The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is ensure the tutor works towards the students strengths and attempts to minimise their weaknesses. Tutors should also be considerate to their student by considering their needs and how they like to learn so that their student's highest potential is achieved. I believe I am patient,…

Make them feel at ease and completely supported, be gentle and caring and show incredibly strong belief in them. I know that children feel more courageous to take on new challenges if they feel someone has a lot of confidence in them. You have to really care about them and their results, so they know the help they are getting is genuine. I have…

A good tutor must be able to tailor their approach to best help each student and facilitate a positive learning environment. The strengths…

I think an english tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is create a safe environment where the student feels comfortable to try things without fear of being wrong. Often kids feel a lot of judgement in the school environment and can lose their confidence to even attempt questions/activities that are well within their capabilities. I think…

Tutors do far more than improve students knowledge and ability. Tutors are reliable figure in the students life who they can build a relationship with as well as feel comfortable around. Tutors ultimately work with students to provide individualised attention and help students grow in confidence. I have had a number of experiences working in a…

Local Reviews

Ruby's session with Hany went well, she said she got a lot out of it and is keen to keep going.
Catherine

Inside WombarraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Remi worked on solving linear equations and tackling rates and ratios, including practice with Pythagoras' theorem using sample exam questions.

For Year 10, Emily focused on sketching graphs by hand and deepening her understanding of logarithms through targeted problems.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Leo reviewed perimeter calculations for various shapes and practised quick-fire multiplication and subtraction drills to build confidence with basic operations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on sine rule and graphing tended to assume pronumerals would always appear in the same order as previous questions, which led to errors in both working out and answers.

In Year 9, "closer attention to detail" was needed when handling indices and more challenging algebraic problems—skipping over key details meant negative signs or fractional exponents were sometimes mishandled.

A Year 8 student avoided writing out full workings in maths, saying, "the answer should be enough by itself," but this habit hid calculation mistakes.

During a stressful week, a Year 7 learner became reluctant to complete homework and lost confidence after setbacks; at one point, he dodged discussing missed tasks entirely.

Recent Achievements

A Wombarra tutor noticed that a Year 9 student who used to freeze up when facing unfamiliar algebra questions is now working through parabolas with ease, even describing them confidently without prompting.

In Year 11 maths, another student had previously struggled to factorise quadratics, but after learning the cross method, she managed to apply it successfully across examples—something she'd found confusing before.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once avoided word problems has begun tackling them head-on; last session he finished a full set independently of time and date questions without needing reminders or extra help.

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 Thirroul Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coledale Public School.
