Helping students to learn and progress in a way which suits their learning style and ways of thinking is an important thing tutors can do for students. If an english tutor can adapt to this I believe the student will learn both with more efficiency and more enjoyment. This enjoyment is also of great importance to help students come to a love of…

Listening to a student's main concerns/goals and having a plan are two of the most important things I believe an english tutor can do for a student. I believe it is crucial to an individual's learning experience if the tutor understands what they are struggling with, in order to come up with a plan that is tailored to their struggle. This is…

The utterly most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to listen and understand. To listen to them talk about where they need the extra help and why the believe they do not get the certain material, and to understand how they best learn. I believe that tutoring is beneficial to both parties as I am able to teach my students as…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student include creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment, offering clear and comprehensible explanations, and adapting teaching methods to fit the student's unique needs.

English Tutor Hobartville, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give him or her self-confidence. I believe that this is especially important for struggling students. A tutor must encourage students and provide them with the tools required for academic success. A student should enjoy tutoring sessions whilst consistently improving during them.…

English Tutor Hobartville, NSW
Tutors can help give students the foundational understanding and confidence needed to independently apply new skills. This can often make students appreciate or even enjoy subjects they may have previously thought were too difficult. I very much understand the importance of being patient and kind when tutoring. I am also a reliable person with a…

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sienna focused on the split and compensation strategies for addition and subtraction, as well as building confidence with multiplication tables.

In Year 9, Chitleen worked through essay writing using the PEEL structure and practiced analysing film techniques within her school texts.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Justin explored key film techniques in "Whale Rider" and refined his informative writing by identifying pivotal scenes and structuring clear paragraphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling algebra tended to avoid structuring written answers, as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors." This meant time was spent searching for mistakes instead of moving forward.

In Year 11 English, another student struggled to break down Macbeth's key concepts—her notes remained general and she hesitated to use language techniques, leading to bland essay drafts.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner repeatedly left homework incomplete and would procrastinate on assignments; missed deadlines made it hard to build on skills week-to-week or get the feedback needed before new topics began.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tennyson noticed one Year 11 student, previously hesitant to tackle simultaneous equations, now confidently solves them on her own and even double-checks her answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 English student who used to struggle with planning essays has started asking for feedback mid-draft and voluntarily revises her introductions before moving on.

In primary school, another student who found it difficult to express ideas in writing is now drafting stories more quickly and recently described a character's feelings using details from both books and his own life—something he hadn't attempted before.

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