I consider self belief and self motivation are the most important skills a tutor can instill in a student I believe my strength as a tutor revolve around the fact I am a hardworking, patient, self motivated high school teacher who loves the satisfaction of an excellent result. However my weakness as a tutor would be that I like to spend a little…

It's important for a tutor to be able to provide a positive and safe learning environment for their students, where the focus is upon developing useful skills and knowledge rather than being limited by specific content. My strengths would be that I am very patient, sensitive and sympathetic, and I would definitely be able to make my students feel…

English Tutor Underwood, QLD
Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them. Some of my strengths would…

It is highly important for a tutor to listen and more specifically identify gaps and concerns that a student is having in a particular area. I believe that my strengths are that I have developed strong communication skills over the course of my employment and my university studies. I studied Board English at highschool and maintained high grades…

English Tutor Calamvale, QLD
It is very important for me as tutor to ensure that a student do not feel demotivated. This begins with creating a safe learning environment and ensuring that they will not feel pressured for making mistakes, as mistakes are part of the learning process. When a student struggles with a problem, it is important to be patient and commit to ensuring…

Firstly to help them understand something that they may be scared or ashamed of not knowing. Also, to help teach special small techniques to quicken solutions.

Being respectful is one of the best ways to connect with a student, and allows students room to speak up about any issues they are having. Having good management skills will ensure students are taught with well prepared content, and also be heared with appropriate after class learning material to prepare for the next lesson. Very good…

The most important thing will be to help the student find his/her interest in the subject. If they don't believe they can do it or that what they're learning is actually beneficial, they're only ever going to treat it as something they have to do. It'll be difficult for them to reach their potential in the subject. My strengths would be ability to…

Create a comfortable, secure environment in their sessions by praising students for effort and engagement rather than correctness. Tutor's should not just tell students whether they are correct or incorrect, but explain why. They must analyse a students working towards the solution to determine exactly where they are lacking in understanding and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be committed to them and to learn the way in which the student understands concepts. By doing this, a tutor can teach the students in a way that ensure the best possibility for success and growth. For me, tutoring is 100% about the student's growth, and as such, fully understanding the…

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…

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…

Monique is a quiet tutor that suited my daughter. Monique took the time to build a relationship with my daughter building her confidence to ask questions she did not understand with her year 4 maths. Now Monique can see where Tayha needs support she has set tasks for her in these areas. I am very happy with the tutoring provided and can recommend Monique to other parents looking at tutoring for their child. Lyndel

Inside Slacks CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Mia worked on distinguishing rational and irrational numbers and practiced converting percentages, using visual aids to support understanding.

Year 11 student Jack focused on managing money by completing a tax return and revised for an exam covering time and motion problems.

Another Year 11 student, Sarah, tackled problem-solving with graphs for her PSMT assessment in Essential Mathematics and reviewed key skills in representing data visually.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student often forgot which formulas to use and hesitated to attempt questions without reassurance, as described: "she always looks up at me for confirmation before working independently." This self-doubt slowed her progress and left methods unfinished.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student's exam revision showed an over-reliance on notes—he referred constantly to his cheat sheet rather than recalling processes from memory.

In a Year 7 English report task, another struggled with structuring paragraphs and fixing grammar; messy drafts made feedback hard to apply.

Confidence gaps and lack of practice in core routines repeatedly led to incomplete work or missed opportunities for improvement.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Slacks Creek recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to leave assignments until the last minute now actively worked through each section of his assessment ahead of the deadline, asking for guidance only when stuck instead of waiting passively.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student who'd previously been hesitant about seeking help started openly requesting clarification on tax calculations during Managing Money lessons and confidently solved each step independently by the end.

In Year 5, one student who often rushed through maths tasks slowed down to check her answers and even requested extra practice questions at the lesson's close.

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 Logan Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mabel Park State High School.
