I believe that an english tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms…

English Tutor Kirwan, QLD
One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to not only teach content but to be there as a mentor. Exam periods, life and post-school options can all be stressful for students and it is vital that a tutor can mentor students throughout this through stress mechanisms. This, coupled with effective teaching methods and…

English Tutor Wulguru, QLD
Be able to explain concepts simply and in different ways until the student is able to understand. Also be calm and patient and understand that students can struggle to grasp certain concepts and may take time to understand them. I'm patient and understanding. I've only been out of education for a few months so can easily remember how difficult it…

English Tutor
One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate the student and help build their love for the subject. Helping the student let go of their fear of the subject can not only help them in the present but also aid them in their future endeavours. I personally am aware of the feeling of fearing a subject but also conquering this fear by…

Inside Mount StuartTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac worked through quadratic equations in Maths—tackling harder problem types—and in Chemistry focused on writing ionic compounds and naming covalent compounds.

For Year 9, Sophia revised index laws, simplifying expressions under the square root, and practiced converting decimals to fractions using homework examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Eve solved questions involving unit conversions and simple ratios, as well as finding missing angles in triangles and quadrilaterals.

Recent Challenges

Several process habits limited progress across year levels.

In Year 9, incomplete homework repeatedly interrupted skill-building; as one tutor noted, "she could not finish her assigned homework again," leaving gaps in coordinate graphing.

A Year 10 student struggled to explain mathematical reasoning—"needs improvement when it comes to explaining why the answer is what it is"—which made advanced trigonometry comparisons harder to grasp.

Organization issues also emerged in senior years: a Year 12 student arrived unprepared, without their online textbook ready, slowing down chemistry problem-solving.

In English (Year 11), lack of cohesive sentence structure led to confusion during essay drafting and left ideas underdeveloped.

Recent Achievements

A Mount Stuart tutoring session saw one Year 10 student, Jacinta, bring in a draft essay that had already incorporated feedback from both her schoolteacher and the tutor—something she'd hesitated to do independently before.

Meanwhile, Eve (Year 11) not only pinpointed where she lost marks on a recent maths test after reviewing textbook exercises with her tutor but also began tackling complex binomial theorem expansions without needing step-by-step guidance.

In primary, Sophia moved from struggling with division to completing several problems entirely on her own and immediately asked for extra questions when finished.
