English Tutor Cromer, NSW
I think one of the most important traits an english tutor needs is patience. It is not helpful to make the student feel stupid or inadequate and of course each student is unique and learns at a different pace. Patience is pivotal to make the student feel like it is a safe space to ask questions, be willing to rephrase concepts until they…

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…

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…

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…

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…

I believe it is highly important to listen to your students.

I want all my students to enjoy our sessions and see it to be beneficial to their own…

This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the…

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

Additionally, the tutor needs to…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

Hayden is really gelling with Rohan and after last weeks session he said “best hour I’ve spent all week”! So far so good. Rohan has turned up on time and is so organised and professional. All going really well.

Inside CromerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel worked on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, as well as simplifying fractions using step-by-step examples.

In Year 8, Olivia practised applying percentage discounts to real-world problem solving and revised converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages.

For Year 9, Ethan focused on expanding binomials and monomials in algebra before tackling introductory quadratic equations, reinforcing concepts through targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student, when working through algebra, often skipped writing out full steps—"he can get confused with the + and - signs within the algebra questions," a tutor noted—which led to sign errors and extra corrections.

In Year 10, a reliance on calculators for basic sums in geometry meant less confidence when formulas had to be recalled under pressure.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to show all working in mean calculations, slowing her progress when errors crept in. In those moments, checking each step was left until the end, causing confusion and missed marks on multi-step tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Cromer tutor recently saw a Year 11 student make a real shift with algebra—after struggling with positive and negative values, he now integrates them correctly to solve challenging problems on his own.

In Year 8, one student who previously missed marks on angle questions can now solve them without help and confidently works through sequences and patterns.

A younger primary student who used to hesitate when faced with times tables is not only answering more quickly but has started using her own memory tricks, finishing her multiplication card game rounds faster each week.

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 Cromer Public School.
