I think that the most important things that an english tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success. Once that's achieved, it becomes…

I think an english tutor should empower students to think for themselves, as this is what is required for the student to succeed independently when taking exams. So the most important thing I could do as a tutor is to encourage students to work out answers rather than giving it to them immediately. I pride myself on being patient. I believe…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is help them understand concepts that may seem impossible to them because they can then view learning in a completely different viewpoint. This helps them have an open mind towards learning instead of viewing it as something tedious. As such, being understanding and empathetic…

Inside ChatswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised working with fractions and finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples using number puzzles.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on solving algebraic equations and graphing linear relationships by interpreting worded problems.

For Year 10, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem along with calculating the perimeter and area of circles, applying these concepts to composite shapes through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Mathematics, "got lazy with working out," leading to skipped steps and careless errors—especially when handling equations. This meant extra time spent fixing mistakes instead of building confidence with new material.

For a Year 10 English essay, hesitation in forming a strong thesis and not expanding on points held back the clarity of arguments; as one tutor observed, "needs some assistance making sure points are strong and clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student was forgetful about earlier concepts within the hour—struggling to recall how ordinals differ from ordering numbers during number tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Chatswood tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now working through inverse operations independently and solving for x in multiple ways.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who often rushed writing tasks is now pausing to brainstorm ideas first, leading to stronger story structure and clearer use of literary techniques.

For a younger learner in Year 5, their tutor noticed that after struggling with fractions, the student can now confidently plot them on number lines and complete related operations without prompting—finishing all perimeter and area questions quickly by the end of the lesson.

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 Picture Willoughby—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Primary School.
