English Tutor Tivoli, QLD
I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for an english tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to set up reachable and positive expectations for individual students. No two students learn the same, so it is important to cater for the individuals learning needs whether they need concrete materials, whiteboards, etc. As I am still relatively young, and work in a low…

I believe it is important for an english tutor to pass on good studying tips which will not only aid the student while they work with the tutor but for future endeavours in their education. I believe I am a very calm and welcoming person which would allow for students to feel relaxed around me. I also am capable of explaining a concept in a…

The most important thing an english tutor can do isn't just to lead them to the right answers but help them build confidence and self-motivation. As a tutor, I aim to help students develop independence. For me, a successful teacher is someone who can guide students to no longer needing one. I am quick to identify the strengths and weaknesses of…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to remember their position when they were at their student's age, the difficulties they faced while learning and sharing their experiences with passion to their students so they do not have to face such difficulties while learning.

The most important thing is approaching the task not simply as a series of questions to be answered, but instead as a dive into the nature of what is being learned and its applications to the world, which fosters a much greater depth of understanding and encourages curiosity above all else. I do not have a standard technique for learning that…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to teach them to figure out the answers on their own rather than showing them the answers. As the quote goes " Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime." My strengths as a tutor would be the ability to break…

As above, affirming their limitations JUST AS MUCH as their strengths - affirm, affirm, affirm! I believe the most fundamental truth is found in admitting and celebrating weakness.

I think the single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop an intrinsic passion for the content they study, and to assist them in finding methods of learning that make it easier for them to learn.

I think that behind each grade/score is the amount of work put into studying, which in turn is mostly driven by a person’s self-esteem. I believe that the more a person is accepting of the way they personally think and learn, the more comfortable they are to actually put in the work to achieve their highest potential. Therefore the most…

Inside TivoliTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Sophie focused on mastering the two- and three-times tables and practiced adding three two-digit numbers, with an emphasis on how multiplication connects to repeated addition.

Year 9 student Cale worked through polynomial expressions, binomial expressions, positive indices, and index laws in maths, and also revised essay structure including bibliography and in-text citations for English assignments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lucas strengthened his understanding of factorising algebraic expressions and completed revision on report writing techniques for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student's math assignment was lost due to computer saving issues, directly impacting his grade; as one tutor noted, "he'll need a better system for saving documents."

In Year 11 Maths, inconsistent recall of mean, median, and mode—especially when problems were worded differently—meant extra time spent relearning basics instead of progressing.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student repeatedly relied on hands and counting aids for simple multiplication but grew frustrated and lost focus during longer tasks.

During division work in Year 4, hesitation to write working led to mixed-up remainders and misplaced answers.

Confidence often dipped after setbacks or mistakes.

Recent Achievements

One Tivoli tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after typically waiting for help, has started seeking clarification independently as soon as he feels stuck—he even initiated research for an assessment before the lesson.

In Year 8 maths, another student surprised their tutor by confidently explaining mean, median, and mode without prompting, having previously needed reminders on basic terminology.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, Isla went from struggling to stay on topic in her English writing to independently crafting focused paragraphs; last session she self-corrected her work with minimal guidance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie has been good so far, Barnaby seems happy with her teaching method. She is a very nice, pleasant young lady, who seems to know all about maths and the curriculum.

Yes we are very happy with Nuradha.   He is extremely friendly, very reliable and my son has connected with him well. I will definitely keep you informed of our progress.

I would love to offer some feedback on Derek. I discussed this response with Jaidan last night and he requested that I let you know that he thinks Derek is AWESOME. From my observations,Derek quickly created a great rapport with Jaidan which is important for effective communication. I have queried Jaidan after each session and feel that he is benefitting greatly from Derek's input. He is feeling more confident and very comfortable to source support from Derek. I could not ask for more at this stage so thank you and more importantly please thank Derek on my behalf.

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 Ipswich Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tivoli State School.
