Science Tutor Coolangatta, QLD
The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

Science Tutor Burleigh Waters, QLD
The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as a tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something. Additionally,…

Science Tutor Varsity Lakes, QLD
I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to teach them ways of learning and/or studying in which will assist them in school or future purposes. It is also important that tutors a student's strengthen subject comprehension and also help them build more confidence in the subject or learning area. I am hardworking and…

Science Tutor Burleigh Heads, QLD
1. Working with the student to establish student-centred goals. 2. Being reliable and widely available for the student. Being a student can be stressful, therefore being just a phone call away if an assignment deadline is approaching to assist in overcoming hurdles that may arise can be a huge comforter to avoid unnecessary stress. Further to…

Science Tutor Burleigh Waters, QLD
I believe that a tutor must guide the student to learn independently by introducing different methods and techniques to learn. This is because an hour or two of supervised study in a week is not sufficient to learn and excel in a subject. Further, in this modern world with ever expanding technology there are many avenues to study and learn the…

Inside TugunTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Bella focused on completing a creative narrative inspired by a familiar book and reinforced her understanding of sentence structure, homonyms, and onomatopoeia using targeted English worksheets.

In Year 10, Jeremy reviewed Pythagoras' Theorem and practised calculating perimeter, area, and volume of shapes to prepare for upcoming exams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia worked through algebraic manipulation and began exploring scatterplots by interpreting data relationships and identifying variables within real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, skipping written drafts meant Bella's spelling and grammar errors weren't caught—her tutor noted, "To improve would be to test her spelling and grammar by writing her answers down."

During Year 7–8 maths sessions, forgetting materials like paper for calculations delayed progress on area questions.

In Year 11 General Maths, lack of preparation before tutoring made it difficult to tackle complex exam-style problems; as one comment put it, "I tried to prepare for the basics in all the year 12 curriculum that I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions." This left challenging topics feeling out of reach mid-session.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10 maths, Jeremy used to hesitate with trigonometry and algebra but now solves most problems independently, even catching his own errors without prompting.

Willow, a Year 8 student, was once unsure about fractions but now chooses the right method for each question and rarely needs reminders on steps she struggled with before.

Meanwhile, Bella in Year 6 has started asking for extra homework and is rereading her writing to spot grammar mistakes herself—something she avoided previously—finishing her latest paragraph after checking it for errors on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

. Ruby enjoyed the session and is very happy with Vibha, so we're off to a good start.

Chloe has had 2 sessions and is starting to find Maths easier already. She has tests coming up and Rosario is focusing on this. We've found Rosario to be patient when explaining the different processes to Chloe. She is also warm and friendly with her and this is good for Chloe who also has anxiety issues.

Thanks Gene it seems to be progressing well .  Vibha is committed and doing a great job . I'm pleased so 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 Palm Beach Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Currumbin State School.
