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…

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…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can provide a student with is the confidence in themselves that is needed to accomplish what they dream. By explaining things in a way which makes sense to each individual student they are equipped with the tools they require to get where they want to be in life. My ability to explain concepts in…

I believe two of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are help them gain some new insight and understanding into a subject, as well as try to inspire a genuine passion for the topic. As a tutor, I believe my one of my strengnths would definitely be my intense love of English. I'm also extremely time efficeint and…

It is very important that a student has trust in their tutor and whilst learning can also have fun. A student needs to feel like they are in a safe environment before learning can occur. I will bring out the best in every student in their own unique ways. I will show them that they can do anything they put their mind to it and help guide them onto…

The most important thing as a tutor is to be there for your student, not only academically but mentally and emotionally as well. I want my students to feel like they can ask me for advice on subjects that may not pertain to their education, but I want them to also feel like they can come to me for help when it comes to their academics as well.…

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.
