Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school. University students face the same problem, so we know that not all days are great days. So as a tutor, you need to be supportive of your student where necessary, so that when…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Rather than teaching a student, the tutor inspires the student.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt.

it Is really important to sit down with the mentee and work out what they want and what you can give.

Since students most commonly get tutoring as they do not understand the approach taken by their teacher to the subject, I believe the most important thing is to relate to the student, and see the problem from their perspective. This leads to the ability to create personalised approaches to the theories presented in class, and allow the student to…

According to me, the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is wake up their curiosity.

As this helps make the student pursue the subjects further. These are the future of the humanity,…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make an honest effort to listen to the student as they relate their experience to their studies.

Local Reviews

I'm very happy with James.

Inside ToowongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sila worked through dividing decimals by whole numbers and tackled decimal division worded problems, using real-life scenarios to strengthen understanding.

For Year 10, Lachlan focused on sketching linear graphs from coordinates and identifying gradients of parallel and perpendicular lines.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student revised critical path analysis in networks and practised applying the Hungarian algorithm for assignment problems with step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student, confident in their algebra knowledge, was hesitant to show working when tackling exam-style questions—she works sometimes too quickly and does not show all her working, as a tutor noted. This led to repeated sign errors, particularly with negatives.

In Year 12, another student struggled with calculator use during test conditions and didn't bring class notes or homework for review; this slowed problem-solving and left key mistakes unaddressed.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner frequently mixed up place value when multiplying decimals, needing columns and colour-coding to keep work legible. Each instance resulted in time spent retracing steps rather than building new understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Toowong tutor noted that a Year 8 student who previously guessed answers is now asking for clarification whenever he's unsure and reworking steps instead of moving on with mistakes.

In a recent high school session, another student started self-correcting errors during practice questions, something she'd avoided before, and even took the initiative to plan her own revision schedule ahead of an upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling assignment prep demonstrated real progress by choosing his topic independently and adding relevant content without prompting—he hadn't shown this much ownership in earlier sessions.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cassidy has had one session with Scott. Cassidy came home very positive, saying that Scott was great at explaining concepts and that he will benefit from his tutoring support. Cassidy related well with Scott and seemed very impressed by his level of knowledge and by his academic progress at university. In effect, Scott is a great role model for Cassidy. I hope this all continues well.

Thanks for your email, Mitchell is really excited to have Ken as his tutor, he made a great impression when he came along for a chat and that high expectation has continued. He has a natural way with him and engages well with Mitchell, unlocking the mysteries and some tricks to understanding Math. We also like that Ken is a skilled tutor in many subjects so are looking forward to a long term relationship with him as a mentor for Mitchell. Someone that has worked hard to achieve success which is what we all want for our children. Thanks again I feel this match will be a good one.

Yes we are very happy with Jacinta. She is lovely and Emily likes her. She seems to be very suited to Emily, as she has a very practical approach to helping Emily with her Math's, and understood straight away what Emily's basic needs were. We look forward to Jacinta tutoring Emily this year.

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 Toowong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Omni Academies of Learning.
