I believe one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is be patient. If they are struggling to understand a subject, they are going to get more frustrated the longer it takes for them to grasp. I believe that it is exacerbated by the class moving on to another topic before the student is ready, and it is our job to work…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to change their perception of what their learning to not only just a task, but rather a hobby.

The most important thing for me I guess is to connect with them in a way they feel like they can be comfortable around me so that maybe then they get inspired to learn; to be an inspiration, that is. I once scrolled past this quote on social media that made so much sense to me, "You cannot teach children to behave better by making them feel worse.…

Inside CarraraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Fractions worked on recognising and comparing fractions, as well as finding a fraction of a whole number using practical examples.

In Year 11, Hamiltonian path and cycle problems were tackled along with Euler paths and circuits, focusing on understanding how to identify these in various types of networks.

Year 12 student covered Time Series Analysis, including mean-smoothing techniques and interpreting trends in real data sets for Unit 4 assessment preparation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for Economics struggled to finish assignment calculations and analysis, leaving sections incomplete. As one tutor observed, "she needs to go through the sources, complete analysis and the rest of the essay," which left her argument unsupported in drafts.

In Year 9 Mathematics, a student's messy handwriting and skipped mathematical signs ("+" or "–") made it hard to follow working out—mistakes weren't easily caught on review sheets.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling trigonometry hesitated to attempt harder questions without notes, slowing recall during timed practice. The unfinished work meant gaps lingered when new material was introduced.

Recent Achievements

A Carrara tutoring session saw one Year 11 student make a big leap in maths, moving from a 3/14 to an 11/14 on her latest exam after consistently recalling and applying tricky theory that used to trip her up.

In another high school example, a tutor noted how Sherisse now voices her questions openly during lessons instead of staying silent when confused—she's also begun organising her notes and homework much more methodically.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously hesitated with two-digit multiplication can now solve these problems quickly and accurately, even tackling long division independently by the end of the lesson.

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 Helensvale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Emmanuel College.
