English Tutor Dee Why, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to plan ahead and to revise to ensure that the student is able to complete previously covered topics. My strengths as a tutor are my planning ability and improvisation which may be necessary if the student is behind on work or the parents change what they wish to focus…

English Tutor Narraweena, NSW
Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that an english tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they…

English Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is being prepared.

Additionally, the tutor needs to…

As an english tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be…

Prior to anything a tutor must undertand the student's goals and objectives. It is only after this that the tutor should then understand what kind of person the student is, motivational factors behind the interest in learning, and how to communicate more effectively when transfering knowledge. The student's personality is also a key factor to…

Inside CollaroyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Anan focused on PEEL paragraph structure with an emphasis on crafting clear topic sentences, and analysed poetry by Auden.

Year 12 sessions included detailed comparative analysis of The Tempest and Hag-Seed for the Textual Conversations module, as well as composing creative responses that explored Atwood's reimagining of imprisonment themes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student worked through algebraic equations and practiced interpreting functions and their graphs using real examples from recent homework.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, writing habits affected progress: planning was often skipped, leading to weak thesis statements and underdeveloped essay structure. One tutor noted, "He started essays without a clear plan, which made topic sentences vague."

In Year 9 Mathematics, over-reliance on finger counting for times tables slowed down complex multiplication; a student repeatedly paused during multi-step problems to count rather than recall.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Science projects, translating research into presentation format proved challenging—notes were gathered but not organized into a final product.

Each instance left less time for deeper analysis or independent application of skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Collaroy noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling to connect ideas in essays, now confidently links and explains her arguments using improved PEEL structures.

Another high school student made a noticeable leap by applying formulas independently to tackle complex area questions—something he found daunting just weeks ago.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant to ask questions now enthusiastically seeks clarification and has begun tackling long multiplication without prompting.

Last session, she completed all her single-digit multiplication problems from memory and explained each step aloud.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pittwater House Schools.
