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…

A tutor can provide deeper and specific pedagogical learning support for students to hope them reach their learning goals. A student might not get enough one-on-one time with a classroom teacher in a regular classroom setting. Tutors can complement the traditional school setting by providing assistance, clarification, deeper scaffolding and…

I think an english tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient,…

I believe it is extremely important for an english tutor to have similar hobbies or experiences to the student so that the student feels comfortable and safe by taking out the power balance many often feel between their tutor or teacher. This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the…

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…

To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible.

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things an english tutor can impart on a student.

Local Reviews

We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Inside Elanora HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Angelina worked on calculus questions, focusing on resolving small algebra errors in differentiation, and practiced past coordinate geometry problems including function shading.

Year 9 student Max reviewed trigonometry by identifying sides and using ratios for angles, then tackled quadratic equations from practice tests.

For primary level, Year 4 student Sarah concentrated on reading analog clocks to tell the time and practiced multiplication tables for fluency.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, an assignment draft was left until just days before the due date; as one tutor put it, "she let an English draft catch up to her," resulting in unnecessary stress and a rushed product.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 Biology student postponed starting a major table task for three consecutive lessons, only completing it after direct prompting.

In junior high mathematics, one student repeatedly skipped writing out steps when solving algebra problems—leading to confusion with sign errors and missed marks on tests.

A lack of timely revision or feedback use meant mistakes were repeated rather than resolved.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Elanora Heights noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, finally started asking for help the moment she felt stuck on algebra steps—rather than staying quiet and guessing.

In another high school session, a Year 11 student celebrated her agriculture assignment mark jumping by nearly 25% from last term; she tackled it well ahead of the due date this time instead of leaving things to the last minute.

Meanwhile, a younger student is now confidently reading an analog clock independently after needing reminders just a few sessions ago.

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Elanora Heights Public School.
