English Tutor Hobart, TAS
I believe the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to create a safe and encouraging learning environment, build the student’s confidence, and help them develop independent learning skills. Beyond explaining content, a tutor should listen carefully, be patient, and adapt their teaching to the student’s needs. By doing…

Ensure they meet there every need and ensure a student is enjoying their learning, because if there not enjoying they won’t do well. Being polite and patient with students is crucial as it may take a while for them to understand but encouraging them and having their back will bring out their confidence and it will show in their results aswell.…

Inside Battery PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cameron practised identifying adverbs and improving simple sentence structure, then wrote a short creative piece incorporating newly learned adverbs.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee revised mole-mass and mass-mole conversions in stoichiometry using teacher-set problems, and tackled balancing equations through step-by-step examples.

Year 12 Biology student Charli focused on the adaptive immune system by answering targeted questions to consolidate her understanding, and reviewed CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology principles from a previous topic.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes rushed through multi-step calculations without carefully labelling units or fully writing out working; as a tutor noted, "I advised her to spell out her workings so she can avoid mistakes." This led to repeated errors that could have been avoided with clearer written processes.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 English, Scarlett tended to answer comprehension questions too quickly, occasionally missing key words and altering the intended meaning.

Her creative writing also showed hesitation—she often stalled before starting drafts due to self-doubt, delaying progress on assignments like her biography of Marcia P. Johnson.

Recent Achievements

One Battery Point tutor noticed a significant shift in Aimee's approach to senior Chemistry: she now openly asks for clarification whenever she hits a roadblock, rather than quietly pushing through—last week, she patiently worked through complex chromatography principles and double-checked her logic before moving on.

Charli, also in high school, has started identifying her own weaker areas at the start of sessions so they can be tackled head-on; this new habit led to marked improvement when concepts were put into meaningful contexts.

In Year 7 English, Scarlett independently completed the research phase for her biography project and brought insightful facts forward without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago about a tutor for my son Gabriele. You organised for Monica to come to the house and she is beyond a perfect fit. Gabriele was thrilled about the lesson, even though he was nervous at first, and can't wait until his next session, so thank you!

We are very happy with the tutor sessions to date. Kellie and Luke are working well together and we believe this has already been reflected in Luke's recent exams.

Thanks Josh has already increased test results from barely passing to 88%. Exams in the next week will be another challenge. Looking forward to seeing Harry tonight. Thanks regards Sharon.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Albuera Street Primary School.
