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 think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the ability of effective self management in their studies. The best thing a tutor can do is to teach them learning strategies and develop a student’s self awareness in their learning, so that the students are more independent and are able to develop their own learning…

English Tutor Nerang, QLD
One of the most important things a tutor can do for the student is to be flexible in their teaching methods and approaches to learning/teaching content as there are so many different learning styles out there and they are there with us because they may be having trouble with the teaching methods used at school. In those cases in particular, it's…

Inside Runaway BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sophie worked on converting between time units and understanding time zones, using real-life examples for practice.

In Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics and revising area and perimeter problems to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Suneha tackled advanced trigonometric formulas including the reduction formula, as well as laws of logarithms and applying them to solve equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left both their homework booklet and spelling exercise book at school, which made it difficult to follow up on assigned practice and slowed progress in consolidating new skills.

In Year 10 maths, as a tutor observed, "he hasn't done the homework I gave on the 10th," meaning essential practice for surface area and volume was missed before upcoming assessments.

For a senior Biology assignment, feedback suggested the student struggled to organise draft notes effectively and address teacher comments—this led to confusion when refining the evaluation section.

Each of these moments limited deeper understanding or timely improvement.

Recent Achievements

One Runaway Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after struggling to communicate her thinking, now talks herself through algebra and logarithm problems out loud—catching errors and asking for clarification when needed.

A Year 8 maths student, previously hesitant to tackle algebra on her own, completed all of her assigned homework independently this week and even started asking questions about trickier concepts instead of waiting for help.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 boy who used to avoid timed activities asked to be timed during a compound words task and finished it in under 16 seconds.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Biggera Waters State School.
