English Tutor Monash, ACT
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the…

I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic an english tutor should have is to help motivate students with a…

The most important thing an english tutor can do to the students are clearing their doubts whenever they ask. One tutor must answer all the doubts of the students as soon as possible. Also a tutor must be always approach a student with smiling face. My strength is my pleasant face and friendly attitude. If a student saw a tutor with pleasant face…

English Tutor Conder, ACT
Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers). During my studies I balanced full time work and full time university, this taught me to have excellent time management skills and really appreciate the value of…

The best thing an english tutor can do is lay a foundation so strong that the student understands it very well and never giving up on them. It is to understand that every student is special.

Mitch has been a helpful and friendly tutor. He has been able to offer specific and structured ways to improve performance in assessments and answering questions. This has improved both understanding of concepts and the ability to approach maths as a whole.

Inside GilmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Liam focused on solving linear equations and simultaneous equations using substitution, with extra practice on expanding binomials.

Year 10 student Ava tackled boxplots and scatter plots to interpret data visually, then worked through writing and solving inequalities from worded problems.

For a Year 7 session, Ethan practiced simplifying ratios by finding common factors and revisited the BODMAS order of operations using step-by-step written examples.

Recent Challenges

Jay hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session. This led to difficulty recalling older material under pressure.

In Year 12, another student often arrived without clear goals or prepared materials, making it hard to target weak areas in advanced pattern tests.

Messy formatting and incomplete working in senior algebra were also observed—one tutor wrote, "Needs to format her questions and answers a little better," which caused errors to go unnoticed until feedback was given during lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Gilmore tutor noted a big shift in a Year 10 student who started writing out steps for solving problems on cards—something she hadn't tried before—which helped her tackle tricky exam questions with less hesitation.

In another session, a Year 11 student who'd previously stayed quiet began to ask for clarification when something didn't make sense, making it easier to address gaps right away.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student, after struggling with addition last term, surprised his tutor by finishing all ten mental addition problems without using his fingers or needing reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Aslinn is currently travelling along well. We have valued Jess's contribution to her reaching her goals in maths. If Aslinn needs further assistance we will have no hesitations in using your service.

My daughter progressed so well with the support of your tutor, Eliran and we think she is ready to work independently. Thank you for providing a great educational service. We will keep you in mind if we need your support for the future.

Gabriele loves Monica and I will be looking at upping his tutorials to once a week after term 3. We are very happy. I have recommended your service to 4 of the parents of children in Gabriele's class. Unfortunately there has been a massive and noticeable drop in the teaching, motivation, and comprehension of mathematics for our class, but you have helped us immensely and I have passed this information on. Monica is a dream, and understands my son very well, and they have bonded quite quickly.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gilmore Primary School.
