English Tutor Benowa, QLD
I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work with them…

I think a tutor can teach students some learning methods and think mode through which students can not only know how to solve a simple question but also apply these to the similar questions. First, I am a really patient and mild girl. If students can not understand what I teach, I will be very patient to teach them again and again. Second, I had…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to instil the key executive study skills that are used in the sessions that serve the student well and ensure they apply them all the time. These skills I hope to cement include organisation, focus and time management. I also believe it is important to form a connection with the student and…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student. Not every child is able to cope with his/her studies and routine. Being a student of Psychology, I prefer encouraging and motivating them to do better each day. Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

English Tutor Arundel, QLD
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…

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing.

Truly the most important thing any tutor can do for a student is to help create and cultivate a growth mindset. By doing this, students become lifelong, innovative learners. This certainly occurs in the classroom, but teachers are expected to do this to upwards of 20+ children. Tutors are important to students because they assist in expanding…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help build their confidence. A student is able to do anything, learn anything but only if they believe that they can do it or learn it.

I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject. If the student is able to walk away from a session being able to understand the concept and feel interested and confident with it, they not only will gain better results in exams but will have a better idea of the subject as…

I would consider the most important thing to be giving them the confidence in their own abilities. I think it can be very easily for kids to doubt themselves but having a tutor can give them nourishing support that will help them in the subject and hopefully extend outside of that as well. My flexibility allows the lesson to flow in different…

Inside ParkwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Connor practised converting between units of length, volume, and mass, then reinforced measurement skills with area calculations and perimeter problems.

In Year 8, Seb worked through linear equations by plotting graphs to identify gradients and y-intercepts, as well as rearranging formulas to make x the subject using step-by-step algebraic methods.

For a senior student in Year 11 General Maths, recent sessions focused on applying the binomial theorem and analysing geometric sequences, including revision for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 algebra, one student avoided showing working when rearranging equations, leading to repeated confusion—"minimal writing" meant errors went unnoticed.

In Year 10, a learner skipped assigned textbook questions before an exam and struggled with significant figures; as the tutor noted, "she must do the homework questions I assigned to her before Monday for her exam."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student kept forgetting key formulas in functions and did not record their steps clearly. The result: time was spent retracing old ground instead of moving forward confidently into new concepts or assessments.

Recent Achievements

A Parkwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely heavily on hints now independently solves linear function problems, even plotting graphs and pinpointing gradients without prompting.

In a recent session with a Year 12 group, students who previously mixed up how to calculate tax demonstrated clear understanding by correctly working through complex taxation scenarios on their own.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4—who often hesitated over her times tables—confidently recited the fours and explained why order of operations matters before moving on to trickier BODMAS challenges.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have been meaning to email but time got away. Hazel is loving Rabiba! She's just perfect for her. In fact when we discussed extending the time to two hours in a week or so Hazel agreed instantly. I was in shock. We are all very happy with her so far. She's very reliable and polite.

Carol has been great with Sarah and as you said it takes a few months to start seeing an impact., but Sarah understands her and relates well to Carol.

Nandi is fantastic and Izzy has developed a great relationship with her. She is a treasure.

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 Mobile Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Arundel State School.
