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. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help…

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 believe an english tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the…

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…

Matt Ahrens, Yatala

Inside YatalaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara explored statistics, focusing on calculating mean, median, mode, and range using class examples.

In Year 8, Aiden worked through algebraic expressions and practiced solving equations for x with step-by-step guidance.

For Year 10, Sam revised trigonometry concepts such as angles of elevation and depression and tackled converting between degrees and DMS to strengthen his understanding ahead of upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student did not complete his assigned maths homework or make progress on a major assignment; "he has not made any attempts to the assignment yet."

This led to confusion with rounding and over-reliance on previous examples instead of independent practice.

In senior high school, one student relied heavily on formula sheets for quadratic equations but hesitated to write answers without checking, which slowed exam performance.

A Year 3 student was noticeably distracted when working through subtraction problems—requiring written questions to stay engaged.

The unfinished work often meant class time was spent revisiting basics rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Yatala noticed that a Year 10 student, who had previously hesitated to ask for help, now confidently asks questions and explains her reasoning during algebra sessions—she even completed all tasks without reminders.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student initially struggled with percentages but, after practicing visual analogies, tackled every quiz question with ease and started attempting new problems independently.

In a recent primary session, two younger students who once waited for guidance began insisting on solving time-related questions first by themselves before asking the tutor to check their answers.

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 Mount Warren Park State School.
