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 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…

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 Douglas, 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
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 IdaliaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and evaluating decimals as part of her recent school test review.

Year 11 student Isaac worked through chemistry topics including ionic and covalent bond interactions, with practice identifying compound types and writing chemical formulas.

For a younger student in Year 7, Adam practised converting decimals to fractions, as well as basic division using real-life examples for context.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, one student repeatedly left homework incomplete ("could not finish her assigned Homework again"), which meant key practice with sign rules and graphing was missed.

A Year 11 science student struggled to locate the latest version of an assessment task, slowing feedback—"he could not locate the most updated version of the assessment which was a vital part of the discussion."

In Year 10 English, paragraphs were disjointed and arguments underdeveloped, as noted: "sentences need to be more cohesive... some did not make sense on first read." This led to confusion during essay planning and draft reviews.

Recent Achievements

One Idalia tutor noticed a big shift in Jacinta, a high school student, who arrived at her English session with most of her essay drafted and had already incorporated feedback from both her teacher and previous lessons—a real change from earlier sessions where she hesitated to start writing.

In Year 10 Maths, Eve showed new independence by correcting her own mistakes on a recent test after reviewing just two textbook exercises together, rather than waiting for step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, Lauren in Year 7 began openly asking questions when stuck during Pythagorean theorem practice, instead of staying quiet; she completed all example problems on her own by the end of the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

Tutoring with Robert is going extremely well. Robert has an excellent way of explaining concepts and Tara and Ethan are already feeling more confident with their maths.

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 Oonoonba State School.
