Personally, an english tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and…

A tutor has to be able to not only teach them content but able to support students on an emotional and cognitive level as they progress through a subject/s that they may not like or are uncomfortable with as they have had bad memories of the subject. As an english tutor, it's integral that we can offer a holistic, effective approach to tutoring in…

I think that it's important for tutors to be patient and understanding. Just because a child doesn't get good test scores, it doesn't mean that they're incompetent. From my experience, kids can actually excell in subjects once they have the material explained to them in a way that they can understand. Ever since I was young, I have always excelled…

Listen to the student patiently. Different students have a different understanding capacity.

Inside Farmborough HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Charlie practised long addition with carrying and worked on simple subtraction using written examples.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on linear equations with negative numbers and fractions, as well as plotting points and values on the Cartesian plane, before moving onto perimeter calculations and square unit conversions.

For Year 11, Nicholas reviewed non-right angled trigonometry—particularly bearings—and completed revision of algebraic substitution problems using targeted past HSC questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, one student was reluctant to show working and often kept calculations in their head; as a tutor noted, "it is difficult knowing where she is stuck if she keeps her process contained within her mind." This led to missed feedback opportunities and repeated errors.

A Year 8 student relied heavily on calculator inputs for linear equations but struggled to clearly transfer results onto paper, resulting in incomplete finishing statements.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's written work sometimes lacked clear logic in multiplication—mistakes compounded when sentence questions weren't translated into sums.

In senior maths, exam preparation faltered when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than new or challenging formats.

Recent Achievements

A Farmborough Heights tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to doubt her algebra skills now independently tackles equations with variables, checking her answers without prompting.

In a senior session, one student who previously struggled with trigonometry began identifying which trig function to use and isolating unknowns correctly after practicing right-angled triangle problems.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 maths, a younger learner who often made mistakes with carrying in addition completed her homework error-free for the first time and remembered to mark her tens throughout all sums.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cedars Christian College.
