A tutor in my perspective must be flexible and must be willing to offer any form of support, I.e. helping solve problems, explain concepts in detail, clear misconceptions, etc. Also it is important always maintains a positive attitude and encourages students to learn more. I also think an english tutor should be able to provide their students with…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence.

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to give them the ability to take what they learn in the classroom outside of school. By teaching students the skills as well as the content, students will have the freedom to further pursue their interests. A passion for the subject material, the patience and communication skills…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt. Each students brain is wired completely different, and in school, there’s not always an opportunity to work one on one. So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am…

While it is important that students are achieving the marks they want, this is only half of the game. As an english tutor, I want to be able to maximise their performance but also teach them the fundamental skills that come along with achieving success. Things like consistency, discipline and a growth mindset aren’t part of any NSW syllabus, but…

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience. It is really important to consider that not everyone learns best with the same teaching style, and can process information at different paces. I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is assist them in learning new skills.

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

Inside Mount ElliotTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Rudy focused on long division using step-by-step word problems and practiced adding hours and minutes, including challenging questions involving time calculations.

Year 8 student Chloe worked through algebraic expressions—expanding, simplifying, and dividing fractions as well as revising formulae for speed, distance, and time in preparation for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Rory tackled trigonometry with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and angles in right triangles and reviewed compound interest concepts from his recent school test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on algebra and equations needed repeated reminders to show all steps, as he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

In Year 11, a student preparing for HSC struggled to apply formulas during problem-solving when her notes were left at school—organization issues meant lost revision time.

A primary student found lining up numbers tricky in long division; messy columns led to calculation mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 learner often forgot calculators or started late due to technical hiccups, making it harder to practice efficiently. In these moments, valuable learning time slipped away unnoticed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Elliot recently noticed some real growth in students' learning habits. In Year 11, one student started asking for more challenging homework and even told the tutor when she needed help, instead of just staying quiet as she used to.

A Year 9 student who had struggled with algebraic fractions before managed to solve several on her own after working through a few examples together—she now double-checks her answers independently without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 created his own mnemonic to master long division and checked his answers by reversing the calculation himself.

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 Erina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holgate Public School.
