Science Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a positive learning environment. Students need to feel safe and they should be excited to learn. If tutors create a happy, welcoming and productive teaching space, the student will be more willing to listen and participate. This includes always staying calm and never becoming…

Science Tutor Birkdale, QLD
Communicate the fundamentals of the problem at hand and provide insight into what is being solved. In maths especially understanding the question and helping the student to find that understanding is always the first move to make with a student. If they don't understand what's being asked then they won't be able to find the right answer and…

Science Tutor Cleveland, QLD
A common misconception within tutoring is the difference between teaching and doing for. The most important thing a tutor can do is broaden and enhance the knowledge of the students in a way they understand. Within reason, an improvement in ability is far more important than an improvement in grades. I excel at building a bond between my self and…

The most important thing a 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 concepts but…

The most important thing for a 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 even in…

A tutor must be able to get the student to their goal without the tutor doing the work however instead mentoring the student to get there. This platform will enable the student to apply for future studies such as uni. Another important thing is time management and work ethic the tutor must teach to the student to enable the greatest amount of…

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.
