For it's most important for a tutor or mentor to encourage asking. You won't know anything unless you ask for it. More importantly, this builds a person's confidence, which is especially helpful in succeeding. My strengths as a tutor are patience and perseverance. I do not stop until the end goal is achieved. I persist as necessary to succeed, not…

I believe from my experience that a tutor should create a vibe for the student while teaching so that the student feel comfortable and will feel free to ask any doubts without hesitation, Once the student gets a clear idea about any subject they will start enjoying studies. I have seen many people hate some specific subjects just because the tutor…

A tutor should understand the need of a student. A tutor should make a effort to reach the student and understand what the need. If a student is falling behind we as tutors need to understand the reason behind that. A tutor should also teach students to be independent and make sure they are able acquire the knowledge even in our absence. I can…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is teach a student how to teach themselves and be self sufficient. Once the student knows how to learn, they can take on tougher and tougher concepts and still succeed. I believe my greatest strength is my perspective that my time as a uni student has given me. When tutoring I believe my experience…

A good tutor will be able to make a connection with their student, and can understand their individual needs as a learner. I think that if a tutor isn't able to do this, then any knowledge they possess can't be effectively taught. I think a good tutor should also have a strong grasp over whatever they teach, and being able to teach is the biggest…

It is also important to understand questions asked by students and give appropriate answers to their questions. Students need to be acknowledged and respected.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to try make difficult content more engaging and easier to grapple with. As I mentioned before, students having difficulty with a topic will be less engaged and less willing to put in the work. That's why it's the tutor's responsibility to try make the content more appealing or reframe it in…

The best thing I can do is to generate interest of the student in that particular subject. That way, the student can get his own way at that subject later on.

I think understanding is the most important skill for a tutor to possess. Explaining a topic is one thing, but doing so at a level that is useful for the student is another thing entirely. As a tutor, you need to be able to understand what it is that a student already understands, what it is they are struggling with, and why they are struggling.…

Local Reviews

I'm very happy with James.
Dan, Toowong

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

Daniel as a tutor is a very good fit (perfect) for Sid! We are quite happy with the way things are progressing so far & happy to continue.

Just wanted to let you know that my daughter just finished her first tutoring session with Derek and he was fantastic! Thank you so much for connecting us with him, things are looking up already.

Jessica has been great, she has helped Ben quite a bit already and identified problems and strengths.  She is punctual and diligent.

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.
