English Tutor Sun Valley, NSW
I believe the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to be friendly and make sure they feel welcome. It's also important to make sure the student is understanding the content and if they aren't to reiterate the points or try to teach them in another way. My strengths as a tutor are that I am highly organised and prepared,…

English Tutor Springwood, NSW
Explain concepts to students that they do not understand. Fill in the gaps that they have not been able to grasp at school in the classroom. By explaining topics and concepts to the students they obtain confidence and that in turn enhances their ability to progress in the subject they are experiencing difficulty in. Tutoring is the bridge to…

The most important thing for an english tutor to do is to make sure the student can feel confident, making the subject enjoyable to learn, rather than stressful and disheartening. I try to understand what part they are struggling with, so I can help them understand, rather than learn rote answers. So this means I'm patient, and a good…

English Tutor Blaxland, NSW
For me, the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to set aside the necessary time and effort aside for each session. This is vital when helping the student to maintain their motivation and dedication to their work. Time management and the ability to plan each session; (some students may find it difficult to sort out for…

English Tutor Woodford, NSW
I can be there for a student and reassure them that human brains are sometimes complicated but once you take down the barriers to learning, then you can really take off. It's alright to be confused, it's a sign you're thinking. You're almost there, and if we talk about it and try some simpler examples, then it will all fall into place. Since 2019…

Inside Valley HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Grace worked on identifying and ordering the letters of the alphabet as well as practising reading simple sentences.

In Year 9, Alexia focused on solving algebraic equations and using these skills to find areas of complex shapes, while also preparing for her test by revising multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student covered key Financial Maths topics including calculating tax, Medicare levy, taxable income, and interpreting exam-style questions using past papers.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, a student struggled with multi-step tax and financial calculations, but tended to avoid reworking questions independently—"she needs to gain more confidence in calculating taxable income," one note observed.

In Year 11, another student forgot to bring formula sheets and had not revised prior topics, making it harder to link area formulas for composite shapes during problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student reviewing algebra repeatedly overlooked sign conventions ("be careful of the sign conventions"), leading to repeated errors that slowed progress through new content.

Each moment saw extra time spent retracing steps instead of building mastery.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10, Tariq had previously needed a lot of guidance with percentages and Pythagoras' Theorem, but last session he worked out the length of unknown triangle sides using the theorem mostly on his own, only asking for help when really stuck.

Isabelle (Year 9) started off unsure about calculating area and perimeter of complex shapes; now she accurately finds these for trapeziums and cylinders without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lillian (Year 5) used to rush her spelling, but this week she took time to spell every word on her list correctly during her test.

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 Blue Mountains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Mountains Grammar Preparatory School campus.
