I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for students is to guide and assist them to complete assignments and homework rather than completing it for them. This will not only allow them to ask questions and gain a basic understanding of how to do a task, but it will also allow them to successfully complete a similar task without…

Most importantly, an english tutor can lead a student to realise what they are capable of. This kind of core belief change leads a student to have the self-confidence to reach their full potential, including their best learning. I am patient, understanding and compassionate. Even if a young person's lack of self-confidence results in negative…

Setting achievable and realistic goals is essential for a student's academic growth. I work collaboratively with my students to establish clear learning objectives and milestones. Patience is another key strength of mine as a tutor. I understand that every student learns at their own pace and may encounter obstacles along the way. I am committed…

The most important things an english tutor can offer is ongoing support, record of the student’s growth and achievements, providing help outside of what the student already is aware of, treating them as an individual who is already capable and just needs a little help in unlocking their abilities and lastly help students set and meet their long…

I think the most important thing that an english tutor can do for their student is remaining patient and continue to persevere with the content. In my experience, if I didn't understand a concept or was struggling with a question, it was extremely helpful when my tutor continued to talk me through the topic and didn't get frustrated at me for not…

The most important things an english tutor can do is to tailor their lessons to suit their individual students as every student learns differently and has different learning needs. It is also important that the tutor has knowledge on the curriculum that the student is being taught at school so they can align what they teach what the student is…

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as an english…

Have patience and understanding. Not everybody understands maths as well as the next person, for osme people they could get it easily, but for others it could take a while. Having patience for a student is a great way to help them and also encouragement; is another very important thing that could be done for a student and hopefully a combination…

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people. I think it's so important to treat students as adults, no matter their age, (Of course with a little sensibility applied) and even more importantly as an individual -- to not apply…

I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

One of the most crucial things a tutor can do for a student is communicate with them so they comprehend the material. I see a lot of teachers that know a great deal about a subject but don't know how to express it effectively enough for everyone to understand. As a tutor, I feel that the most essential thing is to ensure that the students…

All in all the tutoring has gone well. My son has increased his skills and is now performing well.

Inside MillbrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Dominic worked on operations with fractions—including converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions—and practiced BEDMAS rules through real-world number problems.

In Year 10, Abigail tackled techniques for factoring quadratic expressions in various formats and clarified confusing points about early statistics concepts like measures of central tendency.

For senior student Laura, recent lessons focused on introductory calculus concepts such as finding derivatives and antiderivatives, including applying differentiation rules to real-life contexts.

Recent Challenges

No significant process obstacles or soft skill issues were noted across Years 3–12 in the recent sessions.

For example, a Year 12 student maintained strong motivation and engaged fully with new mathematics concepts, while a Year 7 learner demonstrated steady improvement by actively asking questions about essential ideas.

As one tutor remarked, "Abigail is quick to make connections as we work through related problems," highlighting her adaptive approach during lessons.

In these cases, students were seen clarifying misunderstandings promptly rather than letting confusion linger, which meant more time spent deepening understanding instead of revisiting old errors.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Millbrook recently noticed Abigail becoming much more independent with algebra—she now asks specific questions to clarify concepts instead of waiting for prompts.

Dominic, another high schooler, has shifted from passively listening to actively requesting practice problems and even asking for extra exercises on frequency distributions after struggling before.

Meanwhile, during a Year 8 session, Laura overcame her initial hesitation by bringing up particular areas she found confusing and working through clarifications together; she finished the lesson by trying out several new types of questions on her own initiative.

Local Spots for Tutoring
