English Tutor Capalaba, QLD
The most important thing an english 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…

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

Making sure that the student is understanding what the tutor is explaining and keeping the student motivated, as there isn't much use of a student being tutored if they cannot understand or if they are not motivated. I am able to explain things in a way that are easy to understand, I help the student stay out of frustration and help them approach…

English Tutor Shailer Park, QLD
It is pivotal that the tutor is always easily approachable as otherwise shy students may be reluctant to ask the tutor questions and thus those shy kids may end up falling behind. In addition, I feel that tutors must always be supportive towards the student as any harsh or negative comments may severely hinder a students willingness and ability to…

Electra is a Miracle Tutor! I have a very difficult, stubborn 16year old boy. Electra, somehow , got inside his head and now my 16year old is trying to improve. He is finally making an effort in a subject that he couldn't care less about, but is a core subject! I'm so very impressed by Electras Skill!

Inside Mount CottonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella worked on understanding the order of operations (BIDMAS) and identifying rational versus irrational numbers.

In Year 10, Taylor practiced expanding algebraic expressions and rearranging equations using both worksheets and textbook problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jakob focused on financial mathematics by reviewing annuities and loan repayments through targeted practice questions from a General Maths worksheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for a General Maths test relied heavily on notes during revision, as observed in "revision before the test would be done without notes." This made it difficult to recall key steps independently.

In Year 9 algebra, another student skipped working out and showed only final answers—"requires more working out for question solution"—which meant sign errors went unnoticed until checking time.

Meanwhile, a senior student tackling annuities questions missed subtle mistakes in written work, leading to repeated confusion when reviewing past sessions.

During primary multiplication drills, one child continued counting on fingers instead of practicing mental recall; this slowed progress and made multi-step problems daunting.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Cotton noticed that a Year 11 student, who previously needed regular prompts to show working out, has started writing each step for her solutions—a shift that's crucial for gaining marks on written exams.

In another session, a Year 12 student chose to tackle past exam papers independently and now works through most questions solo, only checking notes when truly stuck.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated with basic addition is not only completing sums faster but now chooses to play math games independently that involve new multiplication skills without waiting for help.

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 Victoria Point Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Cotton State School.
