English Tutor Biggera Waters, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them the confidence to excel independently, without them, following the guidance they provide. I believe I am friendly, approachable and can teach in a way that is simple for the student to understand. I also see myself as honest and reliable, allowing students and parents alike to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the ability of effective self management in their studies. The best thing a tutor can do is to teach them learning strategies and develop a student’s self awareness in their learning, so that the students are more independent and are able to develop their own learning…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for the student is to be flexible in their teaching methods and approaches to learning/teaching content as there are so many different learning styles out there and they are there with us because they may be having trouble with the teaching methods used at school. In those cases in particular, it's…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to change their perception of what their learning to not only just a task, but rather a hobby.

Kate
English Tutor Pacific Pines, QLD
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…

Manasi
English Tutor Helensvale, 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 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 different…

I want to cater to that student's needs. I think it is extremely important to ask what the students' goals are. You need to know the direction they want to go in order to meet their needs. Then take their goal and break it down into achievable pieces that they can accomplish. Lot of students get overwhelmed in math and my goal is to make them…

Impressive Inside SouthportTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
