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…

The most important thing a physics 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…

The best kind of confidence builder is being able to understand something on your own so the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to get the student to a point where they don't need a tutor anymore.

The most important aspect a physics tutor can bring is helping a student find their way through a difficult problem or struggles.

To be a succesful tutor I believe that one shouldn't just assist students with homework or exams, but offer a sense of guidance. If I was accepted I would seek to establish an open line of communication with my student, and encourage them ot reach out to me for any assistance beyond the constraints of the subject I'm formaly tutoring them in. I am…

It is pivotal that the tutor is always easily approachable as otherwise shy students may be reluctant to ask the tutor questions and thus those shy kids may end up falling behind. In addition, I feel that tutors must always be supportive towards the student as any harsh or negative comments may severely hinder a students willingness and ability to…

A tutor must be able to get the student to their goal without the tutor doing the work however instead mentoring the student to get there. This platform will enable the student to apply for future studies such as uni. Another important thing is time management and work ethic the tutor must teach to the student to enable the greatest amount of…

Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success, the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. When a physics tutor…

I think the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is create a positive learning environment. Students need to feel safe and they should be excited to learn. If tutors create a happy, welcoming and productive teaching space, the student will be more willing to listen and participate. This includes always staying calm and never…

The most important things a physics tutor can do for a student is to be fully aware of what the student understands and what they need.

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I just wanted to reiterate how happy we were with Nikki both as a tutor and role model for Emily.

Ivana has been helping, and sent through some good notes and concepts for him to view.

Jessica and Mohamed had a great start and I think Mohamed is doing a good job getting to know Jessica. I'm pleased with his teaching style and method.

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 Victoria Point Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Cotton State School.
