I believe tutoring is important for students to identify specific issues that may present themselves. In a classroom environment, a teacher may not have the time to identify such problems where as tutoring can do so, especially for English and Mathematics. I believe I am a very enthusiastic and approachable person so students don't feel…

Passing on all that we know in order to put them in a position to succeed. I feel that applies to all walks of life whether its being an english tutor or helping a colleague at work. Patience is also important cause like I said in a previous question, everyone learns at a different pace and it is important to understand that and make adjustments…

Throughout my life my parents, tutors and mentors pushed me to get the best marks I could. Despite my marks consistenly being above average, I did not retain the crammed knowledge after exam. It wasn't until I experimented with multiple study techniques that I discovering how to understand knowledge instead of simply repeating the textbooks. I can…

English Tutor Penrith, NSW
When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

A tutor should provide a student with a platform to achieve the results they desire. This may involve providing students with the knowledge they need to understand topics, challenging their abilities or providing motivation for the student to work and be productive. It is also necessary to help the student understand the effort they put into their…

I strive to create a welcoming environment by reassuring students of their strengths while helping them work on their weaknesses and aim higher. As a tutor, I am very flexible to…

For me, the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to set aside the necessary time and effort aside for each session. This is vital when helping the student to maintain their motivation and dedication to their work. Time management and the ability to plan each session; (some students may find it difficult to sort out for…

I consider confidence to be the most important thing I can give to a student as I believe every student has the capability of doing well in any subject, but belief in themselves is needed. Upon starting year 11, I really struggled at chemistry, majorly. But thankfully I had the best tutor that pushed me and gave me the drive & self-belief to…

The most important thing for an english tutor to do is to make sure the student can feel confident, making the subject enjoyable to learn, rather than stressful and disheartening. I try to understand what part they are struggling with, so I can help them understand, rather than learn rote answers. So this means I'm patient, and a good…

I think that the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is ensure that the information and skills being taught are useful to the student. To be able to identify the areas of which a student is having a hard time and adapt their way of teaching. Understanding that the students learning is the number one priority when teaching…

Explain concepts to students that they do not understand. Fill in the gaps that they have not been able to grasp at school in the classroom. By explaining topics and concepts to the students they obtain confidence and that in turn enhances their ability to progress in the subject they are experiencing difficulty in. Tutoring is the bridge to…

I consider the most important that an english tutor can do is able to do is simply a topic or break down said topic into digestible portions such that the student is able to catch onto the content of the work easily and effectively. With a good understanding of the topic and the skills to explain its contents to the student, the tutor ensures that…

Local Reviews

EzyMath listened to what we needed in a tutor for our daughter. They found someone within our school area. Our daughter's tutor, Cassie has been an absolute blessing. She is both competent and very approachable. She has helped our daughter gain confidence and competency in a subject which is not her forte.

Inside GlenbrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex focused on perimeter and area, then explored volume by working through practical measurement questions.

Year 8 student Zoe worked on dividing a quantity according to given ratios and calculating rates, applying these skills to real-life scenarios.

For Year 10, Jamie revised Financial Maths topics such as calculating tax and Medicare levy, along with practice problems on taxable income and refunds using sample exam worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to retain key algebraic methods and sign conventions, with a tutor noting, "forgetting whether a constant was positive or negative led to repeated calculation errors." This difficulty was linked to revising only familiar material, rather than consolidating past topics as recommended.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for financial maths avoided reattempting harder tax and income questions after setbacks—missing opportunities to address persistent misunderstandings.

In Year 1, messy letter formation made writing tasks slower and more confusing; "he mixed up 'j' and 'i'," which impacted spelling practice. This slowed progress in both reading and written work.

Recent Achievements

One Glenbrook tutor noticed that a Year 9 student, who had previously hesitated to ask for clarification, now actively pauses mid-problem to check her approach before moving on—especially with tricky algebra questions.

During recent sessions, a Year 11 student began independently revisiting errors from her last Financial Maths exam, explaining where she went wrong and how she'd tackle similar problems differently next time.

In primary school, Charbel has become much more focused during reading activities and now confidently sounds out unfamiliar words aloud rather than skipping them—something he was reluctant to attempt just a few weeks 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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenbrook Public School.
