I think that the most important things that an english tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success. Once that's achieved, it becomes…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be there for them not only as a teacher but also as a friend. Different people experience different things on a daily basis, it would be best for the student to know that they are being understood and listened to when they're having a hard time. I think that I am a pretty…

I think an english tutor should empower students to think for themselves, as this is what is required for the student to succeed independently when taking exams. So the most important thing I could do as a tutor is to encourage students to work out answers rather than giving it to them immediately. I pride myself on being patient. I believe…

A tutor can give personalised learning experience to students where in the student gets the attention individually which he or she is not able to get in a classroom.

Develop their love/passion for a particular subject/field. For young minds, effective tutoring/teaching is extremely important as it makes them aware of their career options and shapes them for good future prospects. When tutoring is improper, a student might quickly lose interest in a subject area which otherwise they may prove to be good at. I…

As people are all different, so are students. Some openly asks questions, while others tend to shy away. It is up to the tutor to recognise, reassure, and make decisions based on their students in order for tutoring to be enjoyable and rewarding. A tutor must also possess the capacity to excel in these subjects, to ensure that they are confident…

I think one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is help them understand concepts that may seem impossible to them because they can then view learning in a completely different viewpoint. This helps them have an open mind towards learning instead of viewing it as something tedious. As such, being understanding and…

Inside ChatswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised working with fractions and finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples using number puzzles.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on solving algebraic equations and graphing linear relationships by interpreting worded problems.

For Year 10, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem along with calculating the perimeter and area of circles, applying these concepts to composite shapes through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Mathematics, "got lazy with working out," leading to skipped steps and careless errors—especially when handling equations. This meant extra time spent fixing mistakes instead of building confidence with new material.

For a Year 10 English essay, hesitation in forming a strong thesis and not expanding on points held back the clarity of arguments; as one tutor observed, "needs some assistance making sure points are strong and clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student was forgetful about earlier concepts within the hour—struggling to recall how ordinals differ from ordering numbers during number tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Chatswood tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now working through inverse operations independently and solving for x in multiple ways.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who often rushed writing tasks is now pausing to brainstorm ideas first, leading to stronger story structure and clearer use of literary techniques.

For a younger learner in Year 5, their tutor noticed that after struggling with fractions, the student can now confidently plot them on number lines and complete related operations without prompting—finishing all perimeter and area questions quickly by the end of the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very pleased with Gabrielle and so is Thomas, so a great start. Just having a  mentor has boasted Thomas's confidence enormously and I listen to how Gabrielle communicates with Thomas and I am amazed. Thomas is very happy.

I had one tutoring session with Tom and he was fantastic. Very easy to talk to and had clearly prepared before coming to see me. The exam that I needed his help to prepare for is this Thursday so I no longer need his services. I have told Tom I will let him know how I went after the exam on Thursday.

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

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 Picture Willoughby—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Primary School.
