Empower and encourage them to problem solve themselves and to find a passion for learning. I still remember my fifth grade maths teacher, his passion was contagious and infectious and still to this day he is in my top three favourite teachers of all time (and I’ve been studying for 20 years!). I have well-developed interpersonal skills, from…

A tutor can adjust his teaching ways and methods to meet students requirements. A tutor should learn the students level of learning then only a tutor can prove himself best for student.

A tutor can boost a child’s confidence when he/ she understands the concept and solves the sums with a proper understanding. Setting small goals to complete big dreams. Keeping pace with school speed. Taking stress out of difficult subjects. I have done B.Sc. In statistics and B.Ed. With Maths and English as specials. Both the degrees with high…

One of the most important things would be to develop a safe and supportive environment for a student such that he/she is able to willingly clarify any doubts they have.

Help the student really connect and think about learning in a different manner. Learning doesn't have to be a chore and can be a thing the student can really come to enjoy. Making the whole experience a lot more pleasurable which in turn helps the student get the most out of learning. Also working on achieving that bond with the student will help…

I believe that the most imortant thing is to ensure that the student gains an understanding of the work, rather than simply memorising a process. That way they will be able to apply their knowledge to other areas. As a tutor, my main strength is my ability to help students understand the work. During my time at school, I would always find that you…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a platform that naturally promotes their own learning. A tutor must be able to nurture the student's understanding whilst not overpowering them. Asking questions to the student is a great way of doing this. Being nurturing allows the student to gain confidence in themselves which will…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it is…

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, a tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing patience,…

Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my self and…

Tutors need to listen properly. Students always give signs as to how they learn best, and paying attention to those signs is paramount. Also, clear communication at their pace goes a long way.

Electra is a Miracle Tutor! I have a very difficult, stubborn 16year old boy. Electra, somehow , got inside his head and now my 16year old is trying to improve. He is finally making an effort in a subject that he couldn't care less about, but is a core subject! I'm so very impressed by Electras Skill!

Inside Mount CottonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella worked on understanding the order of operations (BIDMAS) and identifying rational versus irrational numbers.

In Year 10, Taylor practiced expanding algebraic expressions and rearranging equations using both worksheets and textbook problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jakob focused on financial mathematics by reviewing annuities and loan repayments through targeted practice questions from a General Maths worksheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for a General Maths test relied heavily on notes during revision, as observed in "revision before the test would be done without notes." This made it difficult to recall key steps independently.

In Year 9 algebra, another student skipped working out and showed only final answers—"requires more working out for question solution"—which meant sign errors went unnoticed until checking time.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling annuities questions missed subtle mistakes in written work, leading to repeated confusion when reviewing past sessions.

During primary multiplication drills, one child continued counting on fingers instead of practicing mental recall; this slowed progress and made multi-step problems daunting.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Cotton noticed that a Year 11 student, who previously needed regular prompts to show working out, has started writing each step for her solutions—a shift that's crucial for gaining marks on written exams.

In another session, a Year 12 student chose to tackle past exam papers independently and now works through most questions solo, only checking notes when truly stuck.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated with basic addition is not only completing sums faster but now chooses to play math games independently that involve new multiplication skills without waiting for help.
