The most important things a tutor can do are to listen to their students and respond accordingly when tutoring them. It is also important to encourage their abilities and help them to succeed. A tutor should also be there to encourage continuous learning and creating a positive learning environment. I believe my strengths as a tutor are working…

Psychology Tutor Jindalee, QLD
If you are a tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found it…

Psychology Tutor South Brisbane, QLD
A tutor should be patient and should be able to accomodate oneself with the students. The main aim of the tutor should be to suit to the needs of the child. I am extremely patient with students and I can listen to all that they have to offer. I can deal with kids since I have a younger brother. My biggest strength is that I wouldn't hesitate to…

Psychology Tutor Ferny Hills, QLD
I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is teach them to think independently and creatively. A student needs to learn to be able to view things from different perspectives and formulate their own opinions and solutions. I am patient, good at working with children with diverse needs, and I am a creative thinker who can explain…

Inside Mount Coot-thaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lauren focused on calculating area and perimeter for a housing plan, as well as applying formulas to real-world measurement scenarios.

In Year 10, Will reviewed parabolas and practiced using the quadratic formula while preparing his assignment, working through both graphing and equation-solving steps.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lily concentrated on solving simultaneous equations by substitution and elimination, then circled back to strengthen her understanding of inequalities from earlier in the year.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with organizing notes between school and tutoring, often writing in random places and leaving their notebook at school; as a tutor noted, "notebook left at school, still needs to begin taking notes in a separate notebook." This made it harder to review methods for algebra and inequalities later.

In Year 7 maths, another student didn't complete assigned homework on time, missing practice with fractions and word problems.

A senior student relied heavily on the calculator during quadratic equations but skipped recording working—resulting in confusion when errors appeared.

The anxiety of forgetting steps showed up right before tests, leading to last-minute cramming rather than steady revision.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Coot Tha tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling with parabolas earlier in the term, was able to complete all related questions independently by lesson's end and even explained her working out.

A Year 8 student has begun flagging specific maths problems she finds challenging rather than skipping them, showing new initiative and ownership over her learning.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who previously hesitated with times tables now confidently recalls nearly all of them and applies mental strategies for tricky ones without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I texted Nathan to say well done cos April got a B- on her maths exam. Huge difference in her grade and her attitude, she's sooooo happy.

So far so good, Nicole is doing a lot better and Nidhi seems to be a great help.

Thank you for your email received today. I am very pleased to report that we are very impressed with Minh and his approach to tutoring our son. Minh is a very responsible and passionate teacher, we feel his enthusiasm will promote Elijah-Taye to the required level in a reasonable time frame.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chapel Hill State School.
