I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work with them…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand their concerns with the materials they are being taught. Every student has unique problems to overcome in their schooling life and viewing each student as an individual is key. It is also important to be able to rephrase and recontextualise material given to them by their…

English Tutor Bundall, QLD
I think a tutor can teach students some learning methods and think mode through which students can not only know how to solve a simple question but also apply these to the similar questions. First, I am a really patient and mild girl. If students can not understand what I teach, I will be very patient to teach them again and again. Second, I had…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to instil the key executive study skills that are used in the sessions that serve the student well and ensure they apply them all the time. These skills I hope to cement include organisation, focus and time management. I also believe it is important to form a connection with the student and…

English Tutor Arundel, QLD
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…

I believe the most important things a tutor can provide are motivation and discipline. I might not be the smartest tutor, but I’m there to accompany my students, help them trust themselves, remind them of their goals, and keep them disciplined in their studies whenever they feel lost. It’s not about how fast they progress but about the…

English Tutor Arundel, QLD
It is most important to make the student enjoy the lesson in a way that they would not think of it as obligatory but rather make the students truly want to learn. Also, a tutor should acknowledge the students hard work and struggles, not only their high results. I am very patient since all children have different speeds when it comes to learning.…

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…

I think the best tutors teach at a speed that the student requires. If a tutor is impatient, not only does it reduce what the student learns but also discourages them from asking for help. Tutors need to accommodate each specific student, as each one is different. I have been studying for a Bachelor of Law/Arts for the past four years. This study…

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing.

Inside LabradorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophie worked through **ratio problems** and time zone conversions, also tackling basic probability concepts using real-life examples.

In Year 10, Riley focused on **trigonometry fundamentals** and applying sine, cosine, and tangent rules to solve triangle questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Suneha deepened her understanding of **logarithmic functions**—practicing graphing them as inverses of exponentials—and explored differentiation techniques like the product and quotient rules with step-by-step problem solving.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student skipped writing steps in algebra, saying "I can do this in my head," but ended up missing sign errors and struggled to catch mistakes when simplifying.

In Year 7, a student left homework incomplete due to other schoolwork, making it harder to reinforce basic multiplication and division.

One Year 11 learner didn't use test time well—she finished early but left questions blank, missing chances for extra marks.

A senior student in calculus hesitated to attempt new question types, sticking only with familiar practice; this slowed progress with tricky derivative problems and dented her confidence mid-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Labrador recently saw a Year 11 student who used to freeze when faced with time series data now confidently analyse and interpret patterns on her own, showing real independence.

Another high schooler had always been hesitant to ask for help but is now openly raising questions during calculus lessons and double-checking her answers instead of quietly guessing.

In Year 7, one student initially struggled with volume calculations and often skipped writing units, but after working through examples together, he started getting the right answers and consistently included correct units in his work.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Musgrave Hill State School.
