The most important things an english tutor can do for a student include: listening to the student to understand what it is that they are actually struggling with; providing clear explanations and remaining patient; being non-judgemental and supportive, regardless of any progress or lack thereof; and being approachable so that the student feels…

English Tutor Mooroolbark, VIC
Understanding what they understand and don't. If you don't adapt accordingly, not only will it take longer, but even if you can help them understand, you won't foster a sense of confidence in the student for further studies. Adaptability and a deeper understanding of the subject matter I'm teaching, which lets me approach problems from different…

The most important things I can do are allow students to understand content and to ask questions freely.

English Tutor Ringwood East, VIC
I feel that the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to act as a source of information throughout their time of studying. School can be, and often is, stressful, even if you love the subjects being taught and the teachers teaching them. Therefore, I think the role of a tutor hinges largely on offering support and passing…

The most important things an english tutor can do are build a student’s confidence, create a safe space for questions, and teach in a way that suits their learning style.

To be patient, understanding and always willing to go back to the basics and refresh their memory and to get the work to fit together. But mostly the tutor must be someone who the student is comfortable with and able to ask any questions or queries however small or silly they may think they might be. Strengths: Excelent communication and people…

Being a friend and a guide more than an authoritative figure. Working through the problem together so the student doesn't feel that they are the underdog in the situation. My strength would be identifying the student's own weaknesses and strengths and tailoring my tutoring style accordingly. A weakness might be sticking to my lesson plan a little…

Provide adequate resources on the subject so the student can go back over them when not being tutored. Adapt their teaching style to fit the student to ensure they learn the best and get the most out of each session. Also make sure they understand the content and don’t leave the session feeling confused or lost about anything, all while showing…

Throughout my tertiary studies, I have found that the key to learning anything is finding the point of interest for a person and developing that area so that the subject as a whole becomes enjoyable. For any student, progress will naturally vary and giving them that support and encouragement to persevere and overcome hurdles in their learning is,…

Inside Wonga ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Baylee worked on converting between mixed and improper fractions, as well as finding percentages of whole numbers by expressing them as fractions and multiplying.

In Year 10, Theo focused on English comparative essay skills, including structuring introductions and body paragraphs for Section B (using The Hate Race and Charlie's Country), and grouping evidence to develop strong arguments.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Cameron practised creative writing responses for Station Eleven, exploring how to plan ideas around characters and themes before expanding drafts for his upcoming SAC.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 English student hesitated to write down ideas, worrying too much about perfect phrasing, which meant he struggled to transfer his thoughts to the page. This led to paragraphs that lacked depth and left little time for editing.

In VCE English, not memorising enough quotes also limited evidence used in essays—planning and quote recall need more routine practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 maths student had messy long division layouts and sometimes forgot where answers belonged on the page, causing confusion during problem-solving.

When practicing fractions, skipping working steps resulted in small errors that took extra time to fix mid-lesson.

Recent Achievements

A Wonga Park tutor noticed that Cameron, a Year 11 student, now asks clarifying questions during English sessions rather than staying quiet when confused—he recently applied this by discussing persuasive techniques in a new text.

In Year 10, Theo has started grouping evidence and forming his own analysis in essay planning, where previously he would just rephrase material; last session he successfully built paragraphs around both main and minor characters.

Meanwhile, Elsie in Year 4 has moved from struggling with carrying and borrowing in vertical addition to confidently adding two- and three-digit numbers together by the end of her lesson.

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 Warrandyte Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wonga Park Primary School.
