English Tutor Upper Caboolture, QLD
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to show the student that they can have fun while they learn. I am a very patient person and I am able to explain things in a variety of different ways, a skill, that I believe, of vital importance to a tutor. I also love coming up with different ways to make sessions as fun…

English Tutor Bellmere, QLD
For me its the concept of instilling confidence. So often children are discouraged by a challenging question and then feel incapable and worthless. This is wrong on so many levels and child should ever feel this way. The most important things a tutor can do is instill confidence in children through patiently encouraging them to never give up and…

Inside Campbells PocketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Darell reviewed prime and composite numbers along with square and triangular numbers, also practicing more advanced questions on discounts.

In Year 9, Rebecca worked through homework problems on multiplying and dividing like terms as well as solving rates questions from class.

For Year 10, Joshua focused on trigonometry topics such as the sine and cosine rules, while also tackling exam-style transposing of equations using sample QCAA papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student was observed relying on reminders to recall key formulas and skipping written working in algebra, which led to confusion during problem-solving ("he skipped some steps in figuring out the questions presented, which led to some confusion in how to tackle the question").

In a Year 8 session, messy or incomplete note-taking made it harder for the student to revise and connect concepts between lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student tended to jump quickly to answers without pausing to understand word problems, sometimes leading her down the wrong path.

Moments like these left students spending extra time retracing their steps rather than progressing confidently.

Recent Achievements

A Campbells Pocket tutor noticed that Joshua, a high school student, now asks questions whenever unsure about a maths step—he used to stay quiet and guess, but recently started seeking clarification during problem-solving and has improved in transposing equations.

Rebecca, also in high school, has become more comfortable admitting when she doesn't understand a question and actively identifies topics needing attention; last week she managed all frequency table problems with minimal hints after previously needing lots of support.

Meanwhile, Summer in primary school now tackles tasks independently without waiting for prompts from her tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

We are very pleased with the tutoring and Nafuil is a very pleasant young man and easy to talk to. I was a bit concerned that Autumn might be a bit shy with him but she really likes him and all is well. Nafiul has advised that Autumn only has small gaps in her knowledge and he is assisting her with gaining this knowledge.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

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 Woodford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Mee State School.
