The ability to understand a student and their learning style is something I highly value in an english tutor. In school classes where they are often one of many, they may find that the teaching style may not work for them and that they cannot achieve their goals. In a tutoring scenario, we are able to cater to them more specifically, to be…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to…

A tutor must always fully and wholly understand his content and always develop innovative ways to communicate the information to their students; meaning - don't copy the textbook on a power point, instead develop your own materials My recent conclusion of year 12 gives me fresh knowledge on the current study designs, the appropriate material…

Inside IronbarkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zane worked on mastering order of operations in maths and developed English comprehension by responding to texts in full sentences.

In Year 8, Lily focused on solving linear equations and practiced writing strong essay introductions in English.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah explored Pythagoras' theorem and linear equations using diagrams, while also learning how to summarise research notes into his own words for English assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to find their previous test for review, making it difficult to address specific feedback or identify recurring errors in algebra and graphing. As a tutor noted, "I was hoping to take a look at Quinn's previous test but we were unable to find it."

In Year 7 maths, untidy working and incomplete steps—especially in long division and addition with carrying—often led to avoidable calculation mistakes.

A primary student's unfinished spelling homework due to a busy week meant fewer opportunities for targeted practice.

At the end of term, tiredness left one Year 8 learner less able to focus during revision.

Recent Achievements

One Ironbark tutor noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who, after weeks of guessing through worded maths problems, now stops to ask for help as soon as she gets stuck—something she used to avoid.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor reported that he confidently explained the range and domain on graphs without prompts; last month he couldn't recall which was which.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once left homework unfinished proudly brought in an organised folder with every task completed and neat, self-checked corrections.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email received today. I am very pleased to report that we are very impressed with Minh and his approach to tutoring our son. Minh is a very responsible and passionate teacher, we feel his enthusiasm will promote Elijah-Taye to the required level in a reasonable time frame.

Thank you for your follow up.  Ty is progressing well and we are all happy with the way things are going (mum, dad and Ty).  Apart from the normal issues, that sometimes he just 'doesn't feel like it' at the beginning of the session, he enjoys the tutoring and is gaining benefits already.  Though Ty has always had quite a good understanding of Maths, the idea of tutoring was to keep him at his best.  He was complaining of not understanding his teacher this year, so the different ways of thinking and and ways of teaching are definitely helping. I am happy with Sheetal and his dedication to his tutoring, even ringing Ty to check his progress before an assessment.  This is not something that I was expecting, but is a welcome addition as I see it helping Ty keep focused as well.

Thanks for the email. We are very happy with Lisa. She is bright and keen and has established a very easy rapport with Xiao. Xiao actually really likes her. We feel very confident that Xiao will continue to make progress with her maths.

English tutoring in Ironbark

Every student needs help sometimes, and often that help is needed in English. From basics like punctuation, spelling and grammar right up to narrative writing, proof reading and literary analysis. The Australian curriculum is thorough and there are various challenges that pop up for students over the years. At some point most students could use some help and an English tutor does just that - help! Ideally that help comes before the student has formed a negative cycle or fallen into a no-effort habit.

What we do is facilitate that help as a home service, we'll organise an in-home English tutor in Ironbark, or wherever it is convenient for you.

English Tutor Ironbark

A local Ironbark English tutor will come to you at a time and day of your chosing and offer tutoring help in a manner tailored for your child's unique situation. The first lesson works as a trial so that if your child doesn't connect well with the tutor, you don't have to pay and we can organise someone else for you.

The terms of service are super simple too. No contracts or minimum hours or cancellation fees or anything like that. You get charged a simple hourly rate. That's it. 

Give us a try, it's a risk-free proposal. 1300 975 754

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