Engineering Studies Tutor Townsville, QLD
There are various skills and attitudes that a tutor should have inorder for the student to enjoy and learn during lesson time. Being able to build rapport was one of the skills that a tutor should have its a way for the student to be comfortable. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For instance…

Engineering Studies Tutor
I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

Excellent to date. Kyle is on time always, and my granddaughter is learning the maths foundations that she's missing. Kyle is able to show many alternative ways of completing tasks.

Inside Mount St JohnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and calculating order of operations using school test material.

Year 10 student Isaac worked through ionic and covalent bond interactions in chemistry, with practice questions on identifying compound types and writing chemical formulas.

For Year 11, Eve reviewed trigonometry problems from a past exam and tackled similarity and congruence questions, discussing strategies for both familiar and unfamiliar question types.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student did not complete several homework assignments in algebra and graphing, which led to difficulty keeping up with coordinate work. "She could not finish her assigned Homework again," one tutor noted, meaning new concepts built on shaky ground.

In Year 11 chemistry, another student arrived unprepared without an online textbook open; this slowed progress during gas law calculations.

A senior English student struggled to organise assessment drafts and locate updated versions of their tasks—vital feedback was missed as a result.

In each case, missing preparation or organisation directly blocked deeper learning and timely feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Mount St John tutor noticed Eve, a Year 10 student, starting to spot her own mistakes on school tests after reviewing just two textbook exercises together—she now actively pinpoints where she went wrong instead of glossing over errors.

In senior English, Jacinta recently arrived with her essay already drafted and feedback in hand from both her teacher and tutor, showing a big step up in self-initiative compared to earlier sessions when she waited for prompts.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 7) has begun asking questions mid-lesson whenever she's unsure about the Pythagorean theorem, rather than hesitating or staying silent.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the follow up. Sinan is working out fine. He has connected with Matthew well. Matthew has indicated that Sinan is explaining some of the mathematical concepts better than what his teacher is explaining, which is a good start. Hopefully this will translate into a better maths grade.

Thank you for your e-mail.  I have spoken to Wen from the beginning about how he finds the tutoring with Charles.  Wen advised that he is happy with Charles as Charles is very kind and very understanding tutor. Wen said Charles communicate with ease and that makes it easier for Wen to understand.  Wen said he likes that Charles teaches him the faster and straight forward methods as it is less confusing.  Wen said he has been attempting harder questions with Charles which in turn gives him more confidence to attempt them.

We are very happy with Harriet , thanks. Mikayla has found it very easy to relate to her , and Harriet is always approachable and responsive. As it has only been a couple of weeks and is now school holidays , we haven't got any school results to go on however I am sure we will start to see results in this area. We had a negative experience with tutoring in the past (different organisation) , so we were reluctant to go down this path again , however I think we will have success with Harriet.

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 Citylibraries Aitkenvale—or at your child's school (with permission), like Calvary Christian College.
