Personally, an english tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and…

By constantly refreshing and teaching students the content of their subjects, tutors should build the confidence in their students that they can learn almost anything with enough time and perseverance. I have a lot of patience and can try to explain things from multiple different angles since I've been that student struggling to understand a…

The most important thing an english tutor can do is to practice empathy in order to ensure the student knows they're in a safe environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Being kind and really listening to what they say to you is also essential, as you don't want them to feel like they can't talk to you, as this will…

To give them confidence and make them feel good about themselves. There is nothing more counter-productive than making a student feel disheartened and bad about themselves, since self-doubt yields anxiety and often poor performance in exams. Establishing a basis of trust is vital for the success of the student, so that they feel in a safe space to…

An effective tutor can make a student feel more confident and engaged with the learning process. They can make students excited to learn new concepts and to challenge themselves, rather than shying away from these challenges. Marks can be important, particularly for older students, and are a tangible outcome for students to measure their…

No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer.

Inside UnanderraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla practised simplifying fractions, mastering order of operations, and converting between fractions and percentages.

In Year 10, Noah focused on statistics concepts including mean and standard deviation while completing a homework assignment.

For Year 11, Natalia reviewed algebraic techniques in Chapter 2 and tackled final practice exercises to check her understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on algebra and linear functions often relied heavily on tutor support, hesitating to attempt problems independently; as one tutor noted, "she needs more practice one on one so that she can really understand what they have been taught at school."

In Year 10 data analysis sessions, feedback wasn't always acted upon between lessons—solutions reviewed in-session were rarely revisited afterwards.

Meanwhile, a primary student tackling addition and subtraction sometimes forgot whether the task was addition or subtraction when working quickly, leading to confusion mid-question. Missed opportunities for self-review meant misunderstandings lingered into the next lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Unanderra tutor noticed a big change with a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on algebra problems and wait for answers, but now works through solutions step-by-step and only asks targeted questions when truly needed.

In Year 11 English, another student has started breaking down essay tasks into smaller steps rather than freezing up at the planning stage—she even tried summarising her own content before asking for help.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously rushed subtraction has begun carefully marking her "tens" during long addition and submitted homework without any mistakes this week.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Pius X Catholic Primary School.
