Be patient with them. Prepare, no matter how good you are at a topic you must always prepare for your lessons. Understand the topic you are teaching. If you can't answer a student's question, they will lose faith in your ability. Believe in your students! I was a hopeless student at one point and I believe my comeback from one is my…

It is crucial an english tutor creates a comfortable space for students to ask questions and express concerns. This is because tutors must understand their students problems and thus solve them. Tutors must also maintain a student's confidence as this can enhance their attitude towards studying and therefore drive the importance of school and hard…

I think there are a couple of important things an english tutor can do for their student. The first is being a patient person who is going to push them to do the best they can, not rush them through their work. The second is being someone the student feels comfortable making mistakes in front of as mistakes are one of the most important parts to…

Inspire. Children are an inspiration to their teachers. As mentioned before, children are an inspiration to me since I get to learn from them as much as they get tutored from me.

The most important thing an english tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them.

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as an english tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to enable a student with essential skills, both related to subject taught, as well as life skills. In this way, the student can go on to become an independent learner. My strengths are in being able to put myself in the child's shoes and explain the way he/she wants it. My weakness is that I often give…

Local Reviews

We had twice weekly lessons to prep Charlie for his Year 7 assessment exam as he was looking like he would fail. We got the results back this week and he achieved 68% - not fabulous but definitely much better than he would have without David so we are both very happy. Im really happy with the preparation David does, his level of communication with me & feedback & he has made a good connection with Charlie which is the most important. So far Im very very happy.

Inside Dolans BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas explored addition, subtraction, time-telling, shapes, and skip counting to identify his current strengths.

For Year 8 Lucy, recent lessons focused on angle relationships such as co-interior and alternate angles as well as types of triangles using diagrams for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Michael revised probability terminology and practiced working with tables and x-y axes to deepen understanding of statistics content.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tended to rush through algebraic equations, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—which led to confusion and extra time spent correcting work.

In Year 12, a student avoided collecting sources during research for Ancient History, leaving her scrambling later to track down details she needed for essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled with messy handwriting in maths; unclear numbers made calculation errors more likely and frustrated her attempts at self-checking.

One Year 5 student sometimes left homework incomplete after a busy week, so practice on fractions and division lagged behind expectations.

Recent Achievements

A Dolans Bay tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally start using her own notebook to organise maths prep—she'd previously just relied on loose worksheets, but now tracks practice problems and corrections herself.

Another tutor in the area noticed a big shift for a Year 11 student who used to avoid probability questions; after some targeted revision, he surprised himself by tackling advanced problems without hesitation.

In primary, one Year 4 student had struggled with understanding money but recently began calculating change in real-world scenarios with minimal prompting, finishing an activity about shopping totals all on her own.

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