English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

English Tutor North Avoca, NSW
Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence. Deep experience and thorough up to date knowledge, empathy (I am a parent to Yr 11 & 12 boys, as well as a tutor),…

Be present and engaged in each lesson and ensure they thoroughly understand each topic before moving on. I would say my main strengths are patience and communication. When it comes to breaking down questions, it helps to work through things slowly and ensure understanding at each…

Inside BensvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac worked through all four operations with fractions, including mixed and improper fractions, and practiced interpreting multiplication in worded questions.

For Year 8, Lily focused on factorising and expanding algebraic expressions, building up to more complex factorisation tasks the following week.

In Year 9, Sarah explored data analysis by identifying outliers and discussing the spread and location of data using different types of graphs.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student left both notes and school workbook at school, resulting in limited revision and no clear structure for preparing for an exam.

"She did not do her homework set for her last week," as a tutor noted of another middle years learner; this reluctance to complete assigned tasks led to less content covered during lessons.

In Year 10, messy graphing layouts meant correct answers were sometimes lost on the page.

A senior student preparing for HSC lacked confidence across syllabus topics, hesitating to attempt unfamiliar material and sticking mainly to well-rehearsed questions—this narrowed exposure right before assessment time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bensville noticed that a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with graphing questions now confidently uses his calculator and quickly recognises more complex graphs on his own.

In Year 8, another student went from staying quiet during problem solving to actively speaking up, tackling fractions and mixed numbers independently after struggling last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who previously needed lots of prompting for multi-step currency problems started drawing her own diagrams and finished all the addition and subtraction questions without any hints by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job. Thank you!

Grace is really enjoying the sessions with James and the support has given her confidence. He is an excellent tutor.

Ajok is a lovely person who my daughter has taken to very well in the first two lessons we have had.  Ajok was unable to see us last week due to her own study commitments, but I'm hopeful this tutoring will be just the help my daughter needs.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coast Christian School.
