English Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
The most important thing an english tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it…

I believe that some of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are giving them confidence, catering to their individual learning style, and giving them every chance to succeed. These three things work closely together as if you cater to what an individual student exactly needs, that will eventual give them confidence in…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to empower them with the tools and confidence to become independent learners. Beyond just imparting knowledge, a tutor should encourage critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a strong sense of self-efficacy in their students. This involves not only explaining…

The most important thing for an english tutor to do is inspire self-believe and uncover topics that may become a passion for children. From this, tutors should foster a willingness to develop the child's skills and even potentially find a career path or tertiary education option within a specific area. My willingness to listen and respond calmly…

Make them interested in the content. The students won't want to learn unless they care about the content and while grades are good motivators, pure enjoyment and interest in a subject make it easier to learn. I can teach a varied range of subjects but can quickly adjust to each individual students needs. I try to find an approach that the student…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is to help the child grow and learn through assistance, rather than just providing the answers, as they need to understand what they are learning, and need to be able to develop the skills learned and apply them to their studies. The most important thing for a tutor is to help them become…

Inside Alexandra HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Ethan worked on applications of derivatives, including finding tangent lines and graphing functions using derivative information.

Year 10 student Mia focused on bivariate data analysis and understanding Pearson's correlation coefficient, also practising note-taking for mathematical concepts.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam tackled linear graphs and completed revision tests to strengthen his grasp of algebraic relationships and graphical interpretation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Science, she needs to organise information a little bit better in his notes, making it harder to review for assessments and track key concepts.

A Year 11 student, when tackling proof by induction, still needed prompts with certain parts of the question; as one tutor observed, he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 English learner who understood 'imaginary' struggled to spell it and form sentences—reluctance to read outside class limited vocabulary growth.

In senior Physics, over-reliance on notes meant formulas weren't committed to memory during tests.

Recent Achievements

One Alexandra Hills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling to spot weaknesses in her essays, is now independently identifying and fixing her own writing errors before being prompted.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who found logarithms confusing last term was able to confidently use the correct formula and solve challenging problems with minimal support.

Meanwhile, Paige in Year 3 has made tangible strides with spelling—last week she correctly spelled 8 out of 11 words (up from just 5) and now sounds out tricky syllables aloud to help herself spell new vocabulary during lessons.

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 Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Anthony's School.
