English Tutor Faulconbridge, NSW
I believe the most important role an english tutor plays is to establish a friendly relationship with the student. This makes learning more engaging and achievable. My previous tutoring experience has shown me that students learn best when they are engaged more personally. For example, relating concepts to the hobbies of a student allows them to…

Support young people in their individual approach to encourage self-understanding, self-awareness and self-belief. Quite recently, I was diagnosed with a disorder which affects how I process information. I didn't know this going through adolescence, but I remember the struggle and feeling limited in what was/wasn't achievable. It's important to…

Explain concepts to students that they do not understand. Fill in the gaps that they have not been able to grasp at school in the classroom. By explaining topics and concepts to the students they obtain confidence and that in turn enhances their ability to progress in the subject they are experiencing difficulty in. Tutoring is the bridge to…

I believe the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to be friendly and make sure they feel welcome. It's also important to make sure the student is understanding the content and if they aren't to reiterate the points or try to teach them in another way. My strengths as a tutor are that I am highly organised and prepared,…

The most important thing for an english tutor to do is to make sure the student can feel confident, making the subject enjoyable to learn, rather than stressful and disheartening. I try to understand what part they are struggling with, so I can help them understand, rather than learn rote answers. So this means I'm patient, and a good…

I can be there for a student and reassure them that human brains are sometimes complicated but once you take down the barriers to learning, then you can really take off. It's alright to be confused, it's a sign you're thinking. You're almost there, and if we talk about it and try some simpler examples, then it will all fall into place. Since 2019…

For me, the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to set aside the necessary time and effort aside for each session. This is vital when helping the student to maintain their motivation and dedication to their work. Time management and the ability to plan each session; (some students may find it difficult to sort out for…

I think it's important for an english tutor to understand their students educational needs and to help them learn how to apply themselves in the most effective way. The student should be happy with their education and the way their progressing in their subjects. The students need to feel comfortable enough with their tutor to ask for help, and…

To bring students to the truth, help them critically think, give them confidence in their personhood and to plant a real desire and love for learning. I'm good at analogies and explaining things in different ways depending on whom I'm speaking with. I'm also of a relaxed personality and so won't put unnecessary pressures on the…

Inside FaulconbridgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily worked on reading fluency and letter formation in English, alongside practising counting exercises using a workbook for Maths.

In Year 9, Alexia revised multiplying and dividing algebraic equations and focused on simplifying these expressions through targeted worksheets to prepare for an upcoming test.

For Year 10, Daniel explored Financial Maths by calculating tax, the Medicare levy, taxable income, and tax refunds using real-life examples from past exam papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left working steps out in financial maths questions—she skipped showing steps for tax and Medicare levy, which made it hard to spot calculation slips.

In a Year 8 algebra session, another student didn't review previous feedback before starting homework; errors with negative signs and method choice persisted across tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student avoided sounding out unfamiliar words during reading practice, hesitating when spelling new vocabulary aloud. The result: time spent correcting recurring mistakes or circling back to basics instead of building confidence on new material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Faulconbridge recently noticed some great shifts among students. In Year 11, Isabelle had previously been hesitant with new measurement formulas, but after patient practice she began tackling perimeter and area questions for shapes like trapeziums and cylinders with much less guidance, getting more answers right each session.

Tariq, a high schooler who needed help remembering how to convert fractions and decimals into percentages, is now working through these calculations with increasing independence—he even chose the correct method on his own during a recent lesson.

Meanwhile, Lillian in primary has started spelling every word on her weekly list correctly after struggling earlier in the term; she finished her last spelling test without any errors.

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 Blue Mountains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Springwood High School.
