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…

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 Douglas, QLD
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…

There are various skills and attitudes that a tutor should have inorder for the student to enjoy and learn during lesson time. Being able to build rapport was one of the skills that a tutor should have its a way for the student to be comfortable. Moreover, being attentive to the student is a way of making the lesson flow smoothly. For instance…

Local Reviews

Ara and Steven are getting on well. I think it has helped just having someone to ask questions of outside the classroom setting. Also getting an alternate explanations is helping her really click on concepts. She is well advanced on her assignment which she has worked through with Steven. Seems to be more confident to back herself as well.

Inside Mount LouisaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac focused on naming ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry, as well as balancing chemical equations through practice questions.

For Year 10, Sophia worked through complex algebra by expanding brackets and solving equations, with additional attention given to factorising quadratic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Eve reviewed Pythagoras' theorem for finding side lengths and tackled basic trigonometry concepts, using diagrams to clarify angle relationships in triangles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student missed several homework tasks in algebra and graphing, which led to gaps in practice—"Sophia could not finish her assigned Homework again."

In Year 10 chemistry, one student arrived unprepared without the online textbook open; this slowed progress through gas laws.

A senior English student's drafts showed issues with cohesion between sentences and paragraphs, making arguments less clear.

Another senior struggled to locate the latest version of an assessment during a science planning session, delaying targeted feedback.

When homework or resources are incomplete or disorganised, valuable lesson time is lost chasing basics rather than building mastery.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Louisa noticed that a Year 11 student, Eve, has started pinpointing her own mistakes on test questions—she now actively recognises where she went wrong after reviewing exercises together, rather than just accepting errors.

In another session, Jacinta (Year 10) brought a revised essay draft that clearly reflected feedback from both her teacher and the tutor; this level of initiative hadn't been shown before.

Meanwhile, a younger student, Sophia, recently solved all her division problems without any prompts for help—a real shift from needing step-by-step guidance last term.

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 Calvary Christian College.
