As mentioned above, it is extremely important for tutors to enjoy the content they are teaching. These attitudes are projected onto the willingness of students to engage with the subject. In addition to this, it is important for tutors to create and maintain relationships with their students that emulate trust and belief in their abilities. A…

I believe an english tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their…

Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

I think close support and motivation especially during their examinations is crucial. Making the student sharp by regular homework/assignments and making them fall in love with the subject and eventually learning are very important in my opinion. Identifying students strengths/passion and grooming them is another very imperative factor. I think…

Being available for your students is the most significant thing any tutor can do. Just being available alone is not the thing, you must also be able to communicate with them in order to understand where they are facing difficulties while learning. Understand their problems and provide the best solution for them to catch things better. A single…

The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is listen to their needs, because it is evident in a classroom when a teacher doesn't know how to teach by the way they address the problem. Different people need the same issue explained in various ways, and so it is extremely important to have a great depth of understanding in order to…

Personally, an english tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and…

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…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

Make their students feel comfortable (e.g; polite conversation), this thus allows the student to voice their concerns and allows the tutor to adjust what they are teaching and how they are doing so.

Anneke has been amazing. Harper is enjoying maths so much more and her confidence and ability has increased greatly.
Sam

Inside Barrack PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly focused on converting between hourly and weekly pay, using real-world examples to reinforce her understanding of mathematical formulas, and then explored the nervous system's structure and function.

For Year 10, Sarah revised solving equations with pronumerals on both sides as well as equations involving brackets, working through targeted algebra exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack tackled compound interest calculations and discussed key differences between simple and compound interest in financial mathematics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a tutor observed, "she often looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets or questions," which led to confusion during revision—especially when her working out wasn't clearly labeled.

During Year 11 algebra practice, steps were skipped in written solutions; small sign errors crept in and went unnoticed because working was not set out logically.

In a Year 7 session, double-checking calculator entries was missed, causing simple input mistakes.

Exam stress for one senior student meant familiar topics were answered incorrectly without time spent reviewing answers before submission—a moment of frustration as she realized avoidable marks had slipped away.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barrack Point noticed that a Year 11 student, after weeks of hesitation, now openly points out her maths struggles and brings them to sessions for discussion—something she never did before.

A Year 9 student recently showed real initiative by double-checking her algebra work, catching and fixing her own mistakes instead of waiting for prompts.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled with worded problems managed to solve two new questions unaided by applying earlier lessons on identifying key information.

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 Warilla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warilla High School.
