Aside from teaching the content in an understandable and logical manner, I also think that a tutor should try to inspire a student to become a self-directed and motivated learner. Such a transformation creates the best performing students because they no longer overly rely on the tutelage of others. Rather, they learn to handle a variety of…

Help a student to believe in themselves academically and give them the confidence to approach any problem even if they don't immediately know the solution. I am very patient, understanding, empathetic and resourceful. I try to explain a concept in a way that I think would be easiest for the person to understand and simplify it before adding on…

Even if their grades don't improve, the most essential thing is to help develop their confidence and improve their attitude towards learning. If they are confident and interested in what they are learning, and feel positive about it, they are so much more likely to improve. Definitely my patience, as I have always been a very calm and patient…

Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. When a tutor…

Be encouraging and supportive, understanding that mistakes and errors are a part of the learning process. Additionally, tutors should encourage a lot of questions from the student. Tutors should also not generalise their teaching but rather tailor it to each student, and if possible make it enjoyable. Lastly, it is important to be on the same page…

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing.

As teachers have to look over a lot of students, students who fall behind or struggle with conventional learning styles only get a limited amount of help.

Truly the most important thing any tutor can do for a student is to help create and cultivate a growth mindset. By doing this, students become lifelong, innovative learners. This certainly occurs in the classroom, but teachers are expected to do this to upwards of 20+ children. Tutors are important to students because they assist in expanding…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help build their confidence. A student is able to do anything, learn anything but only if they believe that they can do it or learn it.

I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject. If the student is able to walk away from a session being able to understand the concept and feel interested and confident with it, they not only will gain better results in exams but will have a better idea of the subject as…

Angus arrives punctually and is always prepared with his reference notes. 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.
