English Tutor Townsville, QLD
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.

Inside PallarendaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and working with integers, as well as evaluating decimals from recent school tests.

Year 10 student Eve practiced solving trigonometry questions and tackled similarity and congruence problems drawn from a previous exam, with targeted feedback on correcting errors in complex situations.

For primary support, Year 5 student Ayaan worked through converting decimals to fractions (and vice versa) alongside building confidence in basic division skills.

Recent Challenges

Several process challenges emerged across year levels.

In Year 8 Maths, incomplete homework was a recurring issue—one lesson note recorded, "Sophia did not do her homework given on last session," which led to missed opportunities for feedback and extra practice with BODMAS and percentages.

In Year 10 Science, lack of organization slowed progress: one student arrived without their online textbook open, so time was lost finding resources instead of tackling gas law problems.

A senior English student's struggle with structuring body paragraphs around a thesis ("needs improvement in speech writing and thesis statement formation") meant ideas remained disconnected during essay planning.

Recent Achievements

One Pallarenda tutor noticed Jacinta, a Year 12 student, come to her English session with detailed feedback from her schoolteacher and a new draft that showed real improvements since the last lesson—she'd clearly worked through earlier advice on her own.

In another high school maths session, Eve moved from getting stuck on complex binomial theorem problems to accurately expanding equations by herself after breaking down the steps together.

Meanwhile, Lauren in Year 8 began asking questions whenever she was unsure about Pythagorean theorem problems instead of staying quiet, and finished all the textbook examples without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

So far so good. The kids are actually enjoying their time with Agnes so that's s good sign. Jaren came out of last weeks tutorial session saying "well you learn something new everyday". It just gives them more confidence with mathematical concepts, I think they're getting something out of it. Thank you.

Sofia was progressing and Sofia was very comfortable with the tutor. She gave Sofia a lot of help and her understanding of maths had improved and she learned to enjoyed maths, even the homework set and that surprised me. Thank you again.

Chelsea loves Melanie as her tutor. She is a great tutor, smart, very friendly, and very patient. She has all the quality as a tutor and we did like the way she taught Chelsea. Thank you so much for giving Chelsea the best tutor, we are happy with everything.

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 Belgian Gardens State School.
