Claudia

English Tutor Maudsland, QLD
Help a student to believe in themselves academically and give them the confidence to approach any problem even if they don't immediately know the solution. I am very patient, understanding, empathetic and resourceful. I try to explain a concept in a way that I think would be easiest for the person to understand and simplify it before adding on…

I was extremely happy with Brian's tutoring of our children. His demeanour is really calm and my children really warmed to him.

Inside Tamborine MountainTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel revised the six index laws and practiced applying negative indices and surds, then moved on to linear equations including finding gradients from graphs and using elimination for simultaneous equations.

Year 10 student Mani worked on quadratic equations by factorising and using the quadratic formula, followed by revision of internal diagonal lengths in 3D shapes and area calculations for exam preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Waimania tackled balancing double and single replacement chemistry equations and completed worded maths problems involving angles of elevation and unit circle concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing a science assignment struggled to "write down any observations we make about the graphs," making later report writing less effective.

In Year 12, not starting reports early led to missing key information in rationales, with one tutor noting the student "should begin her report sooner and include more relevant information."

For a Year 8 algebra lesson, skipping steps when rearranging equations hid sign errors—"sometimes does not fully understand or read the question so gets confused easily."

Meanwhile, a primary student left homework incomplete and needs to memorize times tables for fluency before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Tamborine Mountain tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with bearing problems and assignment planning is now tackling her maths assignments earlier and proactively asking her teacher for clarification before lessons, reducing last-minute stress.

In Year 10 science, another student who used to make small errors when identifying cations and anions has shown a real turnaround—now recalling these accurately and checking if equations are balanced without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who was hesitant to ask for help now confidently signals when she doesn't understand something instead of staying silent.

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 Tamborine Mountain Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tamborine Mountain State School.
