The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as an english tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something.…

For me, the most important part is to actually avoid just being an english tutor.

To just listen. As counterintuitive as it sounds, listening is more important than teaching. As an english tutor one must fully grasp what the student wants and needs and how they best learn.

I think a tutor has a lot of power in empowering a student and making them love learning and love the subject. If a tutor can reorient a student's perspective of a certain topic and make the student learn it, it enables the student to engage more with the subject and hopefully increases their passion for learning and education in general which I…

Inside ElanoraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella focused on writing a creative narrative inspired by a favourite book and completed English worksheets covering sentence structure, abbreviations, homonyms, and onomatopoeia.

In Year 8, Willow worked through fraction operations—including simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions—as well as tackling written problems involving fractions.

Jeremy (Year 10) reviewed Pythagoras' Theorem using practice questions and revised key measurement topics such as perimeter, area, and volume to prepare for his upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student's "I can do this in my head" approach led to skipped written steps in algebra and fractions—making it hard to spot sign errors until the end.

Another, working on Year 11 Chemistry, occasionally forgot to bring her notes or calculator, meaning class time was lost looking up formulas instead of practicing reactions.

In a Year 6 English session, incomplete written paragraphs were common; as the tutor noted, "her responses need clearer structure and shouldn't be rushed." This meant that when feedback was given, she struggled to apply it fully before moving on.

Recent Achievements

One Elanora tutor noticed that Jeremy, a high school student, now checks his own work on algebra and trigonometry problems—something he rarely attempted before—and has started correcting mistakes with minimal prompting.

Willow, also in high school, used to hesitate when tackling fraction operations but recently managed to convert and compare fractions independently during her session, showing clear progress from previous uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Bella in Year 6 showed new initiative by asking for extra homework and was able to spot and fix errors in her paragraph about clouds without being reminded.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Palm Beach-Currumbin State High School.
