I believe that some of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are giving them confidence, catering to their individual learning style, and giving them every chance to succeed. These three things work closely together as if you cater to what an individual student exactly needs, that will eventual give them confidence in…

The most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to participate in class activities outside of the tutoring session. My most valued moments of tutoring my maths student are when she came back to a session and told me that she participated in class discussions and answered questions in class. I…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it…

English Tutor Wellington Point, QLD
The most important thing for an english tutor to do is inspire self-believe and uncover topics that may become a passion for children. From this, tutors should foster a willingness to develop the child's skills and even potentially find a career path or tertiary education option within a specific area. My willingness to listen and respond calmly…

Make them interested in the content. The students won't want to learn unless they care about the content and while grades are good motivators, pure enjoyment and interest in a subject make it easier to learn. I can teach a varied range of subjects but can quickly adjust to each individual students needs. I try to find an approach that the student…

Making sure that the student is understanding what the tutor is explaining and keeping the student motivated, as there isn't much use of a student being tutored if they cannot understand or if they are not motivated.

Inside ClevelandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ethan focused on solving linear equations and practiced index laws, including some work with statistics concepts like mean and median.

In Year 10, Chloe tackled algebraic techniques for simplifying expressions and reviewed simultaneous linear equations, building confidence by working through exam-style questions.

For Year 11, Jack concentrated on calculus fundamentals—specifically integration and differentiation—and explored the application of z-scores in statistical analysis using sample exam problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student missed and failed an exam due to not attending, reflecting ongoing organization challenges; as one tutor observed, "he did not know what his upcoming assignment is."

In Year 11 English, reluctance to engage—wanting only the 'bare minimum'—meant tasks were left incomplete and feedback from teachers was often ignored.

A Year 8 student avoided writing answers if unsure they were correct, which slowed progress in algebra.

Meanwhile, a primary student frequently left homework unfinished and struggled with messy written work during spelling activities.

Moments like these led to confusion, missed deadlines, and growing frustration with school routines.

Recent Achievements

One Cleveland tutor noticed a Year 12 student who had previously been quiet now openly discussing his strengths and weaknesses during English sessions, showing real self-reflection for the first time.

In a recent high school maths lesson, another student tackled increasingly complex problems independently, building on earlier struggles with multi-step questions and even justifying his answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student demonstrated new initiative by actively participating in lessons and recalling previous concepts unprompted—something she hesitated to do before. At the end of one session, she chose to attempt an extra question on her own.

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