English Tutor Geelong, VIC
In my opinion, an english tutor should be able to to discern what motivates a particular student, easily identify a student's weaknesses and quickly build confidence in these areas through targeted practice. A good tutor establishes specific goals and ensures any tools or methods necessary for improvement are clear and available for the student…

English Tutor South Geelong, VIC
The primary role, I believe, for a teacher is to guide students to the right direction. With all the progress in information technology, educational content is readily available for literally anyone willing to learn something. The key role, for a modern-day teacher, I feel is to help students understand what they might be looking for and how they…

I believe, more than anything else, that an english tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things an english tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to motivate them and make them laugh, to be a buddy who happens to be helping them with their school work, to acknowledge them with current, expand their grasp of the concepts and can be a influence in some tangible, positive way, helping them make essential connections, or…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

The single most important aspect for an english tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

Unlike a school teacher, we can build closer relationships with students, which allows us to know students' learning styles and helps us in making more individualized learning plans for students.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If a tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring generally…

Inside NewcombTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication and long division, followed by an introduction to the concept of factors using targeted practice problems.

Year 8 student Mia revised linear equations and practiced graphing algebraic functions, with extra attention given to interpreting tables of values for parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Liam worked through calculus skills including anti-differentiation, applying these techniques to find areas under curves and revisiting trigonometric integration through exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 4 maths student, repeatedly forgetting to bring essential materials like books and calculators meant valuable lesson time was spent improvising rather than consolidating division and multiplication skills.

In senior maths (Year 11), one student's over-reliance on mental calculations—especially in Pythagoras' Theorem—led to persistent errors; as the tutor put it, "She needs to remember she doesn't have to do all the maths in her head."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student hesitated to trust their instincts during calculus questions, second-guessing themselves even when they knew the process, which slowed progress through complex integrals.

Recent Achievements

A Newcomb tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with anti-differentiation now picking up the formula for brackets independently and using coordinates to find equations without prompting.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to attempt tougher exam questions began eliminating wrong answers methodically and used her calculator confidently for graphing tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often waited for reassurance before reading aloud started tackling new texts by herself, self-correcting tricky words as she went. Last week, she finished her chosen storybook chapter out loud without pausing for help.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ the King School.
