English Tutor Meadowbank, NSW
The most important thing is being able to connect with the children and spark curiosity about the subjects in their minds. As them being excited to learn makes them more receptive to learn more complex topics with relative ease. My strengths are approaching problems with different perspectives and focusing on the logic and structure of the…

Teach them how to think for themselves and how to be critical of any situation so that they may find answers on their own. Teach them that values are more important than success in life. Educate them to be all-rounders. Give them hope, encourage them and not allow failure to bring them down lest they may falter into the wrong path. I was…

I think it is very important as a tutor to start a topic from its basic and build a strong idea of the subject material so that the student enjoys studying. That is going to boost up the student's confidence on the subject. I can not stress enough about the importance of building confidence in a student. I am very patient with my students and I am…

A tutor is more than a teacher. A teachers job is to give a student a base level of understanding whereas a tutor can build on that and go further. This allows students to revisit sections that the teacher brushed over or to build on sections they seemingly understand to ensure they can answer a greater range of question types. Along with the…

The most important thing is helping someone develop a passion for the subject so that they want to learn more. Studying for exams can get very stressful and students forget the joy of learning something and their natural curiosity. If a tutor can help a student retain even a small percentage of that, its an amazing achievement. Most of the…

A tutor can encourage a student that they can do it. There is no word as no. Teacher's need to imbibe confidence in students especially those who are failing to acheive and give them a reason to do well in their studies. Teacher's need to be patient as well.

According to me, a tutor should first of all make the student realise that whatever he is going to teach is not hard but its very easy and try to make the concept simple that students who are weak in studies also understands it quickly. I have a friendly nature and try to make myself always available for my students. Even after clearing the…

Local Reviews

Inside RhodesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ruby practised **fraction operations and strategies for working with decimals**, using visual models to build confidence.

In Year 11, Daniel explored **trigonometric identities** alongside exponential and logarithmic functions, focusing on manipulating equations and applying log laws.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah worked through **advanced integration techniques** including substitution and the use of first and second derivatives to solve calculus-based motion questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Advanced Maths often relied on rote memorisation for trig identities but struggled to recall them accurately during integration tasks—"he hesitated when asked to apply the ASTC rule," one tutor noted, which slowed progress.

In Year 9, algebraic working was sometimes messy and lacked structure, making it hard to spot calculation slips and review errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's times tables revision stayed only at the familiar level, missing out on harder combinations.

For English in Year 12, late essay drafts meant feedback couldn't be actioned before final submission.

Recent Achievements

One Rhodes tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to freeze on integration questions now working through u-substitution problems step by step without prompts.

In another session, a Year 8 student who had previously guessed at algebra is now confidently identifying unknowns and explaining her process aloud.

A primary school learner, after weeks of hesitation, has started breaking up tens and units independently when multiplying, rather than waiting for help.

Most notably, last week's high school session finished with a student choosing and justifying the best analysis techniques for his English essay draft on his own.

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 West Ryde Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wentworth Point High School.
