Actively listening to what the student had to say in regards to what they understand and what they struggle with is very important. Letting the student also feel involved in their learning, as opposed to being ordered around sets up a safe environment for the student. I am open minded to the ways other people find they learn best, allowing myself…

Taking an empowering approach to instil confidence and a willingness to learn in a student is essential. I believe as a tutor, i should not only help them to learn the content at hand but also open their minds to learning in different ways such that they start enjoying the process of learning. I always try to think from the perspective of others…

I think its most important to build a strong foundation to build upon in a given subject. for example its not just important that you understand how it works, you should be able to explain how it works to someone else. this is because it shows that you have a strong fluency in the subject and not just the ability to memorise a process. A strong…

Tutoring allows you to know your students better and know their individual needs. Students who go see their teachers during office hours for tutoring perform better because their questions are answered in one-on-one tutoring. I believe in equity. I struggled in school. My parents weren't very educated and couldn't help me with my homework. They…

Communication and trust. Where one may be very knowledgable about the subject, if there is no communication, then there would be no point in tutoring if the student does not understand. Trust is also important because the student needs to trust the tutor and listen to them. In this vein, the tutor must also trust the student to focus and work…

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…

Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive. I feel like growing up most teachers were boring, and could not deliver the concept or usefulness of the things that were being taught. So when I teach I make sure I deliver not only the concepts…

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…

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…

We are all good and super pleased with Joel. He really is awesome and very flexible to fit in with Katie’s schedule and requirements on learning.
Emma

Inside Hope IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ava worked through multiplying tens and hundreds as well as division with decimals using her year-level text, plus completed a spelling practice from random words in her book.

In Year 10, Josh focused on preparing for his General Maths assignment and used a tool to practise rearranging equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily reviewed feedback on her English assignment draft and refined the content by editing sections according to her task sheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Biology student struggled to organise notes for a dense unit on metabolism; as one tutor noted, "breaking down objectives into flashcards and converting them into questions helped clarify revision."

In Year 10 Maths, a student found it difficult to distinguish between method, results, and discussion sections in reports—often not showing steps when rearranging equations, making feedback less effective.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly left homework and materials at school, missing out on spelling practice and task completion. These lapses in organisation or process made learning slower and led to extra time spent catching up instead of progressing.

Recent Achievements

A Hope Island tutor noticed Holly, a Year 11 student, took the initiative to contact her biology teacher for extra feedback on a challenging question and achieved an A in both maths and biology after consistently applying teacher and tutor suggestions—an impressive step up from her last results.

Meanwhile, Kirsty in Year 10 has become much more comfortable using literary devices independently in her creative writing, drawing on feedback and reading fiction to build richer characters; she recently scored 20/25 on her essay, surpassing her previous mark.

In Year 4, Jack volunteered to be timed for his compound words activity and completed it in under 16 seconds—his fastest yet.

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