English Tutor Regentville, NSW
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…

I think that the most important thing a 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 and that…

For me, the most important things a 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 themselves…

The most important thing for a 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…

The most important things a tutor can do is to listen to their student. Whether they need to adjust their techniques, or go more slowly, etc. The tutor should always be attendant to their student's needs and keep track of their progress. Positive reinforcement is also very important, as uplifting and encouraging your student is more beneficial…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Inside LeonayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alexia focused on mastering the area and circumference of circles, as well as tackling composite shapes like kites and trapezoids in preparation for an upcoming test.

In Year 10, lessons with Shivani included a deep dive into Pythagoras' Theorem using targeted worksheets and also explored the properties of angles through hands-on problem sets.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student worked through advanced calculus concepts, specifically rates of change and integrals, alongside revising probability topics such as distinguishing between independent and non-mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

Home practise is essential to build a foundational knowledge of every topic. A Year 10 student was encouraged to practice more at home, as without this, reminders were needed on previously covered material during sessions, which slowed progress.

In Year 12 Maths, a pattern emerged: when setting up series or using calculus, the student hesitated to plan solutions independently and often relied on hints before recalling key steps.

For HSC Physics, one senior student's attention drifted when not actively involved in calculations—leading to gaps in understanding that lingered until he was prompted to lead parts of the lesson himself.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leonay noticed Alistair now takes the initiative to write out full calculus equations and uses his formula sheet independently—just weeks ago, he'd hesitate unless prompted.

Meanwhile, Josh (Year 11) shifted from quietly following along to actively questioning unfamiliar terms during lessons on pKa values; this change helped him clarify key concepts on his own.

At the primary level, Alexia initially struggled with dividing algebraic equations but, after practicing aloud and working through targeted examples, managed to complete similar problems by herself before time was up.

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