English Tutor Glenlusk, TAS
The most important thing I can do for a student is provide the student with confidence and real time feedback. I compose myself in a approachable and transparent manner. Based on my former experience as a tutor, I have found students warm to me and form a sense of pride having me as their tutor. I can provide a very approachable, trustworthy and…

Ellen is really nice. She explained things really well and gave me some good examples. She helped me realise that I understand more than what I thought.

Inside ChigwellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Scarlett worked on identifying and using Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary, as well as strengthening her punctuation skills with activities on commas and hyphens.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee focused on mastering stoichiometry problems—especially mole-mass conversions—and reviewed complex practice exam questions covering combustion reactions and specific heat concepts.

Charli, a Year 12 Biology student, revised content on the adaptive immune system and applied this understanding by working through targeted short-answer and multiple-choice questions from recent exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, Scarlett often rushed through reading tasks, sometimes skipping words or guessing answers without pausing to process the material. "She answered promptly and then immediately realised she had answered incorrectly," one tutor noted after a grammar activity.

This made it difficult for her to edit and refine her creative writing, especially when tackling unfamiliar vocabulary or sentence structures.

Meanwhile, in VCE Chemistry, Aimee struggled with organising complex information—she would become overwhelmed by multi-step problems and sometimes missed key details by not breaking questions down into smaller parts.

During practice SACs, she frequently omitted units in calculations, which affected accuracy and confidence under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Chigwell tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Aimee, tackle challenging chemistry topics by applying new strategies she'd learned—she even re-attempted an equilibrium question she'd struggled with before and got it right independently using her own systematic approach.

In another case, Charli (Year 12) proactively identified gaps in her biology knowledge and asked targeted questions, showing a shift from passively listening to actively shaping the session.

Meanwhile, Zane in Year 7 demonstrated new independence by paraphrasing main points from a lengthy article and asking for definitions when unsure, instead of skipping over tricky words.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Shruti is an amazing friend and a tutor. She loves to work with you and always has a smile on her face. She will always help you achieve your academic goals and will not leave your side no matter what.

Deepti has been tutoring my daughter for 1 year now. I am so happy with the difference it has made to my daughters understanding of a subject that she was very behind in and I was very concerned.

Shruti helped me so much in my yr 12 studies as a school friend. She is extremely intelligent and has a lot of patience. Shruti gave me the skills and confidence in my learning and allowed me to succeed in yr 12. Shruti is like a big sister to me, I highly recommend everyone to choose her as a tutor.

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 Rosetta Primary School.
