I believe it is extremely important for an english tutor to have similar hobbies or experiences to the student so that the student feels comfortable and safe by taking out the power balance many often feel between their tutor or teacher. This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the…

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things an english tutor can impart on a student. Examinations and content will never be delivered in the exact same way, so providing students with the means to navigate the ambiguities of examination and focus purely…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to help them utilise their most efforts and even when faced with setbacks, motivate them to continue without surrendering. It is also to provide a comfortable and somewhat enjoyable learning environment for the students to be able to focus on learning the contents. I think my…

As mentioned in some of the earlier answers, I think that an english tutor is not only there to impart their own knowledge, but also be there for the development of any responsibility or independence characteristics as students grow. This can include but is not limited to: confidence, tenacity, perseverance and the ability to bounce back against…

As an english tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be…

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.

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

Inside DavidsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Olivia worked through finding the perimeter and area of shapes, alongside practising operations with decimals.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and collecting like terms in equations.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled linear equations and applied laws of indices to various problems, reinforcing her understanding using real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student admitted that "revision doesn't help much for tests," highlighting a need to rethink study strategies and assignment planning, especially in preparing for maths assessments.

In Year 7 algebra, skipping written steps—"he tries to do it all in his head"—led to missed variables and incomplete answers, making errors harder to catch.

One senior student struggled to adapt the right formulas during unfamiliar exam questions; without clear working or question analysis, time was wasted circling back.

When homework wasn't completed outside of tutorials in Year 8, gaps persisted into lessons—so class time became review rather than moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Davidson tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebra problems now attempting the hardest questions on their worksheet without prompting, showing a clear shift from avoidance to active problem-solving.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student—who often hesitated to ask for help—has started openly identifying her weaker topics and requesting extra practice with indices and financial maths, rather than just guessing through tasks.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled to focus for more than ten minutes managed an entire lesson on perimeter and area without losing concentration, finishing all assigned questions by herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

After two months our son's marks in year 10 maths went from the fourties to the seventies. I think most tutors know their maths but our tutor is a wonderful communicator and talented educator whom we wish to retain through the HSC.

Since working with David she's improved out of sight and is now first in her year. She understands questions better & as a result her marks have improved in other subjects across the board.

Nathan's marks have improved considerably over the past few months and i have noticed that he has a new-found confidence. He has discovered that if he applies himself he will succeed.

English tutoring in Davidson

From basic grammar, vocabulary and spelling right up to creative writing, textual analysis and essay structuring. Each student learns at their own pace and inevitably each student will develop their own unique set of difficulties throughout the course of their schooling. The trouble at school often happens with a mismatched English teacher or a distracting classroom environment. Either way, it is quite usual that at some point most students need a bit of extra help. A temporary period of private English tutoring enables a student to receive help with their specific challenges, to clean up their weaknesses. Often the tutor sheds light on what the real challenges and their causes might be too. Whether we're playing "catch up" or trying to move ahead of the class, tailored 1-on-1 support works, that's why it's so popular.
