Modern History Tutor Taringa, QLD
The most important thing I can do as a tutor is to encourage the student to do their best and achieve their goals. If their goal is to get straight A's then I will ensure that I do all I can to help them get there. If their goal is to pass or to improve their grades, it is important that I help them do that. I do not want to give them the answers,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only instruct, but listen. Tutoring is a beneficial one on one experience, therefore tutoring has opportunities to become specialised for the students benefit. This can be achieved with asking questions such as “How is this content relevant to the student?†or “Does the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them grow not only as a student, but as a person. In my previous experience, I have found that oftentimes a student who achieves average academic results often does so due to fears of failure, or perhaps disinterest in the subject. I believe that the tutor can be paramount…

Adjusting their teaching style to suit the way that student learns. Sometimes, explaining the content for a long time will work, but most of the time it doesn't.

I believe it is integral to grasp the individual students learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. As a part of this, it's also important to learn what doesn't work for them, and avoid these techniques. For example, an English teacher might teach them poetic terms by getting the student to write out definitions. If a students doesn't…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to accompany and motivate them while facilitating their learning. However, it's ultimately the student who holds the power to improve. I believe tutoring is a form of coaching, and I also think that, at times, the student has much to teach the tutor. It's a collaborative…

Emma, Stafford

Inside StaffordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia worked on solving worded linear equations and practiced volume problems using diagrams to visualise each step.

Year 11 student Oliver tackled biology research skills by developing a rationale for his assignment and searching for relevant scientific articles, then refined his research question with guidance.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace focused on her biology student experiment report, drafting the evaluation section and working through feedback to improve her data analysis write-up.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student tackling algebra tended to skip writing out steps, especially when solving quadratics—"did not write down as much working out"—which made small errors hard to catch and fix.

In a senior History lesson, difficulty summarizing research articles slowed progress; as noted, "finding relevant research articles in regards to the task" was a challenge during assignment preparation.

For a Year 8 Maths session, one learner rushed graph plotting and missed simple sign mistakes.

When Year 11 revision focused only on familiar topics, key concepts from previous terms were overlooked, leaving knowledge gaps ahead of exams.

Recent Achievements

A Stafford tutor noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask for help with worded maths questions, now reads questions aloud and talks through solutions, making far fewer errors.

In a recent high school science session, a student who struggled with planning practical experiments came in with a clear experiment outline and asked clarifying questions independently.

For a younger primary student, there's been real progress: after weeks of confusion around plotting points on graphs, she can now accurately plot data without prompts and quickly checks her own work for mistakes.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We really cannot speak highly enough of Conaire. He is communicative, polite, always on time, and most importantly, highly competent with maths. From their first meeting, Tim has enjoyed and benefited greatly from his tutoring and encouragement. On a scale of 1 to 10, Conaire rates a 10+ (with no exaggeration at all).

Will has been the best match for my son Patrick to date. He really enjoys working with Will.

Very happy - Su is a very good tutor and we're very happy with the tutoring thus far.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Queen of Apostles Primary School.
