Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive. I feel like growing up most teachers were boring, and could not deliver the concept or usefulness of the things that were being taught. So when I teach I make sure I deliver not only the concepts…

Software Dev Tutor Arundel, QLD
A tutor is not a person who make students to gulp everything on the book. A tutor should know where the focus should be given. Knowing their capacity and weak areas should be the first step a tutor have to step into when a student approach for help. Once the foundation is made strong, it will be easy to build over it. Along with that, a tutor…

Results. It doesn’t matter if the class is funny (I think it’s better if you can do it in this way) if you don’t get results. Just adapt to each student to get the best of him. I'm able to empathize with the student and work together to find a…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy so far with Joseph who has started teaching Thomas. He is keen to work with him and seems to be enjoying their sessions

Pippa is very happy with Dexter. Her tutoring style is very effective and Pippa had excellent results in her mid-year exams.

Sam's first session with Wahidah went really well. He really liked her and responded well to her teaching.

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.
