Amelie

English Tutor Wagaman, NT
A tutor should be patient and never say something is easy. They should always encourage and find ways to explain something step-by-step such that everything is explained and can be linked back to a central idea. I am patient, friendly, and I can see and understand why something can be difficult to understand. I encourage and can relate to finding…

English Tutor Jingili, NT
One of the most important things an english tutor can do is understand a students potential and pushing them to do to their best. I think I would be a good strict tutor who would push people to do their best. To me, the best tutoring style is one that caters to the specific student in their best learning…

English Tutor Wanguri, NT
From my experience with tutors, I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are. Recognising someone's improvements, recalling how a student has overcome a challenge in the past can be a great motivator for the present as well as build self-confidence. Being a role model, students will be influenced by a tutor's method of…

Inside Buffalo CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Elise practised converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and completed a reading comprehension worksheet, discussing potential answers.

In Year 9, Amelie worked through problems on functions—especially domain and range—and solved questions about distance and midpoint using worksheets.

For another high schooler, Michael tackled linear equations and fractions in maths, alongside building vocabulary with targeted examples during English.

Recent Challenges

In Year 6 English, one student repeatedly avoided reading the full question before answering—"she dove straight in," as a tutor observed—which led to confusion and incomplete comprehension tasks.

In Year 9 Mathematics, another student's working was described as "haphazard," making it hard for both student and tutor to follow calculations or check mistakes later.

A senior student preparing for exams sometimes forgot required materials or left homework unfinished, so revision time was lost to catching up instead of tackling new problems. After setbacks on practice tests, hesitance crept in; confidence wavered rather than growing with feedback.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Buffalo Creek recently noticed some strong improvements among students across different year levels.

In Year 10, Amelie moved from second-guessing herself on quadratic application problems to tackling them with real independence—she now identifies which concept fits a question without prompting and even pinpointed her own test errors before correcting them solo.

Elise, a Year 7 student, has begun outlining every step of her maths working after previously skipping key details; she also now talks through tricky comprehension questions instead of staying quiet when unsure.

Meanwhile, Noah in Year 5 revised his last test, found several mistakes himself, and fixed each one unassisted.

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 Casuarina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Good Shepherd Lutheran College - St Andrews Campus.
