I think that the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help…

I consider empathy, support, and patience to be core qualities tutors can offer students. With empathy, an english tutor can help students feel comfortable in being honest, distressed by external factors, and other obstacles they may have to overcome in their learning journey. Patience and support go hand-in-hand with one another as by showing…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect. From my experience, most students do not have the care or respect for their instructors, and mutual respect in particular is essential, because mutual trust is otherwise close to impossible for many people. You must find a balance between being…

While having a strong foundational knowledge of the subjects is important, I believe communication skills, patience and a drive to learn is what makes a good tutor. As an english tutor, you have to have an abundance of patience because you are trying to assist with a concept they have previously struggled with, and hence may have convinced…

The most important thing would be to keep the student engaged - the mere delivery of information means nothing if the student is not interested, or given a chance to apply it. Providing activities is paramount in this case, as it allows students to apply concepts at a pace they are comfortable with and become familiar with them through 'learning…

I believe an english tutor's duty is not to necessarily improve the intellectual capability of their client, but rather, guide them in a way that allows them to harness their own learning potential through customised, carefully tailored programs specific to the individual. Whilst this may not necessarily be viable for every circumstance, it is the…

I believe that learning should be a fun process. When students are engaged in learning, they can actually retain what they have learnt during the lesson. Being encouraging helps students gain confidence in their abilities and increases their willingness to learn. It is also important for a tutor to guide the student in the right direction so that…

Inside WolffdeneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jake practised simplifying fractions and finding the lowest common multiple, then applied these skills to addition and subtraction of fractions using visual aids.

For Year 8, Emily worked through algebraic expressions—expanding brackets and reviewing homework questions on combining like terms—to build fluency in manipulation of equations.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah focused on trigonometry basics, including calculating unknown sides using sine and cosine rules, and solved several angle of elevation problems with step-by-step diagram support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was unable to complete a practice test under timed conditions, showing a reliance on tutor guidance for each question—knows the content quite well but is a bit unsure in his own abilities.

In Year 11, forgetting to use formula sheets and not reviewing feedback after errors led to repeated mistakes in trigonometry applications.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student did not attempt assigned maths homework and struggled to remember times tables without constant reference.

During long division exercises in Year 4, mixing up step order caused confusion, slowing progress when working independently.

Recent Achievements

One Wolffdene tutor noticed a Year 9 student who had struggled with multi-step algebraic equations is now independently solving sheets of bracket problems after just a few sessions—he's even begun to double-check his own work, which he rarely attempted before.

A recent high school session saw another student tackle percentages and rounding: previously hesitant, she aced every quiz question thrown at her and started using visual analogies on her own initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often rushed through math exercises has begun carefully verbalising each step aloud and highlighting keywords in word problems before attempting answers.

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 Beenleigh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rivermount College.
