I think to be able to cater to each sutdent individually is the most important thing an english tutor can do. Each student learns and processes information differently. By understanding this the tutor can adapt their teaching style to suit that of the student. I think my experience in my job and as a student now studying teaching, I have the…

Build relationships - From being tutored and informally tutoring I have found that the relationship between an english tutor and a student makes all the difference in learning and motivation. It\\\'s important to build rapport and actively listen to the student. Promote independence - ultimately, students shouldn\\\'t need to rely on a tutor to…

I believe it is most important to build a student's confidence. Once they believe they can achieve things on their own, and develop an interest in the subject, higher grades will follow. My strength is patience and I believe my weakness would be understanding school curriculums, however I am a fast learner and know I can adapt…

I believe that tutors must be good analyzers if they want to succeed. I mean that they have to examine the way students study and practice and even think. After a good observation, they can provide students with the tools with which students can improve their weaknesses. This can be different form one student to another one. Besides, Encouraging…

I believe an english tutor's role is to guide, facilitate and provide feedback on the student's own work. It is essential that the student independently develops the skills necessary to become competent. A tutor's role in this process is to encourage the student to explore their own knowledge, and provide tips to consolidate their understanding,…

A tutor's primary aim is to instill confidence in the student. Students seek tutors for a variety of reasons. Maybe the student is struggling and needs someone to explain things more clearly. A wise and patient tutor will do that, and the student will feel more confident; that they can do it! Some students come to tutoring with no real problems,…

The first thing would be to establish a plan of goals and expectations and help the student identify their role in this plan. Once an english tutor has an idea of the expectation of the parents/school/ students then only can progress take shape, and this might have many forms and variations as to how this is executed as the student grows or…

I consider the most important thing an english tutor can do for their student is make their teaching environment comfortable.

I would say the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is helping them grow as individuals, and help them find a love for learning - a strong passion for the academic studies. A tutor needs to also serve as a good role model for the students, and be a person the student can trust to help them improve their grades. I would say…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to break a concept down to its simplest form. In my school days, I often found this to be the easiest way to learn. If your basic foundation of any concept is strong, it gets much easier to build on that and learn more complex information pertaining to it. Moreover, being…

Therefore, I think that conducting a personalized teaching plan for the students to observe and explore what methods they can…

Local Reviews

Xinchi has just been over again this evening and I would like to say what a lovely young man he is. He is very thorough, knows what he is teaching, and has a lovely manner. He has already built a nice rapport with Cameron. We are keen to see Cameron's progress under Xinchi's guidance.

Inside ArdrossTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked on calculating area, length, and perimeter in measurement tasks and practiced geometric shapes and angles using diagrams.

In Year 8, Ava tackled linear equations and began exploring parabolas, followed by an investigation into geometric relationships in curves.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student focused on applying indices rules through BIMDAS operations and completed basic data analysis for an assignment using real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Homework discipline was a challenge for one Year 9 student, as noted: "didn't do homework," which meant test preparation was incomplete—impacting recall of mean, median, and range.

In Year 7, confusion about decimal conversion led to hesitation during multi-step problems; "still unsure about decimals as well as making a few silly mistakes."

For a Year 11 learner, time management issues appeared in assignment work—longer tasks were left unfinished.

Organization and equation memory also slipped in senior years: one note recorded "needs work on remembering equations," especially under test pressure, leaving key steps missing from final answers.

Recent Achievements

One Ardross tutor noticed a big shift with Jack in Year 9—after weeks of hesitating on multi-step worded problems, he now breaks them down and solves them independently, catching his own mistakes as he works.

In Year 11 maths, Kara had struggled to remember the indice laws but can now explain and apply them correctly across different problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student recently started choosing multiplication games over other activities, asking for harder times tables after initially avoiding them altogether. Last week she finished all her multiplication card challenges without needing hints.

Very happy with Thien. My son has jumped from very bad marks in tests to getting high marks.

we are very pleased with the tutoring sessions Mario is providing. His tutoring has made a significant improvement to our daughters maths grades and has helped to increase our daughter's confidence with maths which she struggled with previously. He is also very patient, polite and punctual.

English tutoring in Ardross

No one has doubts about the importance of English in the Australian school curriculum. Not only is it a mandatory subject to complete year 12, but it's a useful life skill. Verbal and written language skills are crucial in the information age. Comprehending texts, textual analysis, structuring written reports, refining creative processes and applying a structure to them, articulating thoughts concisely ... these skills are going to be useful in just about any career path. Of course, it all starts in the school classroom.

Maybe your child just needs to catch up to the class or work on some specific weaknesses or get ahead of the class. Whatever your needs, a tailored approach is what works best for most students so that they can as their English tutor questions in a safe, comfortable and non-rushed environment.
