English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill an english tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students…

Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence.

I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience.

I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

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…

Inside BensvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac worked through all four operations with fractions, including mixed and improper fractions, and practiced interpreting multiplication in worded questions.

For Year 8, Lily focused on factorising and expanding algebraic expressions, building up to more complex factorisation tasks the following week.

In Year 9, Sarah explored data analysis by identifying outliers and discussing the spread and location of data using different types of graphs.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student left both notes and school workbook at school, resulting in limited revision and no clear structure for preparing for an exam.

"She did not do her homework set for her last week," as a tutor noted of another middle years learner; this reluctance to complete assigned tasks led to less content covered during lessons.

In Year 10, messy graphing layouts meant correct answers were sometimes lost on the page.

A senior student preparing for HSC lacked confidence across syllabus topics, hesitating to attempt unfamiliar material and sticking mainly to well-rehearsed questions—this narrowed exposure right before assessment time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bensville noticed that a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with graphing questions now confidently uses his calculator and quickly recognises more complex graphs on his own.

In Year 8, another student went from staying quiet during problem solving to actively speaking up, tackling fractions and mixed numbers independently after struggling last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who previously needed lots of prompting for multi-step currency problems started drawing her own diagrams and finished all the addition and subtraction questions without any hints by the end of the session.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coast Christian School.
