I believe that a 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 of…

Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood. I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Science 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…

Science 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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tahlia and Jonah are getting along very well so far and Tahlia appears to be taking on board the information that Jonah is giving her. Tahlia is enjoying her tutoring sessions and it doesn't feel like an hour to her.

Dorcas is a very patient tutor, she has lots of experience and is good with children. She is willing to go the extra mile and my son has been improving under her guidance.

I would like to say how impressed we were with El-Abed. You provide a really useful support service.

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 Enkindle Village School.
