A tutor should treat every students equally. Motivate slow learners and help them improve their learning.

Make learning easier so that they can enjoy learning. I have always noticed myself…

My teaching style is a self-made one which is partially inspired by my mom and my grandmother who were also teachers. * I try to simplify things as much as possible. In fact, i believe, the most difficult thing to do is to simplify something. * I always try to include real-life examples while explaining concepts which helps the students to…

A tutor must be patient as well as motivating for their students. They must be organised and have a well structured plan to support their students while still being open to their ideas and opinions. The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to adapt to their learning style and to be supportive. Not every student can be taught using the same plan, and it is necessary to change when needed so that a student can be successful. If a student needs a range of scenarios so that they can clearly understand the topic, it…

If you are an english tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found…

Help them learn the way they learn best. Education is extremely important, and often students that seek tuition are having troubles with the work, which is often caused by the teacher not teaching them in the way that they learn best. And that is okay, so as an english tutor, I would want to see how they learn best, and help them to enjoy and…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing.

To understand that not every brain is the same; people aren't 'one size fits all' when it comes to learning, and you can't expect to mould a student to fit your learning expectations. Instead, an english tutor needs to be flexible enough to fit the student's needs and goals. A depressed student will need something different from an autistic…

As an english tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of…

Inside Ellen GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sofia focused on solidifying multiplication skills with the column method and tackled basic division, also practising quick mental maths.

In Year 9, Lucas worked through expanding and factorising binomials using the FOIL method and reviewed solving equations for x by rearranging algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Genevieve revised factorising quadratic equations and applied the null factor law in preparation for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently guessed answers in algebra without first unpacking the question, as a tutor observed, "lots of guessing." This led to confusion and repeated errors.

In Year 10, another learner's written work was difficult to follow; untidy layout made it challenging to trace mistakes during trigonometry tasks.

For a senior student working on compound interest problems in Maths Methods, there was heavy reliance on calculators—missing "x" in calculations—and inconsistent attention to unit conversions.

A Year 5 student avoided setting out division steps clearly, so small errors went unnoticed until review. The lack of clear working delayed real progress each lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Ellen Grove tutor noted a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess now regularly talks through her thinking out loud and asks for help as soon as she's unsure, making her approach problems more actively.

A high schooler who'd often skip checking his work is now pausing to fix errors before submitting, showing he's taking ownership of his learning rather than rushing ahead.

In primary, a Year 4 student who previously needed guidance for multiplication has started working out x4 problems by herself and quickly distinguishes positive from negative numbers just by glancing at the question.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forest Lake State School.
