English Tutor Berkeley, NSW
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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

According to me, the most difficult part of life is being a student. Because there is a strict rule that students must pass all the subjects even when they are already mastered their favorite subject of study. But they lose their confidence and focus in their mastered subjects and they get lower grades. But the most important thing is that there…

I think that it's important for tutors to be patient and understanding. Just because a child doesn't get good test scores, it doesn't mean that they're incompetent. From my experience, kids can actually excell in subjects once they have the material explained to them in a way that they can understand. Ever since I was young, I have always excelled…

Students who question their abilities need reinforcement of their knowledge through exercises, feedback and encouragement from the tutor. For those who wish to…

Inside BerkeleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on long addition with carrying over and practiced counting money through real-life scenarios.

For Year 9, Cailyn focused on operations with fractions—specifically subtraction and division—then extended her understanding by simplifying algebraic expressions using like terms.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas tackled non-right angled trigonometry, including bearings and obtuse angles, alongside a review of key algebra skills for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, one student struggled to recall algebra rules from previous sessions—"homework may need to be implemented and enforced," a tutor observed—resulting in repeated explanations of dividing fractions and reciprocals.

In Year 11, another learner's notes revealed difficulties with time management during exam practice; limited preparation left her unable to attempt all assignment sections.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student often omitted working steps when solving addition and subtraction problems, making it harder to trace errors when reviewing.

Across several year levels, forgetting or underusing class notes outside sessions led to weaker retention between lessons and slower progress on new topics.

Recent Achievements

One Berkeley tutor noted that a Year 10 student who used to avoid seeking clarification now actively asks for extra example questions during sessions, writing down each step and memorising the process for her upcoming maths test.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student demonstrated a big shift in essay planning—after struggling to organise ideas, he's started filtering out less relevant characters before drafting and has developed his own note structure to match his thinking style.

In primary, one Year 4 student recently completed all her long addition homework without mistakes for the first time and remembered to mark her tens when carrying over.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Berkeley West Public School.
