There are various skills and attitudes that an english tutor should have inorder for the student to enjoy and learn during lesson time. Being able to build rapport was one of the skills that a tutor should have its a way for the student to be comfortable. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For…

English Tutor Annandale, QLD
I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

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 TownsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac focused on chemistry, specifically identifying ionic and covalent bonds and determining chemical formulas for compounds.

Year 10 Sophia worked through simplifying index laws and evaluating order of operations with decimals during test review.

Meanwhile, Year 7 Eve practised solving linear equations with unknowns on both sides, progressing through step-by-step examples to build confidence in this foundational algebra skill.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Years 7–10 did not complete assigned homework, which led to confusion when tackling new algebra and percentage word problems—one tutor noted, "Sophia could not finish her HW. She needs a bit more practice with some questions in this topic in order to solve complex questions easily."

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled to locate the latest version of an assessment during the session, slowing progress on scientific arguments.

For Year 9 English, messy paragraph structure and weak thesis links meant ideas became muddled; sentences sometimes lost meaning by the second read. The result: time was spent clarifying basics instead of advancing into deeper concepts or refining written work.

Recent Achievements

One Townsville tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Jacinta, arrive with her English essay draft already annotated with feedback from both her schoolteacher and previous sessions—she'd clearly acted on the suggestions, revising her work before class for the first time.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 9) surprised her tutor by asking for help only when truly needed during algebra practice; she used to wait passively for guidance but now works through examples independently before checking in.

In primary maths, Sophia made a breakthrough with division—solving all assigned problems without hints or reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Raj has been excellent & Chloe's teachers have really noticed an improvement.  I will recommend Ezy Math to everyone! Thanks for that.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes Ewan is very happy and I can already see his confidence improving.

We are exceptionally pleased with Adhi.  He has done a great job with Jonathon and we hope to get him back next year on a regular basis to help Jonathon in Year 11.

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 St Joseph's Catholic School, The Strand.
