I believe the most important role of an english tutor is to be understanding and to identify the root cause of a student’s struggles, building their learning from that foundation and gradually guiding them to a point where they feel confident and comfortable with the subject. I believe my strength in tutoring lies in developing creative and…

My goal as an english tutor is not to "teach" a subject; my goal is to help the student learn how to study and find their own path so that they can do it on their own without needing a tutor in the future. My main objective is for my students to eventually no longer need me. I always encourage my students to think about what they are learning, why…

I think the most crucial part of any tutoring experience is to make sure that the student knows that the tutor is there for them and will not get frustrated if mess something up. If the tutor comes off as condescending or annoyed at a lack of progress, it can allow the student to put added pressure on him/herself or create an aversion to learning…

Among the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is that a tutor must be able to understand a student's learning style so that the student would be able to learn the material in a way that is analogous to their mode of synthesising knowledge. A tutor must do this all the while being open and kind and most especially warm…

Help them to understand that they can learn. That they understand that teaching is one aspect of the education process and the other is learning. That all students have the capacity to learn especially if the teacher is prepared to apply their best effort to offering those students a way to understand the information. This can be assisted if both…

At face value, the most important thing is of course getting good results itself. That is the intent and purpose of the tutor.

First and foremost, an english tutor is like a friend- one who wishes well and progress, and tries to understand without any judgement. Hence a tutor should feel like a safe space- free of any shame- where the child can ask queries and gain knowledge from. I'd say that being able to empathize with the student and to be able to find relatable…

A tutor’s first responsibility is to build a student’s confidence. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they doubt themselves. By offering encouragement, celebrating progress, and reassuring them that mistakes are part of learning, an english tutor can help replace fear with self-belief. Confidence often becomes…

Personal relationships are vitally important to student success because the more connected a student feels to his tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, which are essential ingredients for…

Change their relationship with studies. Education should never feel like a chore. It can be fun and invigorating.

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction. Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what an english tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as an english tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

Inside BarangarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Ava focused on advanced trigonometry by reviewing her recent test and then moved on to polynomials, tackling chapter exercises and logs.

Year 10 student Tom worked through several lessons on quadratics and linear relations, with sessions dedicated to solving worded problems using algebraic methods.

For a Year 3 primary student, time was spent practising addition and subtraction strategies as well as developing reading comprehension skills through short passages.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student repeatedly avoided writing full working for rearranging equations—"she said, 'I just get stuck at the start,' and would hesitate to begin unless prompted."

In a senior English assignment, another left their TEEL structure incomplete and was reluctant to link arguments back to topic sentences, resulting in an unfinished draft.

A Year 11 student struggled with domain and range because revision focused only on familiar problems rather than tackling new question types; this left them underprepared for tests requiring flexible thinking.

After setbacks, confidence dropped sharply and questions went unasked, making progress slower than expected.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barangaroo recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, started tackling circle geometry questions on her own and now attempts problems independently before asking for help.

In a Year 12 session, Martina made real progress—she stopped relying on example solutions and now remembers formulas well enough to solve algebraic fraction questions without prompts.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously stumbled over reading tasks managed to read an entire short paragraph aloud and explain its meaning without assistance.

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 Customs House Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Fort Street Public School.
