I think it's important for an english tutor to understand their students educational needs and to help them learn how to apply themselves in the most effective way. The student should be happy with their education and the way their progressing in their subjects. The students need to feel comfortable enough with their tutor to ask for help, and…

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…

English Tutor Hazelbrook, NSW
Teaching is not about your own academic ability but being able to explain content in a way the student can understand. The most important thing an english tutor can do is find the specific way a student learns and use that to teach. I’m highly emotional intelligent and mental health conscious. I believe this will allow me to get the best from my…

Support young people in their individual approach to encourage self-understanding, self-awareness and self-belief. Quite recently, I was diagnosed with a disorder which affects how I process information. I didn't know this going through adolescence, but I remember the struggle and feeling limited in what was/wasn't achievable. It's important to…

I believe the most important role an english tutor plays is to establish a friendly relationship with the student. This makes learning more engaging and achievable. My previous tutoring experience has shown me that students learn best when they are engaged more personally. For example, relating concepts to the hobbies of a student allows them to…

Helping students expand their knowledge and understanding around a topic is a given in tutoring as that is what students are coming to see tutors in the first instance. However, I believe that as someone with great knowledge and wisdom, an english tutor also has a responsibility to help students acquire the skills to grow and learn. I think a key…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is provide a unique way to view and understand a problem when the initial approach is confusing the student. I think viewing problems alternatively can really assist light-bulb moments of understanding, because I believe one explanation can never work for everyone. I think I’m articulate…

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…

Local Reviews

She's a pleasure to work with!
Amelia

Inside WoodfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan worked on calculating perimeter and area as well as converting decimals to percentages, using real-world examples for practice.

In Year 9, Mia revised solving simultaneous equations and explored proportionality through challenging past exam questions.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on financial maths concepts such as calculating taxable income and Medicare levy, alongside preparation for her upcoming assessment by reviewing a recent worksheet.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often left homework incomplete, especially in algebra and bearings, which limited opportunities for targeted feedback—one tutor noted, "set homework should be completed."

In Year 11 Financial Maths, missed practice with tax and Medicare levy questions led to hesitation and second-guessing during problem-solving.

A Year 8 student arrived without organized materials or written working; as observed, "distracted easily, unorganised," which made it harder to track errors or review methods later.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student struggled with letter formation and sight words; confusion between 'j' and 'i' slowed reading progress during number activities.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woodford recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling trigonometry now confidently finds missing angles and sides using trig and Pythagoras, even taking the lead with questions instead of waiting for prompts.

Another high schooler showed real growth in algebra—where she once second-guessed herself, she now works through index laws with increasing intuition and achieved a strong mark on her last exam.

Meanwhile, a younger student made steady progress in reading aloud: after struggling with new words, he now recognises familiar ones more easily and reads sentences out loud with fewer pauses.

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 Lawson Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Mountains Steiner School.
