English Tutor Upper Mount Gravatt, QLD
Be approachable and pay attention. It's very hard to put your own worldview aside when it comes to knowledge, and many people are likely not even cognisant of that, but you need to understand that you know things that the child doesn't even know what they don't know. I make learning a bit more laid back and approachable. My strength is in relating…

The most important thing an english tutor could do for a student is to make them more passionate and confident about their learning, as this will transition well past the tutoring period and into their future academics. Additionally, a tutor should help the student build good study habits that they can maintain independently. I'm very patient with…

Inside Upper Mount GravattTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Shani focused on probability and data analysis, including interpreting simple statistics and practicing basic probability scenarios.

In Year 10, Lara worked through the discriminant in quadratic equations and reviewed linear equations, reinforcing her algebra skills with targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Savio tackled arithmetic and geometric sequences by building recurrence models from information given and practiced rearranging algebraic equations using a step-by-step approach.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, incomplete homework became a pattern—one student "didn't finish the homework I gave," making it harder to build confidence with algebraic conversions.

In Year 10, a student shared she "finds it difficult to motivate herself to study for exams and usually procrastinates until the last minute," which left her rushed during practice sessions and less able to handle time pressure.

A Year 11 student relied on mental calculations in equations, skipping written steps; as noted, "it's better to write down the working steps out than doing mental maths." This made tracing errors nearly impossible under exam conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Upper Mount Gravatt noticed that a Year 10 student, who previously struggled to organise her thoughts for English assignments, began catching her own run-on sentences and correcting them independently by the end of their session.

In Year 8 maths, one student who used to quietly guess at answers started openly asking questions whenever unsure—showing real initiative that hadn't been there before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student managed to finish all target questions on time for the first time after weeks of needing reminders, handing in her completed worksheet without any prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Karina is lovely and I think she will work out just fine. Amelia is very happy with her  and they seem to be getting along fine. I hadnt realised Amelia was so far behind, and am actually glad she asked me to find help.

We are really happy with Hayoli as a tutor.  I don't like to compare but she is 100% better at explaining things than the last tutor.  The difference is quite amazing actually.  She is very efficient, just comes straight in and gets straight to work.  No chit chat at all (which I don't mind).  She actually brings in resources that she thinks will help Amy and seems like she has a plan, rather than just turning up with nothing prepared.  I can highly recommend Hayoli. Thankyou for finding Hayoli for us.  She is amazing,

Thank you for the email. I just want to tell you how happy we are with Lisa. Because of that two hour block right before his math half year exam, his grade has already improved. I am ver impressed with Lisa professionalism and her preparedness. Andrew enjoys math tutoring with Lisa.

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 Garden City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Upper Mount Gravatt State School.
