I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill an english tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is believe in them and their abilities. By encouraging students and believing in them students will gain confidence in themselves and develop resilience. Students will then be able to do anything they put their minds to as they have a solid mental foundation to fall back on. I am a…

I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

As an english tutor/educator the most important factor to foster with your student is that you are honest and patient. Each student develops at their own pace. My strengths include: *I have found that working with special needs students has helped me to become a more compassionate and patient educator. *My ability to review my own methods if…

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

It went really well and we will continue to have Justin work with Alex. Justin explained things really well to Alex and he is already feeling more confident about Maths. He also gave me some great tips and feedback on areas I can work on with Alex.

Inside Dangar IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying fractions by whole numbers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

For Year 8, Ethan focused on rearranging formulae to change the subject and substituting values into equations while completing homework questions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily tackled volumes of composite shapes and practiced finding areas within other areas by breaking down complex figures.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's trigonometry test showed marks lost due to not writing working—"full pages with no working in his latest tests," as the tutor noted. He understood the methods during lessons but struggled under pressure to record steps, leading to missed partial credit.

In a Year 7 algebra session, forgetting to label answers and skipping careful reading of multi-step questions meant incomplete solutions or misinterpreted requirements.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for financial maths needed to memorise which formulas fit different scenarios but often relied on notes instead of internalising them—this slowed her down during exam practice.

Recent Achievements

A Dangar Island tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with rearranging formulas now confidently substitutes values without prompting, even tackling worded questions on their own.

In Year 11, one student who previously mixed up SOHCAHTOA steps can now find unknown sides independently in right-angle triangles and explain when to use each formula—a real shift from earlier confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would guess at fraction problems has started asking clarifying questions before solving, leading to accurate conversion between mixed numerals and improper fractions during their last session.

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 Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brooklyn Public School.
