I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set. By giving students the tools to succeed but letting them work through the problems first, it allows them to put forward any errors or miscommunications, which can then be…

I believe listening is very important since if you don't listen to your student, or get them to explain concepts for themselves, you won't be able to deduce which areas to focus on. One of my weaknesses as a tutor would have to be that if my student is having difficulty,…

Inside WooloowinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jess reviewed taxation maths missed during class and revisited surd and indices, focusing on rule recall and application.

In Year 10, Jackson practised projectile motion calculations in physics and worked through a practice test covering electromagnetism, interpolation, and extrapolation.

For Year 11, Olivia tackled monic and non-monic quadratic factorisation and solving equations, using targeted problem sets to consolidate her understanding of different methods.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly left homework unfinished, explaining, "could not find book"—this meant vital practice with equations and algebra was missed.

In Year 8, messy working made it difficult to spot calculation errors when factorising quadratics; as a tutor noted, "legibility and setting out of working" limited progress on harder problems.

A senior chemistry student showed over-reliance on notes instead of recalling formulae during molar concentration tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 7, confidence dips after setbacks led to hesitancy in tackling worded ratio questions—long pauses before starting each part, even when the steps were familiar.

Recent Achievements

One Wooloowin tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously rushed through homework now taking time to check each step, catching her own mistakes on practice tests instead of waiting for help.

In Year 10, a student who used to avoid class participation began asking for tougher questions after finally mastering simultaneous equations by substitution—something he'd struggled with all term.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who once hesitated to start assignments is now gathering evidence and setting out answers independently; last session she finished her worksheet without any prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

Thank you for your report on Hollys progress so far while it is early days I am sure she will do well with Abbys help. She likes Abby and gets on well with her.

We have had Reagan before for our other daughter. He is really great and we have been really happy with him. He has been fantastic!

We are very pleased with James tutor and wish to continue with both maths and English

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wooloowin State School.
