After studying for a long time, I concluded that when students engage with the topics, they tend to learn more easily. Therefore, the tutor must present the content in a creative and innovative way, seeking always feedback with the students on how much they are absorbing and only proceed when all the necessary foundations of the topic are clearly…

The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as a tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something. Additionally,…

Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become a tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not only get…

First thing should be rapport building because it is very important to gain the trust and confidence of the student. Second would be establishing a set of routine so that the time in each session is used up efficiently. Lastly, tutors should effectively motivate students in achieving their goals as well as inspire them to improve each day. My…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable with the learning material and go up and beyond until they finally understand what they are learning.

Inside TugunTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Bella focused on completing a creative narrative inspired by a familiar book and reinforced her understanding of sentence structure, homonyms, and onomatopoeia using targeted English worksheets.

In Year 10, Jeremy reviewed Pythagoras' Theorem and practised calculating perimeter, area, and volume of shapes to prepare for upcoming exams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia worked through algebraic manipulation and began exploring scatterplots by interpreting data relationships and identifying variables within real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, skipping written drafts meant Bella's spelling and grammar errors weren't caught—her tutor noted, "To improve would be to test her spelling and grammar by writing her answers down."

During Year 7–8 maths sessions, forgetting materials like paper for calculations delayed progress on area questions.

In Year 11 General Maths, lack of preparation before tutoring made it difficult to tackle complex exam-style problems; as one comment put it, "I tried to prepare for the basics in all the year 12 curriculum that I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions." This left challenging topics feeling out of reach mid-session.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10 maths, Jeremy used to hesitate with trigonometry and algebra but now solves most problems independently, even catching his own errors without prompting.

Willow, a Year 8 student, was once unsure about fractions but now chooses the right method for each question and rarely needs reminders on steps she struggled with before.

Meanwhile, Bella in Year 6 has started asking for extra homework and is rereading her writing to spot grammar mistakes herself—something she avoided previously—finishing her latest paragraph after checking it for errors on her own.

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 Palm Beach Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Currumbin State School.
