Understand their individual circumstances. Some students seek tutoring in order to excel, whilst others may need assistance in a subject they are struggling to pass. I believe an english tutor needs to know their students well enough to understand their personal goals, their preferred methods of learning (eg. some students may require diagrams to…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to help them see their academic potential and develop a love of learning. It is crucial as students go through schooling to see the benefits of learning and develop a strong work ethic. I believe all children learn at an individual pace and that it is critical to have…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to listen to them to gauge their level of knowledge and interest in a subject, then to offer motivation and positive reinforcement. This gives the student the confidence to help 'drive' the learning process, with the tutor guiding that process by offering information, skills and…

First and foremost it would be building a strong rapport with the student and gaining mutual trust and respect. This builds a foundation of confidence and comfort which optimises a students ability to learn and their attitude towards learning. Tutors should be adaptable and be able to target the teaching to each students unique way of learning. …

I think that, as I said earlier, building confidence is an important thing, so that students can be self-sufficient. I also think that when they take pride in their work, they can achieve beyond their own expectations. I have a lot of experience in coaching children in soccer (aged 2-12) and I also have two sisters aged 7 and 17. I think that…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to encourage the individual to be more confident in their own abilities.

A tutor does not just teach a student a particular subject.

A good tutor can give a student motivation and techniques to achieve not only in the tutored subject,…

Teach a concept, ensure the student can understand it, and eventually get to the point where they can apply that concept to a question, without any help. As a tutor, I also have a duty of care to ensure a student can manage their workload, rather than worrying 24/7. My strengths as a tutor are my communication/people skills, my knowledge in the…

Local Reviews

Our daughter Meg has been struggling with multiplication and generally not interested in math at all. Since Angela has been tutoring Meg (for a few weeks now) we have seen a huge improvement in her math. Angela has a very gentle, friendly and patient approach in the way she teaches and puts a lot of thought and effort into her work i.e. she brings along many props. a white board, worksheets and visuals to make it easier for Meg to learn different strategies. Meg thinks she's great and really enjoys her lessons. Meg is also doing much better at school to. Angela is amazing at what she does and we couldn't be happier! We definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor.

Inside PalmyraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 Abbi focused on factorising and simplifying algebraic expressions, then moved on to solving quadratic equations using methods like completing the square and the quadratic formula.

Year 9 Isabel worked through trigonometry problems and revised for exams by tackling practice questions involving parabolas, simultaneous equations, and rationalising surds.

Meanwhile, Year 4 Jimmy practiced rounding numbers using number lines for visualization, completed long division challenges, and reinforced essay writing skills by drafting structured body paragraphs together.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, Isabel often skipped working steps and rushed through long equations, leading to small errors: "She tends to solve things the 'hard' way without stopping and thinking about the best method." This cost marks in algebra and turning point problems.

For Year 10 Maths, Abbi struggled with worded quadratic questions—she found it difficult to extract key information and convert it into equations, especially after longer breaks from practice.

In Year 5 English, Jimmy's highlighting was unfocused; when asked to find important words in a passage, he highlighted almost everything, making reading slow and overwhelming.

Recent Achievements

One Palmyra tutor noticed Isabel's steady shift towards independence in Year 10 maths: after struggling with worded problems, she recently scored 81% on her exam—up from 60%—and now tackles most application questions solo.

In a recent session, Abbi (Year 11) moved from needing help to solving standard quadratic equations entirely on her own, even showing initiative by attempting harder simultaneous equation tasks without prompting.

Meanwhile, Jimmy (Year 4) made a leap in essay writing; he previously needed step-by-step guidance but managed to complete a full body paragraph himself for the first time.

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 AH Bracks Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richmond Primary School.
