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…

Beyond just teaching content, a tutor should inspire curiosity, foster a positive attitude toward learning, and…

Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing an english 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…

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…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be there for them not only as a teacher but also as a friend.

I believe an english tutor must always guide the student, finding a balance between giving them the answer and letting the student figure it out on their own. The tutor is not there to do homework, but to help the student to understand concepts and to have a strong foundation on which they can grow upon and use in the future. My strengths that…

Inside Dee WhyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aidan worked on finding gradients and equations of straight lines as well as interpreting graphs to connect visual data with algebraic rules.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratic equations, using different factorisation methods and completing the square to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan explored circles, hyperbolas, and exponential equations, tackling graph sketching and identifying key features of each curve type.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student found simultaneous equations challenging when only points and gradients were provided; she relied heavily on worked examples rather than practicing independently.

In Year 9, a student's tendency to "go extremely fast through questions" led to missed steps in algebra, as one tutor noted, "needs to slow down and show working."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student hesitated with division tricks—impatience made her guess rather than apply strategies from previous lessons.

For a primary learner tackling times tables, confidence dropped when faced with the unfamiliar 8s and 9s; skipping practice left gaps that slowed progress in multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dee Why noticed a big shift for Morgan (Year 7): she now breaks down tricky compound area problems into smaller shapes without prompting—last term, she'd freeze if it wasn't straightforward.

A Year 10 student recently tackled financial maths and, after previously making frequent errors with formulas, managed to complete a full practice set independently and accurately.

In English, a Year 11 student who used to write vague answers has started linking ideas more clearly in essays and even asked for feedback on structure before submitting her draft.

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 St Kevin's Catholic Primary School.
