Geography Tutor Victoria Point, QLD
A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for. The most important thing a tutor can do is broaden and enhance the knowledge of the students in a way they understand. 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…

Geography Tutor Eagleby, QLD
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them in becoming more confident in their ability to do the work in the subjects they need help in. I think my strengths as a tutor are such things as: my patience, my ability to understand what it’s like to struggle in class, my ability to explain things multiple ways, my…

I can help the student regain confidence so that he or she can do what is required. I tutor students online with Ezymath, so I can tutor your child wherever you live in Australia. My sister has told me that I make complicated things easy to understand by getting to the core of the problem. She said that I usually said: "Look at it this way",…

To keep them proficient, motivated, confident, engaged and disciplined in their subject. It is important to be enthusiastic about the subject too to maximise a student's interest in it. My helpful nature, my patience and my interest in the subject matter. I have recent experience in the subject matter and didn't finish school too long ago…

Local Reviews

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.
