A tutor can first start by welcoming their student and getting to know them in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. This will make it easier for the tutor to better understand the student, but also easier for the student to freely ask questions. As well as holding the ability to teach, an english tutor must have patience. Being a…

Developing that sense of confidence and comfort is a key component to tutoring. I believe my strengths are that I am adaptable to the…

The most important thing as an english tutor, in my opinion, isn't to make them get good grades or to achieve high scores, but make them feel like they are improving everyday and making them feel a sense of accomplishment when they feel like they’ve truly learnt and understood something. I hope to make sure they are able to truly enjoy learning…

By also validating their strengths and identifying their self-limiting beliefs, I…

Inside BelgraveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on multiplying multi-digit numbers and practiced adding and subtracting fractions, with some time spent reading 24-hour time.

Year 11 student Isaac worked through scene analysis from The Princess Bride, identifying cinematic devices, and also tackled political cartoon analysis for English argument tasks.

Another Year 11 lesson involved reviewing General Maths finance topics using past exam questions and practicing use of the finance solver to build confidence for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, one student often wrote answers that were difficult to follow due to unclear structure; as noted, "she needs to be more clear in the way she structures her answer in order for the teacher to be able to locate her answers more easily."

A Year 11 student avoided attempting harder maths questions, instead repeating familiar ones, which meant less exposure to new concepts before tests.

In Year 7, a student's handwriting was hard to read and spelling errors slowed essay completion—this made editing drafts challenging and reduced confidence during class discussions.

Recent Achievements

One Belgrave tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously second-guessing herself on essay structure, now drafts clear paragraphs and confidently revises her own work—she even caught and fixed an error in her latest piece without prompting.

In another session, a Year 8 student who used to wait for hints is now tackling maths homework independently, finishing nearly every question before the lesson ended.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student surprised his tutor by volunteering to read aloud for the first time instead of shying away from it.

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 Belgrave Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas More's School.
