Biology 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…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago about a tutor for my son Gabriele. You organised for Monica to come to the house and she is beyond a perfect fit. Gabriele was thrilled about the lesson, even though he was nervous at first, and can't wait until his next session, so thank you!

We are very happy with the tutor sessions to date. Kellie and Luke are working well together and we believe this has already been reflected in Luke's recent exams.

Thanks Josh has already increased test results from barely passing to 88%. Exams in the next week will be another challenge. Looking forward to seeing Harry tonight. Thanks regards Sharon.

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.
