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…

Modern History Tutor Redland Bay, QLD
Of course, a tutor is there for the student academically. However, the most important thing a tutor can provide is confidence in the students. Students who may not be achieving high marks might believe it reflects their self-worth. My job is to show them that it doesn't. As I'm currently a swim teacher, I have built the skills of patience,…

I believe a tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the role of…

Modern History Tutor Daisy Hill, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them recognise the improvements and progress they are making. From a psychological perspective intrinsic motivation is important but extrinsic validation is equally so in a learning environment. When small improvements are pointed out and celebrated it is not only a mindset shift but…

Modern History Tutor Eagleby, QLD
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them in becoming more confident in their ability to do the work in the subjects they need help in. I think my strengths as a tutor are such things as: my patience, my ability to understand what it’s like to struggle in class, my ability to explain things multiple ways, my…

Modern History Tutor Eagleby, QLD
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is to explain concepts, theories and course content in an easy to understand, and easy to recall way. So that the student can gain an understanding of the content, and the knowledge will be retained for future studies. I think the main reasons that people came to me for help in school was…

To keep them proficient, motivated, confident, engaged and disciplined in their subject. It is important to be enthusiastic about the subject too to maximise a student's interest in it. My helpful nature, my patience and my interest in the subject matter. I have recent experience in the subject matter and didn't finish school too long ago…

Be diligent and rigorous, making sure that they understand the fine details of what their are doing and why it is important, and not only just how to answer memorised questions. I am patient and persistent, and make sure that students understand everything in order to succeed in their subject. I am also knowledgeable in my specialty subjects as I…

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.
