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ava worked through multiplying tens and hundreds as well as division with decimals using her year-level text, plus completed a spelling practice from random words in her book.

In Year 10, Josh focused on preparing for his General Maths assignment and used a tool to practise rearranging equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily reviewed feedback on her English assignment draft and refined the content by editing sections according to her task sheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Biology student struggled to organise notes for a dense unit on metabolism; as one tutor noted, "breaking down objectives into flashcards and converting them into questions helped clarify revision."

In Year 10 Maths, a student found it difficult to distinguish between method, results, and discussion sections in reports—often not showing steps when rearranging equations, making feedback less effective.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly left homework and materials at school, missing out on spelling practice and task completion. These lapses in organisation or process made learning slower and led to extra time spent catching up instead of progressing.

Recent Achievements

A Hope Island tutor noticed Holly, a Year 11 student, took the initiative to contact her biology teacher for extra feedback on a challenging question and achieved an A in both maths and biology after consistently applying teacher and tutor suggestions—an impressive step up from her last results.

Meanwhile, Kirsty in Year 10 has become much more comfortable using literary devices independently in her creative writing, drawing on feedback and reading fiction to build richer characters; she recently scored 20/25 on her essay, surpassing her previous mark.

In Year 4, Jack volunteered to be timed for his compound words activity and completed it in under 16 seconds—his fastest yet.

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 Upper Coomera Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coombabah State School.
