Science Tutor Burleigh Waters, QLD
The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as a tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something. Additionally,…

I believe the most important things I can do for a student are to foster a positive learning environment, provide personalized support, and promote independent learning. Creating a supportive atmosphere where students feel comfortable to ask questions, express their concerns, and engage in discussions is crucial. I strive to understand each…

Science Tutor Burleigh Heads, QLD
1. Working with the student to establish student-centred goals. 2. Being reliable and widely available for the student. Being a student can be stressful, therefore being just a phone call away if an assignment deadline is approaching to assist in overcoming hurdles that may arise can be a huge comforter to avoid unnecessary stress. Further to…

I believe that a tutor must guide the student to learn independently by introducing different methods and techniques to learn. This is because an hour or two of supervised study in a week is not sufficient to learn and excel in a subject. Further, in this modern world with ever expanding technology there are many avenues to study and learn the…

I think that providing a safe and encouraging space for a student is the most important thing for a tutor to do, as well as ignite some passion in them to succeed and be a support system. I believe that I am very approachable and friendly, so that students would be comfortable with asking for help. I also feel as though I can share some of my…

I think a tutor has a lot of power in empowering a student and making them love learning and love the subject. If a tutor can reorient a student's perspective of a certain topic and make the student learn it, it enables the student to engage more with the subject and hopefully increases their passion for learning and education in general which I…

The most important aspect of tutoring is making learning enjoyable!

Inside ElanoraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella focused on writing a creative narrative inspired by a favourite book and completed English worksheets covering sentence structure, abbreviations, homonyms, and onomatopoeia.

In Year 8, Willow worked through fraction operations—including simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions—as well as tackling written problems involving fractions.

Jeremy (Year 10) reviewed Pythagoras' Theorem using practice questions and revised key measurement topics such as perimeter, area, and volume to prepare for his upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student's "I can do this in my head" approach led to skipped written steps in algebra and fractions—making it hard to spot sign errors until the end.

Another, working on Year 11 Chemistry, occasionally forgot to bring her notes or calculator, meaning class time was lost looking up formulas instead of practicing reactions.

In a Year 6 English session, incomplete written paragraphs were common; as the tutor noted, "her responses need clearer structure and shouldn't be rushed." This meant that when feedback was given, she struggled to apply it fully before moving on.

Recent Achievements

One Elanora tutor noticed that Jeremy, a high school student, now checks his own work on algebra and trigonometry problems—something he rarely attempted before—and has started correcting mistakes with minimal prompting.

Willow, also in high school, used to hesitate when tackling fraction operations but recently managed to convert and compare fractions independently during her session, showing clear progress from previous uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Bella in Year 6 showed new initiative by asking for extra homework and was able to spot and fix errors in her paragraph about clouds without being reminded.

What they say about our tutoring

So far so good. The kids are actually enjoying their time with Agnes so that's s good sign. Jaren came out of last weeks tutorial session saying "well you learn something new everyday". It just gives them more confidence with mathematical concepts, I think they're getting something out of it. Thank you.

Sofia was progressing and Sofia was very comfortable with the tutor. She gave Sofia a lot of help and her understanding of maths had improved and she learned to enjoyed maths, even the homework set and that surprised me. Thank you again.

Chelsea loves Melanie as her tutor. She is a great tutor, smart, very friendly, and very patient. She has all the quality as a tutor and we did like the way she taught Chelsea. Thank you so much for giving Chelsea the best tutor, we are happy with everything.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Palm Beach-Currumbin State High School.
