Most students want to get through the next exam, but I also consider it important that knowledge and skills are reinforced and retained for years, if not for life. Because I've studied chemistry, I have a broad grasp of sciences from biology to physics and maths, and can help students link related concepts in a reinforcing manner. I've also worked…

A tutor must be patient as well as motivating for their students. They must be organised and have a well structured plan to support their students while still being open to their ideas and opinions. The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

My teaching style is a self-made one which is partially inspired by my mom and my grandmother who were also teachers. * I try to simplify things as much as possible. In fact, i believe, the most difficult thing to do is to simplify something. * I always try to include real-life examples while explaining concepts which helps the students to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic. If you know the student well enough, that student will begin to enjoy studying and being able to perform great academically. I believe that is the greatest…

Not just be a teacher; to be there for the student as a friend. With that, accelerated learning will be a biproduct, when the environment is uplifting and comfortable. This will make learning more enjoyable and efficient. Ability to communicate very effectively with others, to be a friend to those that I am tutoring. I consider myself patient,…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can give to his/her student is confidence. The confidence to know that whatever the problem is. There is no point trying to avoid it when if you work hard enough and practice enough with the right help, you will be able to solve problems on your own. Eventually the student does not need the tutor as a crutch if the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to make the student take an active role in their learning. Rather than simply dictate the steps to take, a tutor needs to ensure the student participates in each aspect of their learning, whether it be through examples or solving problems. A tutor also needs to be well informed on the content a…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style. This can be achieved by spending some initial time to learn about the students subject weaknesses and strengths to understand how they learn and tailoring the teaching style to suit…

Local Reviews

Since Brendan has been working weekly with my daughter I have seen a big increase in her confidence, her understanding and sense of efficacy and mostly her willingness to do her maths which before she found abstract, confusing and "boring". She told me Brendan makes learning maths fun compared to my parental maths tips from "1874" (in her words). The monthly feedback and email support from Ezymaths is more than I had imagined when I thought about a tutor. For us, it is 100% worth the investment.

Inside GoodnaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ella focused on foundational biology, reviewing key definitions and exploring the basics of ecosystems to strengthen her science understanding.

In Year 11, Jack tackled bivariate data analysis in maths—learning about central tendencies and standard deviation—and also revisited biogeochemical cycles in biology.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah worked through Unit 3 Biodiversity topics by defining core biodiversity terms and practising data test skills with classification and energy flow examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Biology, homework completion has lagged and revision is inconsistent; as one tutor observed, "homework not completed and falling behind on tutoring content."

A Year 10 student's written maths work was messy and lacked clear working out, which made it difficult to trace errors—she often gave only answers rather than full steps.

In Year 7 Mathematics, a student did not bring his workbook home or communicate where he struggled, making review and targeted help impossible during the session.

These patterns left gaps in understanding that resurfaced during more complex problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

One Goodna tutor noticed Zadie, a Year 10 student, is now tackling complex trigonometry problems almost independently—she's started creating her own memory prompts and is confidently applying the quadratic formula after only occasional reminders.

In Year 11 chemistry, Lily moved from confusion to working out hydroxide ion concentrations from pH values by herself during the session, asking for clarification only on trickier chromatography details.

Meanwhile, Zebediah in Year 3 has begun openly pointing out words he doesn't know when reading aloud, rather than skipping them as he did before; last session, he completed "The Big Blue Truck" and all his sight words with no assistance.

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 Redbank Plaza Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Francis Xavier School.
