I think that the most important thing an english 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…

I consider the most important things that an english tutor can do for a student to be providing them knowledgeable support in their academic journey and applying their past experiences of the education system to their teachings. Most of all though, understanding that keeping up with studies is very important, whether a student has fallen behind or…

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 an english tutor to guide the student in the right direction…

It is very important that a student has trust in their tutor and whilst learning can also have fun. A student needs to feel like they are in a safe environment before learning can occur. I will bring out the best in every student in their own unique ways. I will show them that they can do anything they put their mind to it and help guide them onto…

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…

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 an english 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.

I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject. If the student is able to walk away from a session being able to understand the concept and feel interested and confident with it, they not only will gain better results in exams but will have a better idea of the subject as…

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.
