English Tutor Woongarrah, NSW
I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

English Tutor Lake Haven, NSW
The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

English Tutor Woongarrah, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

Inside Bushells RidgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aryan worked on simplifying fractions and converting them to decimals, as well as tackling algebraic expressions through addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

For Year 9, Zara practiced solving linear equations and plotting graphs for both linear and non-linear relationships using real examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel focused on mastering arithmetic series and sequences before moving into geometric series calculations in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student faced challenges organizing working for algebraic multiplication, often skipping layout steps; as one tutor put it, "he skipped showing steps in brackets, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 physics, another student avoided writing full working for centripetal force questions, relying instead on mental calculation and missing units—this left gaps when revising.

For a Year 5 learner practicing times tables, messy written work led to confusion with division facts.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student in trigonometry hesitated to attempt problems independently after struggling with negative powers, which slowed confidence-building during revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bushells Ridge noticed a real shift with a Year 9 student who, after weeks of hesitating to attempt equations without guidance, confidently solved for unknown variables step by step on her own this session.

Meanwhile, a senior high schooler who used to struggle with applying formulas independently was able to complete practical standard deviation calculations with only minimal prompting, showing much greater initiative than before.

In Year 4 maths, one student—who previously guessed when stuck—now stops to ask clarifying questions before tackling word problems and then solves them accurately.

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 Lake Haven Library & Council Services—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Haven Public School.
