English Tutor Kearneys Spring, QLD
Not only is knowing the content extremely important, but the way tutors teach the content is more important. Every student has their own needs, and a tutor must recognise that some teaching strategies might work for some but not work for others. My strengths is my teaching style. I believe my ability to connect with the student allows the student…

Local Reviews

Easy to talk to team, found us what we needed, it was a tutor who gels well with our daughter. We looked with many companies but couldn't find anyone then these guys got us started with someone within a few days. And, they're good too! Pricing decent, good value.

Inside PrestonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Aryan practised solving word problems involving rates and ratios, and began foundational algebra skills with a focus on opening brackets and integer operations.

A Year 10 student revised statistics by tackling mean, median, and mode as well as probability basics using real-life scenarios.

For senior secondary, Sam worked through balancing redox reactions in Chemistry and applied quadratic function techniques like completing the square for upcoming assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

Several students across Years 3–12 are missing homework or leaving tasks incomplete. For example, one Year 10 student "had not done any of the homework assigned either," while a Year 7 student's notes recorded, "Did not do any homework assigned."

In senior Maths Methods, another struggled to organize their notes beyond the current topic and was advised to work on structuring schoolwork.

Distraction and short attention spans appeared in both primary and high school—one Year 8 student was described as "very distracted and very easily loses focus," which meant extra time was spent redirecting rather than deepening understanding during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Preston tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions, but this week started speaking up and clarifying doubts during algebra—something he hesitated to do before.

A Year 12 student recently worked through tricky induction examples in Methods; where she'd previously gotten stuck, she now lays out her responses systematically and checks her steps without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student has become noticeably more organised, completing all homework ahead of time after weeks of struggling to keep track. This session finished with him handing over a set of neatly written notes for review.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Ridge State School.
