Modern History Tutor Brisbane, QLD
In my opinion, it is important to teach children in simple ways so that they can understand even the complex and difficult concepts. It is also important to understand questions asked by students and give appropriate answers to their questions. Students need to be acknowledged and respected. As a tutor, I am a patient person and a good listener. I…

Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic. I've always been told I'd be an excellent teacher- my habit is to always make sure a tutee has…

Be patient with them. All students are different but also everyone has the capacity to learn. It is up to the tutor to understand their students (how they think, their learning styles etc) and tailor their approach to meet their needs. Prioritizing the student's understanding as well I know how to work with different types of people from different…

I believe that if a tutor is kind, patient and shows respect, they will see greater results with their students. In order for effective learning, it is paramount to create a distraction-free, positive environment, and prepare well-thought out lessons ahead of time. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, I think that if a tutor is ready to motivate,…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student motivation to learn and ultimately excel academically.

I think the best thing a tutor can do for their students is show that they are interested in them as individuals. I think tutors should find out what their students are interested in and use this as a tool in teaching. Being able to make a connection like this makes the experience more enjoyable and educational for both student and tutor. I think…

To make sure they understand a concept fully, and why it makes sense, especially in maths and science.

I believe patience, resilience, and the ability to think fast to generate alternate ways to regain the student's focus, particularly if they are on the younger side. Aside from paying attention to the student's attention span, more importantly, a tutor should be prepared on going about different routes to ensure understanding of course content and…

I believe that a tutor plays an incredible different role to the classroom teacher. Being a role that has one-on-one interaction with a student, a tutor's most important thing is to focus their practice and method to the individual characteristics of the student. An example of this could be having activities with high intensity and movement for…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to think and learn. This is far more valuable for future work and study than any one topic to be learnt. My principle strength as a tutor would be my understanding of how mathematical concepts work, which helps me to explain them. I do this often with my colleagues during…

The tutoring is going well. Liana is settling in well and she finds Jacques explains things in a way she can understand.

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.
