I think it is a tutor's job to make the subject fun for the kid and make them love the subject, not develop a hate for it. I used to hate chemistry back in highschool and found it very hard until I found a tutor who made me understand it and I eventually started to love the subject. I ended up getting an A* in the subject. I would want to follow…

Local Reviews
Inside Mount Gravatt EastTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Petra worked on drafting a short story for an upcoming English assessment and practiced integer calculations, focusing on accuracy.
Year 9 student Mia focused on algebraic substitution by working through school quiz problems and also revised key skills in solving equations.
For Year 10, Jay tackled log laws and long division, rounding out the session with targeted algebra revision to address areas identified in recent classwork.
Recent Challenges
In Year 9 Maths, a student missed several homework tasks and did not bring the required workbook ("Homework book was not bought"), which limited practice with algebraic questions.
In Year 11 English, another student needed repeated reminders to proofread essays and struggled with sentence structure; as one tutor observed, "Her sentence and paragraph construction needs to be improved."
For a Year 7 Maths learner, over-reliance on calculators during percentage conversions led to errors in tests.
When written solutions in Year 10 Maths lacked step-by-step justification, sign errors crept in unnoticed—making it harder to spot misunderstandings during review.
Recent Achievements
A Mount Gravatt East tutor noticed a big change in one Year 11 student who, after struggling with complex problem-solving, now confidently analyses and solves multi-step maths questions without hesitation.
In Year 9 English, another student went from submitting rough drafts full of tense errors to producing a well-structured essay draft with only minor grammatical mistakes—she now proofreads her work before handing it in.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who used to avoid tricky fraction problems has begun tackling them head-on and even checks her answers for accuracy before moving on.

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 Mount Gravatt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Queensland Pathways State College - Mt Gravatt Campus.
