I feel that the most important skill for an english tutor is creating and maintaining an environment that allows a student to feel comfortable with verbalizing their thoughts and questions during tutoring sessions. In addition, it is also important for a tutor to be able to share feedback with a student or their parent(s) in a tactful manner. It…

The most important thing I believe an english tutor can do for a student is to always appreciate their personal best and to not discourage them or show disappointment if they are unsuccessful. Instead, continue to motivate them and celebrate their small achievements as they gradually progress towards a greater goal. My strengths as a tutor would…

To help the student feel more confident about approaching the subject they are learning - in my case, I love the feeling of getting across to a student who isn't particularly interested in English, and seeing points register on their faces. When they believe they can do something they once thought they couldn't, that is a successful tutoring…

Preparation, planning and a positive can-do demeanor. I believe listening to the student is essential, I have found that when a student gets 'stuck' on a problem they get either despondent or so fixated and frustrated.

Build a space where a student feels comfortable saying "I don't understand", and then receiving their issues with patience and understanding. It's important they feel confident enough to ask questions, and not shamed for having them.

A tutor is someone who can help to support and strengthen students' self-efficacy one-on-one. This is extremely important as classroom teachers have to manage multiple students in a classroom and cannot provide the same undivided attention as a tutor can.

Inside WoodstockTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sam worked on calculating area and volume for composite shapes, along with practising fraction operations using visual models.

Year 9 student Mia tackled quadratic factorisation—including difference of perfect squares—and moved on to graphing parabolas by identifying turning points and axes of symmetry.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex reviewed key concepts in Newton's laws of motion and completed practice problems involving two-dimensional dynamics as preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

Homework was often left incomplete, especially for algebra and fractions, which limited chances to reinforce new skills—"needs to do more homework to practice and re-enforce learned skills."

In Year 10, messy working in trigonometry meant sign errors were hard to spot; as noted, "writing out each step rather than solving in his head" would have made mistakes easier to find.

For a senior student tackling mechanics, late replies and rushing last-minute homework before deadlines resulted in missed opportunities for deeper understanding and test preparation.

One session ended with the frustration of forgotten basic math principles clouding progress on problem-solving tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Woodstock tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to factorisation—she started the lesson needing step-by-step support, but by the end, she was breaking down complex questions into smaller parts and working through them independently.

In another session, a high schooler who used to avoid practice tests actually completed one on her own before tutoring began and then engaged much more during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who had previously hesitated with multiplication facts showed new initiative by tackling trickier times tables without prompting and even asked for extra challenge problems.

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 Whittlesea Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Donnybrook Primary School.
