Believing in the student and knowing them well is extremely valuable. If you are aware of a students particular learning style and their struggles and strengths then it will become easier to cater for their needs and to adjust instructional strategies to make learning more accessible. It is also important for tutors to know the content and be…

Tutor Gaythorne, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is inspire and motivate. While these seem like simple elements, in successfully doing so, the tutor has essentially altered the learning experiences for the student from that moment onwards. The student is then able to develop their confidence in their subjects, push to achieve their goals,…

The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the ability to be confident in their own knowledge to attack any problem head on. I will never solve a problem for them, however I will always support them and give them the necessary tools to be able to do it on their own. Having been part of the first year of ATAR and achieving a…

Easily explain the topic and at the same time understand if this is complicated for them. Let them understand that the topic is important. For example, we apply mathematics everywhere and unconsciously we solve equations. Encourage them every moment. I am very patient and I can notice when my student does not understand. I try to find another way…

The most important action that a teacher can do is to step into student's shoe while approaching a problem and try to find solutions with limited information and skills that the student's have. If needed (if it is a complete necessary), add few more concepts to strengthen their step towards a problem Approach solutions for a problem in different…

I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is teach them to think independently and creatively. A student needs to learn to be able to view things from different perspectives and formulate their own opinions and solutions. I am patient, good at working with children with diverse needs, and I am a creative thinker who can explain…

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…

Friendliness. If the child has fears they are not smart enough, it can lead to further diseouragement. By being a friendly face they will want to see you making the overall process feel more rewarding.

Being a second person the student can ask for help on things related to the subject, other than their school teacher. After spending time in high school, I have realised that some teachers may not be able to fully explain different maths concepts or teach it in a very overly complicated way, causing many people to become confused. So being able to…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling.

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.

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.
