Engineering Studies Tutor Townsville, QLD
There are various skills and attitudes that a tutor should have inorder for the student to enjoy and learn during lesson time. Being able to build rapport was one of the skills that a tutor should have its a way for the student to be comfortable. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For instance…

Engineering Studies Tutor
I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

Inside DouglasTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sophia reviewed simplification of index laws and worked through school-assigned questions on integers and order of operations.

For Year 10, Eve focused on trigonometry concepts such as finding unknown sides and angles in triangles, along with similarity and congruence questions from past exams, using step-by-step problem breakdowns.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac tackled chemistry topics including identifying ionic versus covalent bonds and determining chemical formulas for compounds.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to locate the most updated assessment file during the session, slowing progress—"he could not locate the most updated version of the assessment which was a vital part of the discussion."

In Year 9 Maths, homework was left incomplete across several weeks, limiting feedback opportunities and practice with word problems and sign rules.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 English student's draft paragraphs lacked cohesion and needed clearer links to their thesis.

Each instance resulted in time lost clarifying basics or retracing steps instead of moving confidently into more complex material or exam preparation.

Recent Achievements

One Douglas tutor noticed Jacinta, a Year 11 student, taking real initiative in her English studies—she arrived at her session with a draft essay already written and had actively sought feedback from both her teacher and tutor, improving on previous drafts.

In Year 9 maths, Eve shifted from passively accepting mistakes to independently identifying where she went wrong on her test after revisiting textbook exercises together.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 8) surprised her tutor by asking questions whenever stuck during their first lesson—a big change from holding back previously—and worked through Pythagorean theorem problems without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Chloe has had 2 sessions and is starting to find Maths easier already. She has tests coming up and Rosario is focusing on this. We've found Rosario to be patient when explaining the different processes to Chloe. She is also warm and friendly with her and this is good for Chloe who also has anxiety issues.

Thanks Gene it seems to be progressing well .  Vibha is committed and doing a great job . I'm pleased so far.

Alex, he helped Matt enormously. Not only the actual helping him understand how to tackle some questions but I feel Matt gained confidence going into the exams feeling like there were now no areas he had a poor knowledge of . He was particularly happy with his 2nd maths exam but in both cases he said there questions he would not have been able to answer without Alex's help.

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 Citylibraries Riverway—or at your child's school (with permission), like Enkindle Village School.
