Make a comfortable vibe for the students when you teach them. If the students feel comfortable to study with you and help them get interested in the subject, it will be easier for you to assist students in achieving their learning goals. And I believe that helping them make small improvements day by day is the most important thing a tutor can do…

Another important thing is to brush up on knowledge. Because with every year there may be different and easy ways to learn something and so…

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse.…

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…

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…

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…

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.
