From my experience, it would be having patience and allowing yourself to understand the student as an individual, bringing yourself down to their level. That way the learning process no longer becomes a burden or problem but something fun and enjoyable whilst keeping everything professional. Quick learning, patience, the ability to connect with…

I believe that a good tutor must not only understand the subject they offer, but must also be able to foster the natural curiosity all students have. To set up a student for success in the future, simply teaching them the course material isn't enough. You need to teach the content in an engaging and fun manner so students will be motivated to…

Even if their grades don't improve, the most essential thing is to help develop their confidence and improve their attitude towards learning. If they are confident and interested in what they are learning, and feel positive about it, they are so much more likely to improve. Definitely my patience, as I have always been a very calm and patient…

I think its most important to build a strong foundation to build upon in a given subject. for example its not just important that you understand how it works, you should be able to explain how it works to someone else. this is because it shows that you have a strong fluency in the subject and not just the ability to memorise a process. A strong…

I would consider the most important thing to be giving them the confidence in their own abilities. I think it can be very easily for kids to doubt themselves but having a tutor can give them nourishing support that will help them in the subject and hopefully extend outside of that as well. My flexibility allows the lesson to flow in different…

I believe that learning should be a fun process. When students are engaged in learning, they can actually retain what they have learnt during the lesson. Being encouraging helps students gain confidence in their abilities and increases their willingness to learn. It is also important for a tutor to guide the student in the right direction so that…

Angus arrives punctually and is always prepared with his reference notes. My son feels comfortable asking questions and Angus is doing a fabulous job consolidating learning and reinforcing some math principles in Math Methods and Specialist Maths. Angus is very patient. We appreciate his support in tutoring.

Inside Jacobs WellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Milly worked on multiplying decimals (such as 0.3 Ă— 0.05) and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages while completing school homework.

Year 8 student Sophia focused on algebra equations in different formats and practiced finding the value of x in larger equations.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Leo revised data interpretation skills by calculating mean, median, and mode using class examples, and also created stem-and-leaf plots to represent datasets visually.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5, one student struggled to keep worksheets and notes organized—materials were scattered across multiple books and loose papers, making it harder to revise before tests.

A Year 8 student left a revision sheet incomplete, which meant the lesson couldn't target their weakest areas as planned; "we only started today and were unable to get through all the revision sheet."

In Year 11, messy or inconsistent working-out layouts in maths sometimes hid calculation errors or made checking answers difficult.

Meanwhile, a senior student hesitated to try new problem types, leading to slower progress when faced with unfamiliar exam questions.

Recent Achievements

One Jacobs Well tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation with algebra, has started tackling equations independently—she now hands in work with only her own corrections.

Another high schooler has shown a real shift: where he once avoided complex statistics questions, he's now confidently analysing graphs and can explain trends without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to guess answers in word problems now takes time to highlight keywords and correct mistakes on her own before moving forward. Last session, she completed all three multiplication tasks without any reminders.

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 Woongoolba State School.
