Tutor Townsville, QLD
The most important thing you can do for a student is usually to inspire them, as this is the number one key to success and personal growth for them in a subject, in my opinion. Allowing students to appreciate beauty and simplicity links the value of the topics to their work in it.
Of course, some students are already very passionate so for them…

Shane
Tutor Townsville, QLD
I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

Tutor Annandale, QLD
I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding.

As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student.

Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood.
I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

Tutor Townsville, QLD
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to engage the student in a way which makes them want to keep learning that specific subject if not fall in love with it. At the end of the day motivation must come from the student themself and as a tutor I believe it is my job to help the student find that motivation. I believe my…

Throughout my academic career, I have had many tutors. My favourite tutors have been the ones that have been patient and flexible with me. I think being patient towards your students allows a space where minds can grow and learn. Patience shows that you (as a tutor) want the student to be eager and try and tackle the problem before you assist them…

Local Reviews
Inside TownsvilleTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 11 student Isaac focused on chemistry, specifically identifying ionic and covalent bonds and determining chemical formulas for compounds.
Year 10 Sophia worked through simplifying index laws and evaluating order of operations with decimals during test review.
Meanwhile, Year 7 Eve practised solving linear equations with unknowns on both sides, progressing through step-by-step examples to build confidence in this foundational algebra skill.
Recent Challenges
Several students in Years 7–10 did not complete assigned homework, which led to confusion when tackling new algebra and percentage word problems—one tutor noted, "Sophia could not finish her HW. She needs a bit more practice with some questions in this topic in order to solve complex questions easily."
In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to locate the latest version of an assessment during the session, slowing progress on scientific arguments.
For Year 9 English, messy paragraph structure and weak thesis links meant ideas became muddled; sentences sometimes lost meaning by the second read. The result: time was spent clarifying basics instead of advancing into deeper concepts or refining written work.
Recent Achievements
One Townsville tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Jacinta, arrive with her English essay draft already annotated with feedback from both her schoolteacher and previous sessions—she'd clearly acted on the suggestions, revising her work before class for the first time.
Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 9) surprised her tutor by asking for help only when truly needed during algebra practice; she used to wait passively for guidance but now works through examples independently before checking in.
In primary maths, Sophia made a breakthrough with division—solving all assigned problems without hints or reminders.
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 Citylibraries Flinders Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Catholic School, The Strand.
