Modern History Tutor Mcdowall, QLD
I consider encouragement and patience as the most important things a tutor can do for a student. As school can be stressful, being supportive and persistent toward the student is beneficial and can make them more receptive to wanting to learn. Having patience is also very important for tutors as some students may not understand a concept and the…

Modern History Tutor Mitchelton, QLD
As a tutor, I believe that it is important to be patient with students and allow them to grasp the concept on their own, albeit with a firm guiding hand, as I find that this allows the pupil to adopt a more proactive and self-sufficient mindset. My experience with this method often found a great deal of pride and accomplishment within both the…

Help them not only understand the individual questions they need to do to pass the exam - but understand the reason behind what they are doing and why it’s important to understand. I find they are more excited to learn if they understand the reason why they are doing the work. I think that I am good at correction and finding different ways to…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject. Mathematics is a tough subject and it is important tutors take the right approach when they teach that subject. I am a huge believer in teachers being friends with their students. My biggest strength is that I get along with students and try and…

The tutor is there to guide and help the student but the best thing a tutor can do is to create way for the student to come to the answers themselves as well.

Plan ahead and work with the students to set small goals they can work towards a bigger goal at the end of the semester, so the process of learning is broken down into easier components.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them grow not only as a student, but as a person. In my previous experience, I have found that oftentimes a student who achieves average academic results often does so due to fears of failure, or perhaps disinterest in the subject. I believe that the tutor can be paramount…

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just to teach them content - its essential to help a student become more self-sufficient in the field they are studying, and to teach them how to learn more effectively. For example, when teaching a child mathematics, I view simply teaching the content as not enough, as if you…

Local Reviews

Verity improved a great deal with her maths last year. Her results from school where excellent and have thanked Peter very much. He did such an awesome job in tutoring her.
Maree, McDowall

Inside McDowallTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Molly revised perimeter and area for various shapes using practice questions, while Year 8 Lerato focused on identifying PEEL paragraph elements in her English essay and also asked about calculating simple percentages.

In Year 10, Hayden worked through feedback on his analytical essay draft, specifically developing arguments and refining grammar.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in McDowall showed hesitation with independent problem-solving, particularly when she struggled to approach complex index law questions without prompts. This reliance on step-by-step guidance led to unfinished homework and missed opportunities for feedback before assessments.

In Year 8 English, one student's draft essays were often completed just before deadlines—meaning there was little time left for editing or refining arguments.

Another senior chemistry student frequently paraphrased resources incorrectly in assignments, risking unintentional plagiarism.

In a Year 6 maths session, getting frustrated after small mistakes meant focus was lost mid-task and required extra encouragement to return to the work at hand.

Recent Achievements

One Mcdowall tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to avoid asking for help now talks through each step of complex trigonometry problems aloud, catching more mistakes before they happen.

Another high schooler recently finished her chemistry report independently, having previously struggled to organise her research; she came to the session with specific questions written out and only needed minor guidance.

Meanwhile, a primary student who found rotations overwhelming last term was able to recall and apply the correct sequence for rotating shapes on her own after practicing breaking down the process into smaller steps.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Madison is really enjoying having Anna as her tutor. They seem to have a good relationship which is fantastic.

I am very happy with how things are going and Zach is lovely so thank you for finding us a great match for Kane

After the first session I gave Matt some feedback about Mia (via Text). Matt was open to my feedback about Mia's learning style, and I feel he listened and implemented during the second session. Mia walked away feeling more confident/ comfortable after the second session.

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 Everton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like McDowall State School.
