The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

I think that the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method.

For me, it's super important for an english tutor to keep the lesson interactive and somewhat interesting, as interest fuels motivation. However, it's important not to forget that repetition is key in learning and retaining information. Certain math concepts need to be repeated to engrain into memory. Essays and writing styles have to be written…

While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As an english tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

Inside WindarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zara worked on statistics, focusing on calculating mean, median, mode, and range using her class data.

In Year 9, Ethan tackled solving algebraic equations for x and practised operations with negative numbers and fractions through targeted exercises.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student revised logarithmic equations by applying log rules and converting square roots to index form as part of exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, a student did not attempt assigned homework or begin their maths assignment, with notes stating "he has not made any attempts to the assignment yet." This avoidance delayed essential practice with rounding and multiplication.

For a senior student preparing for tests in Algebra, there was reliance on looking back at worked examples before attempting new questions, rather than building recall and independent problem-solving—"he kept looking at the previous examples we did together before attempting new questions." This dependency is limiting progress toward independent mastery.

In Year 12, test anxiety meant a practice exam wasn't completed under timed conditions, impacting readiness for actual assessments. This anxiety directly affects performance under real exam conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Windaroo noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help; this week, he started voicing his questions as soon as he hit a roadblock, leading him to independently solve every percentage and rounding problem thrown his way.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who struggled at first with mean, median, mode, and range surprised both of us by not only understanding these concepts faster than expected but also confidently explaining her answers back after practice.

In a recent primary session, two Year 3 students insisted on tackling new time-telling problems themselves before asking for feedback—something they'd been too unsure to try just weeks ago.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Windaroo Valley State High School.
