English Tutor Ashmore, QLD
The most important thing an english tutor can do is give their student confidence. Helping them to realise that they can understand a concept or solve a problem should increase their confidence in themselves, which is a vital trait to have as they move forward in high-school and further on in life. I am very patient and hardworking. If i don't…

English Tutor Carrara, QLD
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is understand their concerns with the materials they are being taught. Every student has unique problems to overcome in their schooling life and viewing each student as an individual is key. It is also important to be able to rephrase and recontextualise material given to them by their…

English Tutor Parkwood, QLD
A tutor must be patient as well as motivating for their students. They must be organised and have a well structured plan to support their students while still being open to their ideas and opinions. The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

Truly the most important thing any tutor can do for a student is to help create and cultivate a growth mindset. By doing this, students become lifelong, innovative learners. This certainly occurs in the classroom, but teachers are expected to do this to upwards of 20+ children. Tutors are important to students because they assist in expanding…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do for the student is to be flexible in their teaching methods and approaches to learning/teaching content as there are so many different learning styles out there and they are there with us because they may be having trouble with the teaching methods used at school. In those cases in…

English Tutor Pacific Pines, QLD
I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject. If the student is able to walk away from a session being able to understand the concept and feel interested and confident with it, they not only will gain better results in exams but will have a better idea of the subject as…

I believe the most important things an english tutor can provide are motivation and discipline. I might not be the smartest tutor, but I’m there to accompany my students, help them trust themselves, remind them of their goals, and keep them disciplined in their studies whenever they feel lost. It’s not about how fast they progress but about…

I think the best tutors teach at a speed that the student requires. If an english tutor is impatient, not only does it reduce what the student learns but also discourages them from asking for help. Tutors need to accommodate each specific student, as each one is different. I have been studying for a Bachelor of Law/Arts for the past four years.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to change their perception of what their learning to not only just a task, but rather a hobby. I am an outgoing person, so I would have no issue in talking to the client. I am also renowned for being patient when I help people, which I believe is a necessity in…

Natalie is absolutely fantastic! I cannot express how good she is with our son! She is so proficient at her job. He has had a sense of achievement after each lesson with her.

Inside Mount NathanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student India worked on two and three times tables, telling time on an analogue clock, and using money for practical calculations.

Year 10 student Jade focused on algebraic techniques, including solving equations and applying Pythagoras' theorem to right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lisa tackled Biology concepts such as calculating Simpson's Diversity Index for biodiversity studies and constructing punnet squares to predict genetic outcomes.

Recent Challenges

The Year 12 biology student was hesitant to use scientific resources beyond websites for assignments and often needed to double-check unfamiliar methods or terminology with her teacher—"Lisa needed to confirm the results with her teacher as there were things that she hadn't covered in class."

In Year 10 maths, one student's graph work suffered from formatting issues; adjusting how data was graphed took up valuable session time.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 algebra student doubted herself when tackling new types of problems, which slowed progress during practice: this meant more energy spent seeking reassurance than building fluency in key skills.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Nathan tutor noticed a big shift in Ella's approach to maths: after struggling with worded problems and trigonometry, she now draws her own diagrams and breaks down the questions independently before solving them—something she avoided before.

In biology, Lisa began reviewing teacher feedback unprompted on her report and made adjustments during the session instead of waiting for guidance.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, India moved from hesitating with addition games to racing through them faster than ever—she even solved every card correctly using new strategies picked up last week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Just an up date on Alexander. He is absolutely shining with Matt - fantastic tutor!

Ivana is really on to where Ethan's weaknesses and strengths are and works on them. The report is very thorough and I see/agree with her feedback. She really knows where he is at. It's great areas can be targeted and some are quick and some take longer to consolidate. We are very happy with Ivana and appreciate all her efforts!

Padma and Pearl have made a good connection and are working well together. She arrives on time, is very focussed and very good at engaging Pearl. Padma also really knows her maths and I think this has helped pearl feel more confident about doing math.

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 Helensvale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Silkwood School.
