John Kurt Renniel

English Tutor Arundel, QLD
It is most important to make the student enjoy the lesson in a way that they would not think of it as obligatory but rather make the students truly want to learn. Also, a tutor should acknowledge the students hard work and struggles, not only their high results. I am very patient since all children have different speeds when it comes to learning.…

The first thing that a tutor needs to do is identify what the underlying problem is. It may be that the student has very weak number facts, has a negative attitude to the subject or requires a lot of visuals to grasp a particular concept. Once the tutor has identified the particular problems, they then need to tailor a specific individual program…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their problem solving skills. Regardless of subject, the ability to assess a problem, devise a strategy, execute said strategy and re-assess it if need be is a major life skill that will help a student in their academic career and beyond. I think that I am very good at meeting the…

One of the key aspects of teaching is adapting a student-centred approach. Every student is different - learning with different styles and at different paces. This makes is highly valuable for a tutor to be considerate and take into account the students' needs. A tutor must be willing to answer any questions the student has and consistently assess…

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

I think the best tutors teach at a speed that the student requires. If a tutor is impatient, not only does it reduce what the student learns but also discourages them from asking for help. Tutors need to accommodate each specific student, as each one is different. I have been studying for a Bachelor of Law/Arts for the past four years. This study…

Aside from teaching the content in an understandable and logical manner, I also think that a tutor should try to inspire a student to become a self-directed and motivated learner. Such a transformation creates the best performing students because they no longer overly rely on the tutelage of others. Rather, they learn to handle a variety of…

Inside OxenfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jack focused on solving equations for lines, finding gradients, and determining x- and y-intercepts using worked examples.

For Year 10, Olivia practised rearranging different forms of linear equations and revisited how to find specific x and y values from given graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Sam developed skills in working with integers and plotting points accurately on an axis through targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, messy written layout when rearranging equations or plotting graphs often made it hard to spot calculation errors—one note said, "layout when working out" was a clear obstacle.

A Year 11 student struggled with planning responses for assessments, leaving answers underdeveloped and missing marks: "need to start writing for assessment."

For Year 9, skipping over worded questions in revision meant weaker problem-solving confidence during practice tests.

In the moment, untidy work and avoiding tougher question types led to more time spent correcting mistakes than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Oxenford tutor noticed a high school student who previously made small mistakes when solving equations is now catching those errors and finishing all calculations independently.

Another win: a Year 9 student, who used to sit quietly even when confused, started telling the tutor exactly when she didn't understand something—making it much easier to address tricky concepts right away.

In primary, one younger student who was often passive at the start of lessons recently came in organised and ready to ask questions she'd prepared herself before the session began.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Arman was fabulous, very thorough and explained maths to my daughter in a manner which she was able to grasp easily.

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.

Our tutor is wonderful and has been extremely helpful and accommodating with scheduling.

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 Nerang Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oxenford State School.
