Bron
Tutor South Townsville, QLD
The most important thing you can do for a student is usually to inspire them, as this is the number one key to success and personal growth for them in a subject, in my opinion. Allowing students to appreciate beauty and simplicity links the value of the topics to their work in it.
Of course, some students are already very passionate so for them…

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. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For instance…

Anarghya
Tutor Annandale, QLD
I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

Maisie
Tutor Wulguru, QLD
Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding. I've only been out of education for a few months so can easily remember how difficult it…

Lara
Tutor Cranbrook, QLD
As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Shane
Tutor
I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

Inside South TownsvilleTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 11 student Isaac focused on writing and naming ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry, as well as practicing chemical equations.
Year 10 student Sophia revised simplification of index laws and integers by reviewing questions from a recent school test, including calculating order of operations with decimals.
Meanwhile, Year 7 student Eve tackled solving algebraic equations and created her own word problems involving algebra to strengthen understanding.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student missed multiple homework assignments and struggled to apply feedback on sign changes in algebra—"she made a few mistakes with sign changing in her homework but has fixed them now," noted one tutor.
In Year 10 science, another student was unable to locate the latest version of an assessment during their session, slowing progress and limiting feedback.
Meanwhile, a senior English student's paragraphs lacked clear links to their thesis, causing confusion when building arguments for essays.
Each scenario meant more time spent retracing steps or clarifying basics instead of moving forward with new skills.
Recent Achievements
A South Townsville tutor noticed Jacinta, a Year 11 student, brought in feedback from her teacher and rewrote her essay draft to address specific points—something she hadn't attempted independently before.
In a recent session, Eve (Year 10) was able to spot where she'd gone wrong on her maths test after reviewing just two textbook exercises, showing real initiative in self-correction.
Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 8) asked questions whenever unsure during Pythagorean theorem work rather than staying silent—a big change from previous sessions where she hesitated to speak up.
Jacinta also handed in her entire assessment for review this week.
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 Townsville South State School.
