Modern History Tutor Bundamba, QLD
I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to explain concepts clearly, adapt to each student’s learning style, and provide encouragement that builds confidence. A good tutor should be patient and supportive, helping students feel comfortable asking questions while also guiding them to think independently. Tutoring is not just about…

Assisting students to see the value of education and inspiring a genuine appreciation for it are also…

Modern History Tutor Tivoli, QLD
I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for a tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also believe…

Modern History Tutor Collingwood Park, QLD
Most important things I would say would be to be encouraging and prepared. As I said students can feel discouraged sometimes, so I think being positive and patient so that they can have an open mind and have some resilience when content is hard is crucial. As a tutor I think one of my biggest strengths is that I am a student as well and have…

Local Reviews

Our student is very happy with her tutor's in-depth explanations. I am very happy with EzyMath's clear information, quick responses, and the well-organised and responsive tutor provided within a few days of making the request. The monthly report is detailed and clear, and gaps in general study skills are being filled, which will help with all subjects.

Inside RipleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Amelia focused on telling time to the quarter hour and practiced subtraction with borrowing using number lines.

For Year 10, Issy worked on differentiating arithmetic versus geometric sequences and applying these in context-based exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James revised perpetuities and annuities (including recursive models), then explored planar graphs, Euler's formula, and their applications through graphing exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student in Mathematics Methods struggled to identify and track key variables when building reducing balance loan models—"she mixed up which values went where," as one tutor noted. This led to confusion during complex multi-step questions, especially under exam-style conditions.

In Year 8, a student's written work for worded problems became hard to follow due to inconsistent layout; this made it difficult for her to check answers or find errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided showing working on skip counting tasks, hesitating out of fear of making mistakes. Confidence wavered after setbacks with long division.

Recent Achievements

One Ripley tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on prompts is now independently working through complex reducing balance loan and annuity problems, confidently picking out key information herself.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated with bivariate data questions is now attempting unfamiliar problems independently, showing clear initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would often guess the time rather than ask for help has started using an interactive clock tool and now checks her answers out loud 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 Ipswich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ripley Central State School.
