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…

Patience is vital for students of all ages and skill-levels. The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is be patient with them in order to accommodate their strengths alongside their weaknesses. Simply 'teaching' is not enough for a student given their tutor lacks patience for them. With many years as an instructor under my belt, my…

Also, making sure the student is putting in the work rather than simply handing them the answers ensures the student is benefitting from their tutoring sessions. I am able to successfully…

Inside Woronora DamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver worked on reading clocks and understanding months, alongside improving his multiplication and division.

In Year 8, Mia tackled algebraic simplifications and expansions as revision for her upcoming exam.

For Year 11, Liam focused on Network Concepts and Critical Path Analysis, practising both terminology and past HSC-style questions to deepen understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student hesitated to attempt homework questions unless prompted, which limited their independent consolidation of new algebra and percentage skills. As noted, "she needed encouragement to work through set problems without suggestion."

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for HSC maths did not select or communicate which revision tasks would be most helpful between sessions—this led to less targeted practice before exams.

For a younger student in Year 4, frequent reliance on mental calculations instead of written working caused errors in time and date problems; one tutor observed, "she needs to show working out during questions to reduce silly mistakes."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woronora Dam noticed that one Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to ask for help, now confidently flags confusing content and requests extra practice questions to confirm her understanding—something she used to avoid.

In a recent high school session, another student openly recognised past exam mistakes and worked through solutions independently, demonstrating real ownership of their learning.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed new initiative by completing all homework as instructed and correctly answered most questions, even highlighting challenging ones for further discussion without prompting from the tutor.

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 Engadine Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Waterfall Public School.
