To foster the love of learning and aid in filling gaps where areas that need foundation is lacking. I am great at figuring out how students learn. This I believe is my best trait as a teacher. I thoroughly believe that learning stems of inspiration, passion and want in students. Bringing all those traits towards learning will foster love of…

I think that the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help…

Biology Tutor Hope Island, QLD
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 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 biology tutor to guide the student in the right direction…

Biology Tutor Coomera, QLD
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 biology 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…

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 the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and understand their learning style as to understand how to best approach content and exercises. As a tutor, my strengths are that I'm patient and flexible, and I am open to trying as many different approaches and strategies as necessary to help get the…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to equip them with the confidence they require to suceed academically. Ultimately the role of the tutor is to facilatate the child's learning. Instilling a sense of belief in the child's self will ultimately allow them to suceed in their goals. I am extremely patient. In addition my work…

Biology Tutor Upper Coomera, QLD
Be able to read students and figure out a way to communicate to them in a way that works to them. You can’t treat every individual the same way and being able to identify that is imperative for effective tutoring. I’m very compassionate and sympathetic. I listen to a student to identify their needs/weaknesses to curate a tutoring method that…

Local Reviews

My daughter has been tutored by Gabrielle for two months now. Having failed her previous Biology test, we decided she needed some help. Gabrielle quickly established a great rapport with my daughter, which was very important, as my daughter does lose track of things when she feels anxious or lost. Gabrielle recognised that my daughter needed help in report writing, and worked with her on that as well as Biology. My daughter made immediate improvement, and went on to ace her end of year Biology test. All credit goes to Gabrielle; I highly recommend her to anyone.

Inside NorwellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Milly worked on multiplying and dividing decimals (e.g., 0.3 x 0.05) as well as converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, often using homework tasks for practice.

Year 8 student Jasmine focused on interpreting stem-and-leaf plots and calculating mean, median, and mode, then moved on to comparing data sets using these measures of centre.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Daniel tackled probability questions by expressing answers in both fraction and percentage forms and created number combinations to find specific probabilities.

Recent Challenges

Organisation and presentation habits emerged as key areas for improvement across both primary and secondary years.

In Year 9, "keeping all worksheets/information together in one book so it's easier to find and refer back to" was a challenge, with loose papers making revision less efficient.

A senior student faced difficulty accessing revision materials because her laptop was broken and her notes were scattered, leaving her unable to review effectively before assessments.

As one tutor observed after a missed homework submission in Year 10, "we only started today and were unable to get through all the revision sheet," highlighting how incomplete tasks limit targeted support during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Norwell tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely on guessing is now confidently breaking down algebraic expressions step by step, double-checking her work without prompting.

Another recent high school win: after weeks of struggling with area and volume formulas, a Year 8 learner began recalling the right formula independently, even explaining her reasoning out loud as she solved practice problems.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, a Year 4 student who previously rushed through multiplication now pauses to highlight keywords in worded questions and corrects her own mistakes before moving on.

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 Gainsborough State School.
