The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to allow them to build up their own confidence in the subject that they are struggling in, as well as allowing them not to see the subject as a chore or something to avoid, but as an enjoyable and fun task that would be highly useful for the future! My strengths are that I would…

Being able to provide support. Sometimes, a student just needs someone to talk to- and knowing that they've been through the same thing that they have, it empowers them and encourages them to make proactive decisions in their learning. I view the foundation of effective mentorship as one of trust, mutual respect, and goal driven progress that is…

Often when people don't understand something, it's because they aren't thinking about it correctly. Different subjects require different ways of thinking. Science is very cause and effect, focused on how and why. So if you're not used to thinking in very a step by step way (this causes that and that causes this), it can be hard to understand. So I…

Inside Helena ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emmanuel reviewed **narrative writing techniques** and improved his story structure, then focused on correcting spelling errors from homework.

Year 8 student Daniel tackled **Ratios and Index Laws** using a recent practice test to target misconceptions, also practicing applying index laws in different contexts.

For Year 9, Sarah worked on **Linear Relations** by plotting points on the Cartesian plane and interpreting graph features, while also revising coordinate geometry through example questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not take notes on the subject and came unprepared for a test, which left her struggling with definitions and unable to recall key material; as one tutor observed, "she did not focus on definitions."

In Year 8 Maths, skipping important words in questions led to incomplete answers—misreading cost marks when interpreting what was actually being asked.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student repeatedly left homework unfinished and was distracted during lessons, making it hard to reinforce new skills.

For a younger child, anxiety about mistakes in spelling tests often resulted in shutting down before tasks were complete.

Recent Achievements

One Helena Valley tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now clearly explaining when she's confused, allowing the tutor to address gaps straight away.

In Year 8 maths, another student started using highlighters and writing out key information after struggling with multi-step problems—she finished her test more confidently than before.

A younger primary student, once easily distracted during numeracy tasks, recently completed her times tables without reminders and chose to check her own answers for accuracy at the end of the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I thought our tutor was very good, and was very happy with the professionalism. Many thanks Keep up the good work.,

Morgan (my son) reckons she is fantastic, and that she is really helping him out tremendously at the moment. He says he is understanding the work etc. I think the best part is that he is listening and communicating with her

Hello,  I am sorry I have been so uncommunicative.  Dev was lovely and I was sorry to see her go.  She helped Thea very much with her maths and did herself out of a job.  Thea and her teacher told me that she had caught up and was actually finishing before everyone else.  I hope however, I can get Dev back if Thea's maths falls back again.  She was really fantastic and can highly recommend her.

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 Boya Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Helena Valley Primary School.
