i consider the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is encourage them to question and interpret the content in a way which suits themselves. More specifically, I believe tailoring a student’s tutoring to their strengths and weaknesses and encouraging them to reach their own personal goals. as a tutor I believe my strengths…

I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

I think an english tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient,…

Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

A tutor can provide deeper and specific pedagogical learning support for students to hope them reach their learning goals. A student might not get enough one-on-one time with a classroom teacher in a regular classroom setting. Tutors can complement the traditional school setting by providing assistance, clarification, deeper scaffolding and…

I understand that some kids may not be as quick as others and I…

Above tutoring a student, I believe an english tutor should be a role model; They should inspire a love for learning. Furthermore, the tutor should build a relationship to build trust so that the lessons don't seem forced and uncomfortable.

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is give them confidence.

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn.

Listen. I think it is pivotal for an english tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential. Determination. When teaching a student something for the first time, it can be very difficult for them to understand a concept. So, as a…

1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it. I hold this statement in significance. Having studied in different countries I understand the difference in teaching. Tutoring being 1 on 1 or in small groups allows for this. I…

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals. Tutors must foster or inspire a strong work ethic within students, motivating them to strive to reach their personal best. Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

Local Reviews

Emily’s first tutoring session with Alexander went really well. He was so good with Emily on breaking things down we are very happy to continue.

Inside Palm BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily worked on area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, as well as finding the area and perimeter of composite shapes by breaking them into smaller sections.

In Year 8, Lucas tackled surface area and volume calculations for cylinders, pyramids, and cones, focusing on applying formulas to real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah reviewed trigonometry with angles of elevation and depression, using diagrams to visualise worded problems involving right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on coordinate geometry sometimes presented messy written solutions, making it harder to spot errors in graphing tasks.

In a senior maths session, one student "forgot the gradient formula and mixed up powers with coefficients," slowing down their progress during algebraic manipulations.

Another Year 10 learner struggled to recall key formulae for bearings questions—without notes on hand, confusion increased and extra time was spent retracing steps.

During long division of polynomials in Year 11, missing intermediate workings led to repeated sign errors before improvement came with clearer layout. The impact: more time correcting than moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Palm Beach tutor noticed a Year 10 student who'd been hesitant with algebraic fractions now setting up problems on her own and checking for errors without prompting—a real shift from last term's confusion.

Another high schooler, after weeks of struggling to keep exam mistakes in check, scored an 88% on his latest test by catching small slip-ups himself before submission.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to rely heavily on finger counting is now adding by twenties and tackling larger sums with just the "rainbow" strategy—she finished her worksheet using no fingers at all.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Barrenjoey High School.
