English Tutor Lilli Pilli, NSW
I believe the most important thing for an english tutor to do is encourage their students. School content will be challenging for everyone at some point and it is often hard to persevere when we do not understand the content. By being patient with students and helping them until they grasp the concept tutors are able to assist students in gaining…

English Tutor Lilli Pilli, NSW
Tutors need to be able to listen, support, and communicate with their students in a way that makes them feel comfortable to ask questions and admit when they don’t really understand what’s going on. By being an approachable person, students are less likely to feel anxious and in a comfortable environment, are more likely to absorb the…

Be patient with them. Prepare, no matter how good you are at a topic you must always prepare for your lessons. Understand the topic you are teaching. If you can't answer a student's question, they will lose faith in your ability. Believe in your students! I was a hopeless student at one point and I believe my comeback from one is my…

English Tutor Caringbah South, NSW
It is crucial an english tutor creates a comfortable space for students to ask questions and express concerns. This is because tutors must understand their students problems and thus solve them. Tutors must also maintain a student's confidence as this can enhance their attitude towards studying and therefore drive the importance of school and hard…

Providing clear academic support, personalizing the learning experience, and fostering confidence.

Tailoring my approach to each student's learning style and interests allows for deeper understanding. Additionally, creating a supportive…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is to try be on the wavelength as their student, as this will help them better learn concepts better if you are both on the same page.

I think there are a couple of important things an english tutor can do for their student. The first is being a patient person who is going to push them to do the best they can, not rush them through their work. The second is being someone the student feels comfortable making mistakes in front of as mistakes are one of the most important parts to…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as an english tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

To me, a tutor is someone that can not only prepare a student in the classroom but to prepare them for life. Learning skills allow for the child to develop their own interests and pursue them further beyond the idea of exams and tests. I hope that my valuable skills allow for students to become high achievers, both in the academic situation and…

Inside Lilli PilliTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily worked through solving equations with negative x-values and reviewed key probability terminology, focusing on real-world examples.

For Year 9, James tackled angles on parallel lines as well as exterior angle problems in triangles using diagrams for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia revised trigonometric ratios with a focus on radians and practiced applying the sine and cosine rules to exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often rushed through algebra problems, which meant key working steps were skipped—one tutor observed, "He moved too quickly to answers, missing negatives." This led to time spent correcting sign errors instead of progressing.

For a Year 12 Ancient History essay writer, collecting sources only after drafting made referencing difficult and slowed progress; the need to gather sources as she learned each topic was clear.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 maths student's messy handwriting ("the number 8 can look like a 6") resulted in calculation mix-ups and disrupted their flow mid-question.

In one lesson, a missing exercise book for a primary student meant vital revision couldn't happen on schedule.

Recent Achievements

In Lilli Pilli, a big shift was noticed for a Year 10 student who used to struggle with algebraic patterns—she now recognises them on her own and solved single-variable problems independently last session.

Meanwhile, a senior high school student surprised herself by tackling harder probability questions she'd previously avoided; this newfound success led her to request even more challenging practice.

In primary, one younger learner moved from confusion about repeated addition to confidently using counters to solve tricky sums—a breakthrough after weeks of hesitation. She finished the session by solving all addition problems without prompting.
