English Tutor
I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build a rapport with them so that the student feels comfortable asking questions when they do not understand topics or content, which allows the tutor to address this issue. I find that my strengths as a tutor are being able to work with the student to ascertain the specific…

Inside Cedar GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Alex worked on **displaying data with a focus on histograms**, and identified specific maths concepts she found challenging last semester for targeted revision.

For Year 10, exam preparation included revising trigonometry topics such as **applying trig formulas** and solving problems involving three-figure bearings.

Another Year 10 student reviewed scatterplots by classifying types of correlation and then explored standard deviation—**learning to calculate it both manually using tables and efficiently with a calculator's built-in functions**.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student reflected, "I was a few marks shy of passing—mostly from small errors like labelling units and graphs," highlighting the impact of missed details in test conditions.

In Year 11, incomplete practice tests and reliance on tutor guidance meant key exam strategies weren't trialed under pressure.

A Year 9 student left homework unfinished and needed to memorise times tables for fluency; meanwhile, a Year 8 struggled with messy equation layouts, making it hard to spot sign errors when isolating variables.

During trigonometry word problems in senior years, not writing down all required variables led to confusion mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cedar Grove tutor noticed Diali, a Year 10 student, has started identifying her own errors in practice exams and now sets out each problem step by step—previously she'd skip steps and make simple mistakes.

In a senior session, a student who struggled with applying trigonometric formulas was able to work through sine and cosine exercises independently for the first time, after weeks of confusion.

Meanwhile, Alex in Year 6 not only completed her scatterplot homework but also joined in making assumptions for a mini-assignment—she used to wait passively rather than participate.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Karina is lovely and I think she will work out just fine. Amelia is very happy with her  and they seem to be getting along fine. I hadnt realised Amelia was so far behind, and am actually glad she asked me to find help.

We are really happy with Hayoli as a tutor.  I don't like to compare but she is 100% better at explaining things than the last tutor.  The difference is quite amazing actually.  She is very efficient, just comes straight in and gets straight to work.  No chit chat at all (which I don't mind).  She actually brings in resources that she thinks will help Amy and seems like she has a plan, rather than just turning up with nothing prepared.  I can highly recommend Hayoli. Thankyou for finding Hayoli for us.  She is amazing,

Thank you for the email. I just want to tell you how happy we are with Lisa. Because of that two hour block right before his math half year exam, his grade has already improved. I am ver impressed with Lisa professionalism and her preparedness. Andrew enjoys math tutoring with Lisa.

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 Jimboomba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodhill State School.
