Tutor Yugar, QLD
As a previous student, I think that being able to help a student confidently and comfortably understand and face their subjects is a crucial thing that a tutor can do for a student. Likewise, understanding the individual needs of each student is very important for the whole tutoring process to go smoothly. My problem-solving and organised mindset…

I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be understanding and supportive when the student is struggling with the topic. This allows students to feel more comfortable and therefore willing to try harder to learn. Another important thing for tutors is to teach the student, rather than show the student. The goal for a…

I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

Tutor Camp Mountain, QLD
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just to teach them content - its essential to help a student become more self-sufficient in the field they are studying, and to teach them how to learn more effectively. For example, when teaching a child mathematics, I view simply teaching the content as not enough, as if you…

I think some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and find ways of teaching that will be most effective for that particular person. It's so important to encourage the students throughout the whole process. To be patient, understanding and kind and to incorporate elements of fun into the whole process as…

Tutor Cedar Creek, QLD
Tutoring one-on-one as opposed to teaching to a group allows a much more tailored approach to an indivudal student. Not everyone learns in the same way, so finding the perfect way for an individual student to understand a topic is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. I'm told by my ex-students that I am very patient and willing…

Inside Jollys LookoutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily focused on trigonometry and Pythagoras' Theorem, using diagrams to solve right-angled triangle problems.

In Year 10, Josh worked through linear equations and practiced rearranging formulas, then applied these skills to real-world scenarios involving rates and speed-distance-time calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Zoe tackled finding the area and perimeter of shapes as well as reading time and solving word problems about elapsed time.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on index laws sometimes relied heavily on written notes, rather than attempting simplification independently; she kept double-checking the formula instead of trying to recall it.

In a Year 8 geometry session, messy diagram annotations led to confusion when splitting complex shapes—unclear labels slowed progress and created repeated second-guessing.

During a Year 6 lesson on time calculations, forgetting to bring previous worksheets meant valuable revision opportunities were missed.

Meanwhile, in senior Maths Methods, one student hesitated to use feedback from past questions about rearranging equations, so similar errors reappeared in their latest test.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jollys Lookout noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess at worded rate problems now confidently breaks them down, correctly converting units and pinpointing the best value—something that was tricky for him last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student, who often hesitated with graphs, recently drew a conversion graph independently and explained how to predict values from it.

At primary level, one student shifted from confusion about reading clocks to accurately telling time in both "minutes past" and standard formats 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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Nebo State School.
