English Tutor Mons, QLD
Being able to teach the content is one thing, but knowing how to teach someone to learn is far more important. People learn in different ways, and engage with different subjects based on their level of interest. As an english tutor, the most important thing to do for a student is to teach them in a ways that works for them, and to get them…

English Tutor Sippy Downs, QLD
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to design study plans around what the student is finding most difficult in their studies to then further develop their knowledge and skills in these areas. I am able to explain in depth concepts and problems that I have full knowledge of - especially maths. Although the student may…

English Tutor Maroochydore, QLD
It is so important for an english tutor to know how a student learns. Some students don't work well with rote learning, so making activities that are fun and engaging is very important. Also, being aware that some students are more visual learners or kinetic learner, so being able to cater to that is extremely important. I believe that I can…

English Tutor Mons, QLD
The most important thing should be to make the student feel understood and supported. Not every child finds learning easy and so if you can make them feel confident, they will have a much higher chance of succeeding as they know someone is in their corner and genuinely wants them to do well. I am very flexible, so if a student has a certain way of…

Make them feel comfortable and minimise stress and anxiety around learning. With confidence, children can achieve anything! I am very relative to the children and form string relationships. I am intuitive to each child and can recognise the small skills within the concepts that they are having trouble with. I also help them to recognise where they…

Inside DiddillibahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student covered Engineering exam content by analysing bending moments and complex problems, plus explored circuit theory and nuclear physics using example folios.

For Year 11, work included exponential probability distributions with mean calculations, as well as tackling polynomial long division and function review.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student focused on percentages and ratios alongside place value and working with numbers containing decimals.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 engineering student was hesitant to seek clarification from teachers about assignment expectations, missing the chance to adapt QCAA exemplar tasks effectively—"he must actively ask and bombard his teachers with questions," a tutor noted.

In senior maths, another student struggled with time management and productivity; unfinished work meant important feedback couldn't be applied before deadlines.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 science, over-reliance on school resources limited independent problem-solving when tackling data analysis assignments.

For a Year 5 session, untidy written work made it difficult to check answers during review, so mistakes sometimes went unnoticed until later.

Recent Achievements

One Diddillibah tutor observed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to speak up now actively asks for clarification whenever unsure, rather than quietly guessing through maths problems.

A high schooler who once rushed assignments last minute has started completing homework ahead of schedule and double-checking answers before submission.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often skipped punctuation in writing now consistently uses full stops and capitals without needing reminders—something that used to require constant prompting.

Last week, she even read her own story draft out loud from start to finish, pausing only to correct herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Thomas so far, he seems to have a good rapport with my daughter, and she is progressing and building up her skills and confidence. Thomas is cheerful and very patient!

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

Very happy with the way it is going thanks Gene. Benedict is a good tutor and Saf and I are both happy with her progress.

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 Mobile Library 1—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kuluin State School.
