I believe an english tutor must be resilient in their learning. Teaching the students that there are many ways one can develop their learning. Tutors should not give up in teaching the students that if they do not understand the content. My strengths as a tutor are: Knowledge on the syllabus. This will help me with knowing what the student needs…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to instill confidence and inspire a student's curiosity for the subject. This comes from clear explanations in class, well-prepared lessons and patience from a tutor so that students can learn and gain confidence in a subject at their own pace. My strengths as a tutor lie in my…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student is first and foremost to be patient and never give a student the feeling that he/she won’t be able to do a certain tasks or in general become better at a certain subject. Moreover you should be really flexible in the way you teach things, because everybody learns and understand…

I believe a great tutor builds a strong bond with their pupils by personalising the lessons with content they enjoy. For example in the past I used reading books about superheros to engage a student struggling with learning or gave structured outlines to complete. I am confident I can use my experience to explain the content with pictures, words…

The most important thing an english tutor has to realise is that you have to be there for them academically but also on a personal level. You need to give them honest feedback but at the same time always keep motivating them. The best case scenario would be to not only teach them the subject but also help them help themselves in the future. I'm…

I believe that tutoring should not be a formulaic job.

My main strengths are that I am very good with people of all ages…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is being prepared.

Additionally, the tutor needs to…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as an english tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

Inside Potts PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Taiki focused on reading comprehension and phonics by working through 'The Dragon,' tackling unfamiliar words using sound-out strategies, and then writing sentences with new vocabulary.

For Year 10, Maddison practised trigonometry skills—solving right-angled triangles including angles of elevation and depression—and moved onto bearings problems using extension exercises from class.

In Year 11, Sophie revised theoretical versus experimental probability as well as relative frequency questions in preparation for her upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student consistently crossed out mistakes in their notes rather than leaving visible corrections, which made it harder to track where errors occurred and slowed review.

In a Year 10 probability lesson, messy written work meant "the working was too hard to read back on," making it difficult to check answers or revisit solutions later.

A senior English student preparing an assignment avoided linking points back to the topic sentence and left structure incomplete, reflecting reluctance to engage with feedback about argument clarity.

For one junior primary learner, forgetting home reading slowed progress with unfamiliar words and sounds.

Recent Achievements

One Potts Point tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitancy, now comes prepared with her own list of problem areas—last session, she worked through bearings and probability questions on her own initiative.

Another high school student, Martina, used to rely heavily on worked examples but recently solved algebraic fraction problems independently without looking back at notes—a clear shift towards independence.

In Year 3 English, a student who struggled with past tense verbs is now confidently creating his own sentences using new spelling words and correctly adding '-ed' endings when prompted.

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 Kings Cross Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's College.
