Modern History Tutor St Lucia, QLD
The most important thing that a tutor can provide for a student is support and motivation. When a student is struggling, they have low self-efficacy and motivation to engage with the subject. What is important is to use this knowledge to provide tutoring in a way that is relaxed and engaging. In addition the tutor should always value and strive to…

Modern History Tutor St Lucia, QLD
A tutor is a mentor and a friend to a student as they are coming to them when they are struggling and trusting them to build up their skills and their grades so that they can achieve their desired grade. The most important thing is trust between the tutor and student, meaning that the tutor will do right by the student. I used to struggled when I…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel as if they have tried their absolute hardest and have done their best. A student should feel confident and empowered going into their next exam or assessment as they have acquired a new understanding of the subject. I think I have the patience to take my time with students and…

Modern History Tutor Grange, QLD
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them grow not only as a student, but as a person. In my previous experience, I have found that oftentimes a student who achieves average academic results often does so due to fears of failure, or perhaps disinterest in the subject. I believe that the tutor can be paramount…

I believe it is integral to grasp the individual students learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. As a part of this, it's also important to learn what doesn't work for them, and avoid these techniques. For example, an English teacher might teach them poetic terms by getting the student to write out definitions. If a students doesn't…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to accompany and motivate them while facilitating their learning. However, it's ultimately the student who holds the power to improve. I believe tutoring is a form of coaching, and I also think that, at times, the student has much to teach the tutor. It's a collaborative…

I truely believe that the most important thing as a tutor is being there for your students. You not only have to give your best to help them you should also be a person of trust for them.

The tutor is there to guide and help the student but the best thing a tutor can do is to create way for the student to come to the answers themselves as well. A tutor can help children think better thoughts and give them strategies but it is also up to the student to work hard to improve. A tutor is there for encouragement and support as well…

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

quote

We are very happy with the way James is tutoring Julian. Julian is responding well and is comfortable around him being of similar age and James hasn't long completed his HSC. James is passionate about tutoring and is going out of his way to bring out the best in him and to reach his full potential.

We are very happy with how things are going. Luke is a great tutor. He explains things in a way Hannah can understand and if she doesnt he is very patient and tries it another way till she does. Thank you

Zoe is great, Dylan really likes her and feels comfortable around her which is great. as you said, we wont be seeing actual result right away but I think its going to work :)

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.
