English Tutor Samford Valley, QLD
I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that an english tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school.…

English Tutor Eatons Hill, QLD
The most important thing I can do for a student is give them the ability to be confident in their own knowledge to attack any problem head on. I will never solve a problem for them, however I will always support them and give them the necessary tools to be able to do it on their own. Having been part of the first year of ATAR and achieving a…

The most important thing an english tutor can provide to their student is trust, compassion, consideration and most importantly, the ability to pass knowledge onto their student fluently, calmly and in a way which is fun and interesting. My strengths as a tutor are my personal experience as a student and various learning styles that come with…

I believe as an english tutor, taking the time to truly understand my students, including their motivations, life story, personality, goals, dreams, and setbacks, is the most critical and important thing I can do. Having traits of consistency, professionalism, adaptability, empathy and understanding of students will best allow me to encourage and…

English Tutor Ferny Grove, QLD
I think the most important think an english tutor can do for a student is teach them to think independently and creatively. A student needs to learn to be able to view things from different perspectives and formulate their own opinions and solutions. I am patient, good at working with children with diverse needs, and I am a creative thinker who…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is not just to teach them content - its essential to help a student become more self-sufficient in the field they are studying, and to teach them how to learn more effectively. For example, when teaching a child mathematics, I view simply teaching the content as not enough, as…

I think some of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and find ways of teaching that will be most effective for that particular person. It's so important to encourage the students throughout the whole process. To be patient, understanding and kind and to incorporate elements of fun into the whole…

English Tutor Cedar Creek, QLD
Tutoring one-on-one as opposed to teaching to a group allows a much more tailored approach to an indivudal student. Not everyone learns in the same way, so finding the perfect way for an individual student to understand a topic is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. I'm told by my ex-students that I am very patient and willing…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them with their current specific problems in a way that develops their ability to solve future problems independently. Not only does this help students with their current workload and grades, but it does so in a way that also develops their ability to learn and get good…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give them confidence. When a student has confidence they are willing to try and take risks and this is when learning can take place. I have a confident but relaxed manner which helps me build a strong rapport with students quickly. During my time at Ashlyns School, I built good…

Always be a support system academically for their student and listen to their concerns and questions. It is also important to be adjustable and able to adapt to any changes of learning styles for a student. However, the most important thing for a tutor to do is to always believe in them and their ability. I am very patient and good at problem…

As a tutor you can help kids feel more confident in school. I have many friends who struggled in school and weren’t ever given the opportunity to work with a tutor to improve. I think tutors are important as students can get the help they need in a comfortable way. I am very patient and good at helping kids feel comfortable around…

Local Reviews

Staff at EzyMath Tutoring are helpful and knowledgeable. It was so easy to set up a tutor for my daughter. The process was seamless. The tutor made contact with me straight away to arrange a suitable time and the tutoring itself is going well.

Inside Samford ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Grace focused on rearranging and solving linear equations as well as expanding brackets with practical examples.

In Year 9, Ethan worked through Pythagoras' Theorem and trigonometry using diagrams to support problem-solving.

For Year 10, Mia tackled calculating surface area of 3D shapes and applied these skills to real-world assignment tasks involving volume and capacity.

Recent Challenges

She hesitated when separating complex shapes, even after identifying the right method. This second-guessing slowed progress for the Year 7 student working on area and surface area.

In Year 10 algebra, steps for rearranging equations were sometimes skipped or incomplete, leading to confusion when checking answers later.

For a senior student tackling compound interest in Maths Methods, over-reliance on calculator shortcuts meant some compounding period errors went unnoticed until review.

A Year 3 learner found it challenging to consistently carry remainders in division—missing marks on mental maths checks each time this happened.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Samford Valley noticed some genuine breakthroughs across different year levels recently. One Year 10 student, who used to skip steps when working with the null factor law, is now expanding brackets independently and checking their answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student has moved from confusion about unit conversions to correctly applying conversion factors on their own for rates and ratios during lessons.

On the primary side, a Year 4 student—who previously guessed at time questions—now reads both "minutes past" and standard formats accurately and even explained their method out loud before solving new examples.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Just thought I would let you know Eden received the highest mark in her math class for the year common test.  The teacher was very impressed and I had one very happy daughter.

We are very happy with Matt , he is a good personality match for James and he is finding the sessions most valuable.

Thanks for the follow up. We could not be happier with Avi.  Alex really likes and respects her. She is already helping to build his confidence and having him see that he actually doing very well. We would like to continue with her for sure.

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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Samford Valley Steiner School.
