I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

The most important thing you can do for a student is usually to inspire them, as this is the number one key to success and personal growth for them in a subject, in my opinion. Allowing students to appreciate beauty and simplicity links the value of the topics to their work in it. Of course, some students are already very passionate so for them…

The most important thing that a physics tutor can do for a student is to engage the student in a way which makes them want to keep learning that specific subject if not fall in love with it. At the end of the day motivation must come from the student themself and as a tutor I believe it is my job to help the student find that motivation. I believe…

Excellent to date. Kyle is on time always, and my granddaughter is learning the maths foundations that she's missing. Kyle is able to show many alternative ways of completing tasks.

Inside Mount St JohnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and calculating order of operations using school test material.

Year 10 student Isaac worked through ionic and covalent bond interactions in chemistry, with practice questions on identifying compound types and writing chemical formulas.

For Year 11, Eve reviewed trigonometry problems from a past exam and tackled similarity and congruence questions, discussing strategies for both familiar and unfamiliar question types.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student did not complete several homework assignments in algebra and graphing, which led to difficulty keeping up with coordinate work. "She could not finish her assigned Homework again," one tutor noted, meaning new concepts built on shaky ground.

In Year 11 chemistry, another student arrived unprepared without an online textbook open; this slowed progress during gas law calculations.

A senior English student struggled to organise assessment drafts and locate updated versions of their tasks—vital feedback was missed as a result.

In each case, missing preparation or organisation directly blocked deeper learning and timely feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Mount St John tutor noticed Eve, a Year 10 student, starting to spot her own mistakes on school tests after reviewing just two textbook exercises together—she now actively pinpoints where she went wrong instead of glossing over errors.

In senior English, Jacinta recently arrived with her essay already drafted and feedback in hand from both her teacher and tutor, showing a big step up in self-initiative compared to earlier sessions when she waited for prompts.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 7) has begun asking questions mid-lesson whenever she's unsure about the Pythagorean theorem, rather than hesitating or staying silent.

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.
