For me, it's super important for an english tutor to keep the lesson interactive and somewhat interesting, as interest fuels motivation. However, it's important not to forget that repetition is key in learning and retaining information. Certain math concepts need to be repeated to engrain into memory. Essays and writing styles have to be written…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can provide a student with is the confidence in themselves that is needed to accomplish what they dream. By explaining things in a way which makes sense to each individual student they are equipped with the tools they require to get where they want to be in life. My ability to explain concepts in…

The most important thing an english tutor can do is listen to their student and work out the most appropriate way to help them. Not all students learn the same way, and it is integral to make learning desirable and achievable through modifying language used, providing appropriate examples and supporting students to feel confident.

I believe that an english tutor should instil a positive mindset to learning in each student, by encouraging them to challenge themselves, be persistent, and know that making mistakes is a part of learning. I also feel that a tutor should teach their students practical strategies and skills that students can learn to use independently. This way,…

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

I believe that the purpose of an english tutor is to tailor their teaching as closely as possible to the needs of every individual student; tutors should never take a one-size fits all approach to teaching. Whether that be addressing specific areas of weakness, or adopting a particular teaching style, every student has their own unique needs and…

It is pivotal that the tutor is always easily approachable as otherwise shy students may be reluctant to ask the tutor questions and thus those shy kids may end up falling behind. In addition, I feel that tutors must always be supportive towards the student as any harsh or negative comments may severely hinder a students willingness and ability to…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

Inside Waterford WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucas focused on arithmetic with negative numbers and mastered order of operations through targeted problem sets.

For Year 8, Zane practiced solving equations involving algebra and explored Venn diagrams to understand set relationships visually.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Gurnoor covered key concepts around surds, rational and irrational numbers, as well as significant figures, revisiting recent test material for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student did not complete assigned maths homework and, when asked, claimed it was done—yet division questions in the warm-up remained a challenge.

In Year 10 algebra, he's very good at solving questions but we're working on making sure he shows all the steps, as skipping working made it hard to catch sign errors.

For a senior student tackling logarithms, there was frequent checking of notes before each attempt rather than recalling rules independently.

Meanwhile, one primary student struggled to stay focused during online lessons; distraction meant less content covered and basic skills (like subtraction) remained shaky.

Recent Achievements

One Waterford West tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after struggling with algebraic working out, now talks through his problem-solving steps aloud—something he used to avoid—and shows clearer reasoning on paper.

Another high schooler began actively asking for help instead of guessing when stuck, which let him tackle mean and median questions with much less prompting than before.

For a younger student, mental maths practice is paying off: she's started adding and subtracting up to thousands using regrouping methods, needing fewer reminders and finishing her written problems more independently each session.

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