I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is trying their best in teaching and being able to help them understand as much as they can while giving them a fun time. I try my best to teach my student in the easiest way possible so that they can understand what they need to do. I'm also very positive minded when tutoring…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is give a student confidence. A lot of academic success is really self-belief and believing you can do the problem before you begin. If you do not have confidence i.e., you do not think you can do it. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's why I am so passionate about this, since I believe I…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide them in the right path and inspire them to work smarter in the area they are struggling in. Everyone works differently and to actually help them change their mindset, we need to ensure that we are not forcing knowledge into their heads, but rather helping them find the motivation…

Children would prefer a friendly environment where they can feel comfortable enough to ask questions and let the tutor know that they don't understanding anything.

Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them. Some of my strengths would…

Inside CapalabaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student James focused on binomial and normal distributions, including how to interpret and extract key information from worded probability questions.

In Year 8, Emma worked through bivariate data analysis by calculating Pearson's correlation coefficient and improving her note-taking for statistics topics.

For primary, Year 3 student Paige practised identifying sentence types—interrogative, imperative, declarative, exclamatory—and converted verbs into past, present, and future tenses while checking grammar as she wrote.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student arrived without the necessary materials, limiting progress on targeted questions; as a tutor noted, "he should have his work ready for next time."

In senior maths, a student's written solutions lacked clear layout and structure, making it harder to spot errors during complex algebra or financial problems.

Another senior student showed over-reliance on notes for remembering formulas instead of committing them to memory—this slowed her response in timed practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner avoided asking for help when unsure how to begin a long division problem, leading to repeated missteps and frustration.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Capalaba recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip over mistakes now stops and explains what went wrong before correcting her algebra, which has made her homework much more accurate.

In a senior maths session, one student, after struggling with probability distributions last term, can now confidently handle any discrete random variable question in the textbook without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Paige in primary school began sounding out syllables on her own for tricky spelling words and often fixed errors before the tutor pointed them out—last week she spelled eight out of eleven correctly after getting only five right previously.

What they say about our tutoring

James is doing fine in college maths class now, he is understanding what is going down in class which is a new experience for him - thank you.

Daniel got his marks back for his final exams in Mathematics. There has been a dramatic improvement in his results. Thank you. He is going to do 4 unit maths in year 12.

Jessica is doing well with Zac. Jessica is very pleasant and easy going and Zac enjoys the lessons with her.

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 Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Capalaba State College.
