English Tutor Macquarie Park, NSW
Put yourself in the situation. Think about what you would do as someone who is supposedly better at tackling difficult problems if you stumbled upon the same question. Then convey your thinking to the student. I am patient and I am good at predicting what student may find difficult in a certain exam/test. I am also adaptive to individual dilemmas…

Tutors are there to make sure students fully understand the subjects taught in their classes, whether this be to engage them with new work outside of the classroom, aid them with homework or just spark more enjoyment in the subject. My main strength would be my ability to teach with different perspectives, this being an ability to explain a…

I think as a tutor one of the most important things we can do for a student is be a pillar of support to guide them and follow them on their learning journey. Instead of talking to students and feeding them information its important to talk WITH students as learning is a 2 way street and both student and teacher need to have input. Learning is…

To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence.

To ensure a student can be tutored effectively, they have to feel open about discussing topics and concepts they do not understand well which can be daunting. Thus, by maintaining a friendly and welcoming personality and relationship as a tutor, students are able to be more open about their weaknesses, allowing for me to tailor myself to their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show an understanding of their skill, and to adjust accordingly. I believe this is the key difference between a tutor and a teacher - the fact that a student is able to receive an undivided learning experience. Accordingly, the lesson plan should be delivered with an understanding of the…

There are 2 things at the crux of what tutors should do for students. 1) Instilling confidence in themselves. A student will not learn if they are discouraged and apprehensive about their abilities - they need to feel supported and this can be done through praise and making 'light' of the task. 2) Equipping students with skills. The phrase "Method…

Give them time and space.

Set them on the right path. Helping them to understand concepts and develop skills (rather than just doing things for them) will mean that they can go on to use these skills themselves.

I think a tutor needs the ability to see things from another person's perspective as many tend to forget that the student may not have all the background knowledge that may seem like common sense to most, leading to a lot of confusion and frustration on both ends. I think a tutor also needs to be ready to get creative as students, especially…

Local Reviews

Chris is actually very happy with Shehara. He seems motivated. He's had two sessions with her and seems to like it so all good here.
Carine, Belrose

Inside BelroseTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student James worked on multiplying and dividing decimals, then applied these skills to solve perimeter and area problems.

In Year 8, Olivia practised simplifying algebraic expressions involving variables and revised indices laws using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ethan focused on calculus, specifically differentiation and integration, tackling both definite and indefinite integrals drawn from recent exam questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often tried to solve algebraic and unit conversion problems mentally, saying "I can do this in my head," but missing steps made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in.

In Year 12 Physics, one student overcomplicated questions on torque and the motor effect—"she kept trying to see the end before starting any working"—which led to hesitation and wasted time.

For a Year 7 learner, forgetting materials meant lost minutes at lesson start and scattered focus during BIDMAS practice.

When revision felt ineffective for a Year 9 student, motivation dropped sharply before tests.

Recent Achievements

A Belrose tutoring session saw a Year 11 student who used to rush through exam questions now carefully planning her time, leaving space for harder problems and completing all sections.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant to speak up when confused in chemistry, has started openly asking clarifying questions—this shift led her to resolve confusion around equilibrium calculations on her own last week.

In Year 4 maths, one student who often guessed at answers is now pausing to identify the perimeter or multiply by tens with confidence before attempting a solution.

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