A tutor can be good friends with the student first, learn about the students' hobbies, fear and problems relating to the subject matter and tailor a schedule that works best for that student. A tutor should be transparent, share their own experiences and be available to help the student. In addition, a tutor can be a counselor and a guide. I…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student.

Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

A tutor can identify room for improvements in the student's learning, whether it is in their knowledge base or in their learning habits, and help them develop strategies to address those gaps.

My son feels comfortable asking questions and Angus is doing a fabulous job consolidating learning and reinforcing some math principles in Math Methods and Specialist Maths. Angus is very patient. We appreciate his support in tutoring.

Inside HollywellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on multiplying tens and hundreds as well as division with decimals using targeted book exercises, plus some spelling practice.

In Year 10, Olivia reviewed trigonometry concepts—specifically applying the unit circle to solve problems—and moved on to advanced formulas like the reduction formula.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Riley prepared for an upcoming maths exam by working through surface area revision and practicing related problem-solving questions from a mock test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 biology student struggled to organise notes for a content-heavy metabolism unit; flashcards were introduced, but "too much information on a single card" limited their usefulness.

In Year 10 maths, an incomplete homework task meant missed practice with volume equations before an upcoming exam.

A Year 9 student avoided writing out algebraic steps—"he tries to solve and calculate things in his mind without writing"—which led to persistent sign errors.

Meanwhile, a primary student left both the homework booklet and spelling words at school, making it difficult to reinforce learning routines at home that week.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hollywell noticed Kirsty, a senior student, now independently draws on literary devices—like strong openers and dropping into conflict—to strengthen her creative writing, a big shift from earlier drafts where she struggled to engage the reader.

Meanwhile, Holly in Year 11 achieved A grades for both maths and biology assignments after applying feedback with far more precision than last term, showing real initiative by reaching out to teachers for extra guidance.

In primary, Jack volunteered to be timed on a compound words activity and finished it in under sixteen seconds—a new sign of self-driven learning he didn't show before.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coombabah State School.
