English Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

A tutor in my perspective must be flexible and must be willing to offer any form of support, I.e. helping solve problems, explain concepts in detail, clear misconceptions, etc. Also it is important always maintains a positive attitude and encourages students to learn more. I also think an english tutor should be able to provide their students with…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

The most important thing an english tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on…

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

Local Reviews

Nathan was finding physics as a difficult subject but ever since we started tutoring with Rishi it has made a positive difference. Rishi is extremely committed and dedicated and we are looking to continue tutoring with Rishi for next year.

Inside AlisonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Simran worked on solving simultaneous equations and deepened understanding of algebra principles and inequalities, practicing both graphical and algebraic methods.

In Year 10, Emily focused on financial maths by calculating interest amounts and exploring how time periods affect rates of interest.

Meanwhile, Year 4 Ruby built confidence with long addition involving large numbers, as well as recognising the place value of units, tens, hundreds, and thousands within multi-digit numbers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in Alison tends to forget the steps after eagerly doing them, as a tutor observed, and often leaves working unclear, making it harder to review errors—especially in algebraic fractions.

In Year 8 maths, confusion between indices and multiplication has led to repeated mistakes (He is often found confusing indices and multiplication).

A Year 4 learner struggled with focus during fractions work; distractions made multi-step problems more challenging.

For a senior student tackling inequalities, incomplete coverage due to time management meant core revision topics were left unfinished.

The pattern: missing written steps or rushing leads to shaky recall later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Alison noticed a big change in Josh, a high school student who had previously struggled with algebra—he now solves simultaneous equations independently using substitution and even identified where he was getting stuck before.

Another high schooler, Lincoln, moved from relying on prompts to independently tackling area problems during sessions.

Meanwhile, Ruby in Year 3 surprised her tutor by figuring out why the order of numbers doesn't affect multiplication results—a breakthrough with times tables after she'd been hesitant about them. Last session ended with Ruby confidently multiplying three numbers together without needing any hints.

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 Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wyong Christian Community School.
