I consider effective communication to be the most important thing an english tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as an english tutor to make the student feel comfortable…

To motivate and inspire them to work their hardest and perservere with their difficult subjects even when they are struggling - also to teach each student in a specific way that works individually for them (I think it is important to treat every student differently so as to be most effective) Strenghts would include my patience and creativity in…

The role of an english tutor is not to solve problems for the student, but rather, their role is to equip the student with the necessary tools for them to solve problems independently. I believe i am approachable and adaptable. This is an important trait for a tutor as no two students are the same. I can adapt to fit the needs of the student in…

Set them on the right path. Helping them to understand concepts and develop skills (rather than just doing things for them) will mean that they can go on to use these skills themselves.

The tutor needs to understand the level of understanding of a subject that his student(s) has. He needs to adjust his teaching method accordingly and try to focus on the goal that his student(s) is aiming at. If an english tutor is able to explain the concepts as per the level of his student's understanding then he can build on that and make his…

As mentioned in some of the earlier answers, I think that an english tutor is not only there to impart their own knowledge, but also be there for the development of any responsibility or independence characteristics as students grow.

I think an english tutor should empower students to think for themselves, as this is what is required for the student to succeed independently when taking exams. So the most important thing I could do as a tutor is to encourage students to work out answers rather than giving it to them immediately. I pride myself on being patient. I believe…

Develop their love/passion for a particular subject/field.

I think that the most important things that a tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success. Once that's achieved, it becomes much…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there for them not only as a teacher but also as a friend.

Inside LindfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alex worked through network concepts like critical path analysis and minimum cuts, using diagrams to visualise solutions.

For Year 12, Jamie practised HSC-style questions on trigonometry and probability, then reviewed statistics and networks for exam readiness.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia focused on simultaneous equations in algebra and explored how probability applies in real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

During recent Year 11 Maths assessments, timing issues caused Kayla to rush or freeze on multi-step problems—"she panics a little when she knows there's a time limit," one tutor observed. This led to unfinished questions and undermined her confidence.

In English, difficulty articulating deeper analysis rather than just describing details meant written responses sometimes missed key marks; teacher feedback highlighted the need for clearer explanations of significance.

Biology lessons revealed hesitation with interpreting data from graphs and applying experimental protocols independently, often requiring extra prompting before moving forward.

Frustration after lower-than-expected results occasionally made her reluctant to tackle new material right away.

Recent Achievements

A Lindfield tutor recently noticed Kayla volunteering to be timed on her math work—a big change from earlier sessions where she hesitated to tackle problems under pressure.

She's also begun coming to lessons with specific questions and a clear plan for what she wants to review, showing more ownership of her learning.

In English, after struggling with structuring arguments in essays last term, Kayla now consistently refers back to her thesis while writing and has started drafting study notes independently.

Last week, she worked through all steps of a multi-part probability problem without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I believe Paige is beginning to ask Jake more questions. I have advised her if she is still unsure of something she should ask for Jake to explain it again or in a different way. I feel she is starting to have more faith and she has advised me she is understanding some concepts a bit more clearly.

I see how much more confident Nicholas is with maths, the teachers at school have noticed a difference, and he is eager to do maths now as where before he wasn't. In regards to Wade, well he is just gorgeous. He has built up a great relationship with Nicholas, and he actually waits for Wade each week..  Wade makes it fun, for Nicholas to do maths. Nicholas told me last week, s" when i get a question wrong, Wade makes me remember how to do it with a trick."  I think Wade explains it to him in a way that he understands it. I think Wade is fantastic at what he does and you can tell he loves his maths. cheers.

Thanks for this.The first tutorial seemed to go very well.  Jet was certainly very positive about Josh!

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 Lindfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Family Catholic Primary School.
