English Tutor Avondale, NSW
A tutor has to be able to not only teach them content but able to support students on an emotional and cognitive level as they progress through a subject/s that they may not like or are uncomfortable with as they have had bad memories of the subject. As an english tutor, it's integral that we can offer a holistic, effective approach to tutoring in…

English Tutor Calderwood, NSW
The most important things an english tutor can do for the student is to really get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the student. In identifying the strengths you can use these to help improve the weaker areas of learning. My strengths are being a patient and well resourced tutor. I’m finishing hsc last year I am up to date with knowledge…

English Tutor Dapto, NSW
There are many important things that can be listed but my top things would be building confidence and promoting independence and understanding. A tutor should create a safe, supportive space where mistakes are okay and effort is celebrated. I am highly patient and try to break concepts down into simpler terms and action steps. I’ll never get…

Build their confidence and show them that they can exprience success. So many students who struggle think something is wrong with them, however some students just need more time to learn and more practise with certain concepts. Showing many ways to work out answers and to learn is important too because no two students are the same. I am…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be open to other methods and understanding that everyone is unique in the areas they struggle with and everyone's solutions to this are unique as well. Being patient with students allows them to work at a pace they feel comfortable with, this will allow them to find enjoyment…

As someone who has personally had an english tutor in recent years, I understand the most important things a tutor can do for a student is being patient and understanding. Being able to adapt learning styles and being flexible with each child's different pace, is an important aspect of tutoring. I will put in lots of hard work to constantly…

Inside AvondaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophia worked on strengthening her multiplication and subtraction skills, as well as reading time and handling simple data questions using visual examples.

For Year 9, Cailyn practised combining operations with fractions—including division and subtraction—and then applied these to algebraic substitutions with decimal numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas reviewed financial mathematics by tackling problems involving deposits and simple interest, followed by practice with real-life scenarios like vehicle registration fees.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was hesitant to show working when tackling algebra, often saying "I can do this in my head," but hidden sign errors crept in, slowing progress.

In Year 8 maths, one learner relied heavily on calculators for fractions and area conversions; this masked gaps in understanding unit changes and formatting answers.

Another senior student showed difficulty recalling linear equation rules between lessons—without regular review or written notes, the same mistakes resurfaced.

For a Year 7 class, untidy setting out and skipping steps during substitution led to confusion over negatives. This meant precious time was lost correcting old errors rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Avondale tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Daniel, shift from hesitating over tax instalment questions to independently reworking problems until he got them right—he'd previously needed constant prompting.

Meanwhile, Chelsea in Year 10 had struggled with index laws but now applies them confidently across multiplication, division, and brackets without reminders.

A younger student, Mia, who used to get frustrated and avoid tough subtraction problems, recently stuck with a challenging question until she solved it and then asked for more practice.

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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
