Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a platform that naturally promotes their own learning. A tutor must be able to nurture the student's understanding whilst not overpowering them. Asking questions to the student is a great way of doing this. Being nurturing allows the student to gain confidence in themselves which will…

Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
The most important thing a 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 is…

Tutor Alexandra Hills, QLD
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond just explaining the content. First, a tutor should make the student feel comfortable asking questions — even the ones they think are “silly.†When a student feels safe to speak up, real learning starts. Second, it’s important to focus on understanding, not…

Be able to change how they teach to best suit about the student.

Sarah, Birkdale

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.
