I think an english tutor plays a significant role in making learning enjoyable. By making learning approachable, students can develop the enthusiasm to learn new things and allow for growth in their studies. I believe what matters is how much students understand the content and not just remembering how much they learn. I believe my strength is to…

A tutor can show a student why instead of just how. Students step into academics and are shown what to do and how to do it, but they don't understand why until much later on in life. A tutor is in a way a parent, trying to teach their child. Essentially, their future depends on how well they have been prepared, no matter how small the…

To be flexible. Every one of us is a one-of-a-kind human being. This fact is so important that as an english tutor, being flexible in the teaching approach will help the students grow in their own way without being forced to follow others' approaches. Empathy and communication skills. Having been working since I was 16, my mindset has changed ever…

In my opinion, tutors must prioritize "learning by fun" and create an environment for the students that enable them to be active and to participate in class room activities. In addition to it, tutors must inculcate modern ways and an open attitude to deal with students of the twenty first century. The fact that I tend to keep a strong heart and an…

Help them gain confidence, and for them to do the best they can. Students that require tutoring are often ones that lack confidence in a subject area.

But also understanding that each student has their own way of learning, so I should teach the way that is best for them. I think I'm patient and good at making a friendly environment so they can ask…

I think an english tutor should be obviously able to help the student academically; that is ensuring they understand the content you are teaching fully even if that means teaching them privately. Moreover, I think a tutor should be a student's net; we should be able to reassure them when they're unable to understand something in class. Tutors…

Inside CairnleaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Taj focused on probability concepts and practiced multiplication timetables for fluency.

For Year 8, Aashi worked through scientific notation and indices, then tackled practice with multiplying decimals to address past difficulties.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jason reviewed algebraic expressions and solved worded questions involving variables and equations, using real-life examples for context.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, homework was often left incomplete, especially with chapter revision and annotating articles—this meant gaps persisted in key skills like probability.

One Year 10 student repeatedly avoided showing full working when expanding algebraic expressions; as a tutor noted, "she tried to do too much in her head and missed sign errors."

In English for Year 6, a lack of planning caused him to get stuck on what each paragraph should say, leading to frustration mid-essay.

After setbacks on worded questions in Year 11 Maths, one student lost confidence and hesitated to attempt problems without heavy guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Cairnlea tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who had previously struggled with algebraic expressions now working through expansion questions independently, applying each step without prompting.

A Year 7 learner who used to stay quiet during sessions has started speaking up about which maths concepts feel tricky and is now quick to ask for help when needed.

In primary, a student who was often hesitant about reading comprehension began summarising passages aloud and identifying key details by herself—she finished her latest story plan with all the main points mapped out in her own words.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yarra is very happy with Andrea, and I can already notice improvements :-) I expect Andrea to keep tutoring Yarra for a long time.

Kyle seems v competent and determined. Zahara is paying full attention as she obviously wants to grasp maths

We've had 2 sessions with Hyolie and I find her very knowledgeable and organised. My daughter is comfortable with her, so far so good.

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 St Albans Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cairnlea Park Primary School-Western Special Assistance Unit - Language.
