English Tutor Leura, NSW
Firstly, an english tutor can help students identify their weaknesses and then provide skills and strategies to overcome them. Secondly, it is important that the teacher instil self-confidence in the students, assuring them that they can experience success. I develop good relationships with my students and, I feel, they know that I can be trusted…

English Tutor Leura, NSW
Some of the most important things an english tutor can do is: create a positive and productive learning environment, provide strategies for critical thinking, and bring awareness to overall concepts of learning instead of focusing on a single assignment or test to foster ongoing success. I am patient and approachable. I want students to feel…

English Tutor Leura, NSW
Be supportive and encouraging. Be flexible and willing to meet the student where they are at. I think it's good to be able to explain concepts in multiple ways and have a genuine passion for the subject at hand as this can be motivating for the student I am fairly knowledgeable and very patient with people. I have some experience interacting one…

English Tutor Bullaburra, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is provide a unique way to view and understand a problem when the initial approach is confusing the student. I think viewing problems alternatively can really assist light-bulb moments of understanding, because I believe one explanation can never work for everyone. I think I’m articulate…

Helping students expand their knowledge and understanding around a topic is a given in tutoring as that is what students are coming to see tutors in the first instance. However, I believe that as someone with great knowledge and wisdom, an english tutor also has a responsibility to help students acquire the skills to grow and learn. I think a key…

Inside LeuraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava revised area and perimeter of circles and composite shapes, then practiced calculating surface area for prisms.

Year 8 student Felix focused on identifying strengths from a past assignment, followed by an introduction to basic algebra and reviewing powers.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Nicole worked through rational and irrational numbers—including converting decimals to fractions—and in English explored commonly misspelled word endings like "ent" and "ant," as well as the difference between "a lot" and "allot."

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to keep her maths book organised, often leaving out written working when tackling multi-step algebra questions; as a tutor noted, "showing working needs to become more of a habit." This made it harder for her to spot small sign errors and slowed down revision.

In Year 11 Financial Maths, one student missed a test due to poor engagement with online school and had difficulty using formulas without access to reliable materials.

Meanwhile, in Year 5, another child guessed at answers in shape identification tasks rather than applying mathematical reasoning, leading to repeated confusion between rhombuses and trapeziums during homework.

Recent Achievements

One Leura tutor noticed a real shift in Tahlia's approach: she came prepared with her own mind maps and targeted questions, and after struggling with the control of ovarian cycle hormones, was able to quickly explain how recombinant DNA is generated.

In Year 10, Nicole had previously hesitated to ask for help but now regularly checks her understanding during sessions—last week, she used teacher feedback to pinpoint errors in algebraic equations and could independently correct them.

Meanwhile, Lyla (Year 6) showed new persistence by reviewing her mistakes in probability problems and explaining her reasoning out loud before moving on.

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 Katoomba Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Leura Public School.
