The most important thing a tutor can do is give their student confidence. Helping them to realise that they can understand a concept or solve a problem should increase their confidence in themselves, which is a vital trait to have as they move forward in high-school and further on in life.

The most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student is to be adaptable and have strong communication skills. Adability is crucial because not every student learns in the same way. I always adjust my approach in accordance with the needs and areas of difficulty of the student. It's crucial that I continue to be adaptable so that I can modify my…

Tutoring allows you to know your students better and know their individual needs. Students who go see their teachers during office hours for tutoring perform better because their questions are answered in one-on-one tutoring. I believe in equity. I struggled in school.

The first thing that a tutor needs to do is identify what the underlying problem is. It may be that the student has very weak number facts, has a negative attitude to the subject or requires a lot of visuals to grasp a particular concept. Once the tutor has identified the particular problems, they then need to tailor a specific individual program…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student.

Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

It is most important to make the student enjoy the lesson in a way that they would not think of it as obligatory but rather make the students truly want to learn. Also, a tutor should acknowledge the students hard work and struggles, not only their high results. I am very patient since all children have different speeds when it comes to learning.…

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance.

Local Reviews

Angus arrives punctually and is always prepared with his reference notes. My son feels comfortable asking questions and Angus is doing a fabulous job consolidating learning and reinforcing some math principles in Math Methods and Specialist Maths. Angus is very patient. We appreciate his support in tutoring.

Inside HollywellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on multiplying tens and hundreds as well as division with decimals using targeted book exercises, plus some spelling practice.

In Year 10, Olivia reviewed trigonometry concepts—specifically applying the unit circle to solve problems—and moved on to advanced formulas like the reduction formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Riley prepared for an upcoming maths exam by working through surface area revision and practicing related problem-solving questions from a mock test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 biology student struggled to organise notes for a content-heavy metabolism unit; flashcards were introduced, but "too much information on a single card" limited their usefulness.

In Year 10 maths, an incomplete homework task meant missed practice with volume equations before an upcoming exam.

A Year 9 student avoided writing out algebraic steps—"he tries to solve and calculate things in his mind without writing"—which led to persistent sign errors.

Meanwhile, a primary student left both the homework booklet and spelling words at school, making it difficult to reinforce learning routines at home that week.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hollywell noticed Kirsty, a senior student, now independently draws on literary devices—like strong openers and dropping into conflict—to strengthen her creative writing, a big shift from earlier drafts where she struggled to engage the reader.

Meanwhile, Holly in Year 11 achieved A grades for both maths and biology assignments after applying feedback with far more precision than last term, showing real initiative by reaching out to teachers for extra guidance.

In primary, Jack volunteered to be timed on a compound words activity and finished it in under sixteen seconds—a new sign of self-driven learning he didn't show before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Just wanted to let you know that Mark seems like a good match for Nik. He really likes him and had a really successful first session. Thanks for your support and assistance in finding him!

Bre says she is happy with Ameya. He explains things well and ensures she understands things before moving on. Only week 3 but all good so far.

Hayden is starting to feel more confident with his maths, so we think 10 weeks more tutoring should cover all bases for now, and a few weeks towards the end of the school before the final exams should do wonders for his results. Thankyou.....

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coombabah State School.
