Science Tutor Darling Heights, QLD
A tutor can help a student develop the necessary skills,by which he can learn and understand by himself. Also, he can help identify the students weaknesses and provide alternatives by which the student can easily learn. I have patience and understanding. I also have excellent writing skills. Moreover, I like challenges and I love it when I can…

Science Tutor East Toowoomba, QLD
I believe a tutor should take teaching very passionately when doing her/his job as these early days in students life will play important role in their later life. At the same time, I think a tutor should be emotionally intelligent enough to build a good relationship with student so that student enjoys learning. I try explain the science concepts…

Science Tutor Centenary Heights, QLD
Allow students to build on previous knowledge and expand their knowledge in a fun way. I believe a tutor can scaffold learning for the student so that they can gain confidence from incremental learning tasks. Patience and I am able to adapt to any student's learning style. Also I am able to prepare learning experiences to match the learning style…

Science Tutor Drayton, QLD
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to teach and help them to learn. The tutor should help the student develop their own skills by setting a good example. I have lots of patience when it comes to teaching. I never stop until the students got what the topic is all…

Haise has been great, and we have had such a good experience with her.

Inside Mount LoftyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Tom reviewed annuities and compound interest calculations in financial maths, then briefly explored key concepts in network theory.

For Year 12, Bonnie practised balancing redox reactions in Chemistry—identifying oxidised and reduced species and ensuring electron balance—and also tackled logarithmic functions in Maths Methods.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student worked through area calculations for compound shapes such as triangles and trapezoids using worksheets to consolidate problem-solving skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with integrating functions because "he hadn't written out all parts of the function before starting," making it harder to spot missing terms and leading to lost marks.

For a Year 12 Chemistry assignment, another needed clearer structure—without guidance on layout, the main points were buried, affecting clarity and assessment against criteria.

In Year 5 maths, homework was left incomplete; as noted, "he had not done any of the homework assigned either," so gaps in basic multiplication skills persisted. These lapses meant more lesson time spent revisiting basics instead of building new understanding.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Lofty recently noticed a real shift with a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling to interpret data when answers didn't match expectations, began adjusting his approach independently by analysing inconsistencies and modifying solutions rather than second-guessing himself.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student who often skipped over teacher feedback now recognises the intent behind comments and purposefully implements them in final responses.

On the primary side, one younger student—who used to avoid homework—turned up having practised her times tables unprompted and finished all assigned problems for the week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mathew and Phi are working well together. Phi is a lovely young man, very polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Phi as he is building a good connection with Matthew and has been very patient, repeating his instructions and challenging Mathew to think about what he is doing.

Adam is great, very professional, organised, genuinely cares and Conan really likes him and enjoys attending.

We are very happy with Ammar and how Caleb and Elijah are progressing.  Ammar is very reliable and a great communicator.

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 Highfields Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Toowoomba State High School.
