English Tutor Brighton, QLD
Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think an english tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught…

The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject. Mathematics is a tough subject and it is important tutors take the right approach when they teach that subject. I am a huge believer in teachers being friends with their students. My biggest strength is that I get along with students and try…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot…

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

Inside BrightonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Izzy worked on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100 using number lines, along with practicing timetables and basic multiplication/division problems.

For Year 9, Georgia focused on ratios and percentages, as well as representing data through histograms and frequency tables.

In Year 11, Will covered quadratic expressions by expanding and factorising polynomials, then tackled inequalities involving both algebraic manipulation and graphing simple solution sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student preparing for rates and ratios needed to consult notes frequently before recalling processes, slowing her down in tests; she had to check notes before applying a formula, observed one tutor.

In Year 10, an assignment was delayed due to missed deadlines—this meant fewer chances to clarify doubts before submission.

Meanwhile, a senior student in calculus often hesitated to ask questions about steps they'd misapplied, resulting in repeated errors on integration problems.

For one Year 5 learner, untidy working made it hard for the tutor to trace mistakes in multi-step subtraction tasks, leaving misconceptions unresolved until reviewed together.

Recent Achievements

A Brighton tutor recently saw a Year 11 student complete an entire maths exam within the time limit—previously, he'd run out of time or skipped questions under pressure.

Another high school student, who used to need every step explained for algebra, now regularly tries word problems independently and only checks in when she's truly stuck.

Meanwhile, one of our younger learners made a noticeable leap: after weeks of guessing times tables answers, he now confidently recites his sixes from memory and even started answering related division questions without hesitation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Phal has been amazing with our kids and she has improved their standard immeasurably. They have delighted in her passionate teaching style and have come away with much knowledge and strategies in approaching their maths.

Eric has been tutoring both my children for math over the past year. He has demonstrated exemplary patience and persistence in engaging with both children, and has successfully improved their mathematic skills. Eric is always calm and organised, he consistently plans ahead for lessons and adjusts what to teach according to need. He is punctual and reliable, and flexible enough to work around his own schedule and the busy schedule of families. He considers my feedback on how the children are going, and has found his own ways to help them maintain focus for the entire session. I have enjoyed having Eric as a tutor in our home and have recommended him to other families.

The ezymaths company was professional to deal with, our tutor was punctual and very knowledgeable and generally a very nice person. Our tutor identified by the second lesson the areas my daughter needed to focus on and from this time she has been addressing these areas. My daughter enjoys her tutoring sessions now.

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 Sandgate Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Kieran's School.
