English Tutor Carina Heights, QLD
Teaching should be done flexibly, catering to each individuals as all students are different in their approach to learning and the time it takes to grasp each topics. I have also learnt that students often find themselves too afraid to ask questions and as a tutor I must be patient in ensuring that a student understands each questions before…

The most important thing is to be patient and to be a good listener - understanding that what may be easy to you might not be easy to the student, and to offer various techniques that will help the student's understanding. A tutor should also be honest, and should admit when they do not know a certain topic. This would help to build trust…

Be approachable and pay attention. It's very hard to put your own worldview aside when it comes to knowledge, and many people are likely not even cognisant of that, but you need to understand that you know things that the child doesn't even know what they don't know. I make learning a bit more laid back and approachable. My strength is in relating…

I think a tutor can give a student confidence, that a student doesn't need to be intimidated by a STEM class. The general attitude that these subject are 'too hard' or that a student 'will never use these skills again' sets up bright students for failure before they even set foot in a classroom. The most important thing a tutor can do is boost a…

And also make them feel confident in their abilities as well as teaching them a new confidence of autonomy when it comes to…

Em got a B last term and we're very happy with it.
Karen, Holland Park West

Inside Holland ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student William practised converting between improper and proper fractions and worked on adding and subtracting fractions through targeted word problems.

In Year 11, Mia focused on solving exponential equations and modelling real-world situations using logarithmic scales, including pH and Richter scale questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James refined his understanding of Kepler's Laws by tackling complex orbital calculations and also solved challenging incline plane and pulley physics problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on algebra and logs relied heavily on the calculator's "SolveN(" function, as noted: "Can't always rely on the calculator to solve it for you." This made it harder to check algebraic steps and spot errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student forgot to show squared terms when applying Pythagoras' theorem, which led to mistakes before taking square roots.

For a Year 5 student, difficulties with times tables meant basic addition was often done mentally but not written out, so explanations were unclear. In these moments, answers looked right—until small gaps derailed the whole solution.

Recent Achievements

One Holland Park tutor noticed Colin, a Year 12 student, is now tackling complex calculus questions with much less prompting—he recently solved exponential power functions independently after struggling to recall which formulas to use in earlier sessions.

In a physics lesson, another high schooler not only completed her worksheet without assistance but also corrected her own mistakes when prompted—a big change from previously waiting for help.

Meanwhile, Liz in Year 7 came prepared with topic sentences already drafted for her English assignment, showing new initiative and organisation that wasn't there before.

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 Holland Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cavendish Road State High School.
