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…

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…

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…

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

Michael has made a huge difference already, and we are very happy with his work so far. Mia is listening to him and there is some great mutual respect happening. I love that when mia doesn't know something he ensures to not make her feel silly. It has helped her confidence Immensely.

Justin is very good and Athena although has only had 2 lessons with him, she is already finding him very helpful.

Right from the beginning Steph had a great rapport with Tara. She has been a couple of times now and I've never seen Steph so engaged with maths before.

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.
