There are various skills and attitudes that an english 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…

I believe that an english 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…

English Tutor Kirwan, QLD
One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach content but to be there as a mentor. Exam periods, life and post-school options can all be stressful for students and it is vital that a tutor can mentor students throughout this through stress mechanisms. This, coupled with effective teaching methods and provision…

English 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…

English 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…

Tahlia and Jonah are getting along very well so far and Tahlia appears to be taking on board the information that Jonah is giving her. Tahlia is enjoying her tutoring sessions and it doesn't feel like an hour to her.

Inside OonoonbaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student worked on quadratic equations, tackling more challenging problems and using practice questions for mastery.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Isaac focused on ionic and covalent bonds, identifying interaction types and writing chemical formulas.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student revised binomial theorem topics including Pascal's triangle and binomial expansion through textbook exercises in preparation for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Years 7–12 have shown a pattern of not completing assigned homework, with missed tasks impacting their ability to consolidate skills—one tutor noted, "Sophia could not finish her assigned Homework again," after repeated reminders.

In Year 10 science, forgetting to bring the correct assessment version meant critical feedback was delayed and "he could not locate the most updated version of the assessment which was a vital part of the discussion."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 maths student struggled to explain reasoning behind answers; when asked why cos 55° > cos 65°, she hesitated rather than justifying her steps. This led to lost opportunities for deeper understanding during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Oonoonba tutor recently saw a big change in Jacinta, a high school student who used to wait for feedback before making edits—she arrived this week with her essay already revised independently based on both her teacher's and tutor's comments.

Another secondary student, Eve, who often second-guessed her approach to new maths topics, has started tackling index laws questions independently and solved most problems during the session.

For a younger learner, Sophia showed a clear shift from relying on prompts for division work to confidently completing all assigned problems by herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have only had one lesson with Johnson so far, he seems very good and my daughter seems to like him a lot so all is good.

We have enjoyed having Addison in our home, I know Timothy has benefited  and we would like to say thanks.

Since my daughter has been tutored by Ezy Math, she has improved significantly. At the end of last year she failed the yearly test and was ranked near the bottom of her year. Now after just 3 months of tutoring , she has achieved the highest mark in her class in the  half yearly exam. This has been a great boast to her confidence in addition to a great academic achievement. She knows now that she has the ability to do well in maths. Jessica is always very well prepared for all the sessions. During this time we went away on holidays and missed 3 weeks of school. Prior to leaving Jessica covered all the topics the school was doing to ensure that she did not get behind. We are extremely happy with Ezy Math Tutoring and  highly recommend them.

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 Flinders Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oonoonba State School.
