I believe that a 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 of…

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…

Science Tutor Cranbrook, QLD
As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Science Tutor Douglas, QLD
Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood. I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

Science Tutor Wulguru, QLD
Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding. I've only been out of education for a few months so can easily remember how difficult it…

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 GulliverTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac focused on writing ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry, including naming conventions and forming chemical equations.

Year 10 Sophia worked through simplifying index laws and applying the order of operations to various questions from a recent school test.

For Year 9 Eve, sessions addressed trigonometry questions and explored similarity and congruence concepts by reviewing past exam mistakes and discussing strategies for unfamiliar problems.

Recent Challenges

Several students across Years 3–12 showed process challenges impacting progress.

In Year 7, not completing assigned homework meant missed opportunities to reinforce concepts—"Sophia could not finish her HW," leading to repeated confusion in word problems and sign changes.

A Year 11 student struggled with resource organization; "he could not locate the most updated version of the assessment," so vital discussion time was lost to searching for files instead of deepening analysis.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's trigonometry work revealed over-reliance on calculators without clear written steps, making it difficult to pinpoint errors when answers didn't match expectations.

Recent Achievements

One Gulliver tutor noticed a real shift with Jacinta in Year 11 English: she arrived to her session already armed with teacher feedback and a revised essay, showing far more initiative than earlier weeks when she waited for guidance.

In Year 10 Maths, Eve moved from partial attempts on trigonometry problems to independently tackling both familiar and complex questions after some targeted practice.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 session, Sophia—who used to need extra help with division—solved several problems without prompting and even asked for harder ones before the lesson ended.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with the tutoring and our tutor is very good with my children. They are really enjoying it and this speaks volumes as they were both very opposed to the idea!

Sahm has been an excellent teacher and we are very happy as to the way he works with our daughter.

Connor is really enjoying the sessions with James and finds him very helpful. He says James can explain things very clearly and is helping him get through his work and study more efficiently. He has a maths exam this week and is feeling more confident already.

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 Aitkenvale—or at your child's school (with permission), like Currajong State School.
