The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them carefully and attentively showing all engagement towards the student. This allows the tutor to understand what is difficult and what is easier for the student and at the same time displays to the student that the tutor cares and wants to better the student's life. I am…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to always be there for them. As teachers/tutors, it is not all about educating them in core subjects but being there for them through rough times. We have all experienced what it is like to be a student and sometimes they go through some difficult situations and I believe that…

Help them feel accomplished, proud of themselves and overcome their difficulties by finally learning/understanding a concept or skill.

Help them to actually learn the subject matter, and to help them want to learn. Having someone genuinely willing to spend time and effort to help you learn something is valuable when you're struggling, so if a tutor can do that for a student, wonderful things could happen. Reframing a concept in way that is more understandable, patience, and…

Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked…

A tutor should treat every students equally. Motivate slow learners and help them improve their learning.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student take an active role in their learning. Rather than simply dictate the steps to take, a tutor needs to ensure the student participates in each aspect of their learning, whether it be through examples or solving problems. A tutor also needs to be well informed on the content a…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic.

Local Reviews

Since Brendan has been working weekly with my daughter I have seen a big increase in her confidence, her understanding and sense of efficacy and mostly her willingness to do her maths which before she found abstract, confusing and "boring". She told me Brendan makes learning maths fun compared to my parental maths tips from "1874" (in her words). The monthly feedback and email support from Ezymaths is more than I had imagined when I thought about a tutor. For us, it is 100% worth the investment.

Inside GoodnaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ella focused on foundational biology, reviewing key definitions and exploring the basics of ecosystems to strengthen her science understanding.

In Year 11, Jack tackled bivariate data analysis in maths—learning about central tendencies and standard deviation—and also revisited biogeochemical cycles in biology.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah worked through Unit 3 Biodiversity topics by defining core biodiversity terms and practising data test skills with classification and energy flow examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Biology, homework completion has lagged and revision is inconsistent; as one tutor observed, "homework not completed and falling behind on tutoring content."

A Year 10 student's written maths work was messy and lacked clear working out, which made it difficult to trace errors—she often gave only answers rather than full steps.

In Year 7 Mathematics, a student did not bring his workbook home or communicate where he struggled, making review and targeted help impossible during the session.

These patterns left gaps in understanding that resurfaced during more complex problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Goodna tutor noticed Zadie, a Year 10 student, is now tackling complex trigonometry problems almost independently—she's started creating her own memory prompts and is confidently applying the quadratic formula after only occasional reminders.

In Year 11 chemistry, Lily moved from confusion to working out hydroxide ion concentrations from pH values by herself during the session, asking for clarification only on trickier chromatography details.

Meanwhile, Zebediah in Year 3 has begun openly pointing out words he doesn't know when reading aloud, rather than skipping them as he did before; last session, he completed "The Big Blue Truck" and all his sight words with no assistance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Riley is extremely happy with Andre. My son tells me "this guy's great ! Every time I call him because I have a question, he answers !" So thank you.

Sam Timbrell has worked out very well for Gabby RE Math Tutoring so far. He is patient, explains things well, and he makes certain Gabby is not confused before moving on to the next issue. He is on time, courteous and has provided extra work and work sheets as needed and appropriate.

El-Abed is tutoring Faith in Maths, he has understood & targeted her multiple gaps in Maths. Faith El-Abed has a great attitude & Faith is keeping focused after two sessions she has said it's helping.

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 Redbank Plaza Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Francis Xavier School.
