English Tutor Annandale, QLD
I believe that an english tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms…

English Tutor
One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate the student and help build their love for the subject. Helping the student let go of their fear of the subject can not only help them in the present but also aid them in their future endeavours. I personally am aware of the feeling of fearing a subject but also conquering this fear by…

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

We have just had our first session with John and I am writing to let you know how impressed I am with John. He was on time, polite and dressed professionally . His calm manner with Oliver was great. Oliver really enjoyed it and liked John very much . I am looking forward to many more positive sessions that result in Oliver improving .

Even though Brendan only has Gennady for a short time, but I can see a great improvement in his maths, also he seem to be more confident.  The feedback I got from Brendan is Gennady was very easy to understand, he tend to explain thing in a simple way, we tried many tutors before and wasted so much of his time.  I definitely recommend him for VCE specialist maths.

I would like to thank you for providing a wonderful service to us.  We were recommended to you by a friend of my daughters and this being the first time we had sought a tutor, we weren't really sure what to do or how to go about it.  You made the whole process simple and easy for us.  Even though the initial tutor didn't relate to my daughter, there was no problem with us changing to another tutor.  This wonderful young woman was just the right person for my daughter.  They both understood each other and my daughter approached her year 12 maths exam with so much more certainty and knowledge.  We won't know for a while yet, the result of the exam but my daughter feels very confident about it.

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.
