The tutor must help the student improve in the subject they are teaching. This involves explaining things clearly so the student can understand and are thus enabled to tackle such questions and tasks on their own in the future. I also believe that the tutor must make the student feel comfortable around them. If it is possible to do without…

Listen. Students often feel overwhelmed and are unable to understand content because they don’t feel they are truly being listened to - something I relate to as a former student, and can easily combat by employing listening as paramount. I am incredibly patient and able to vary my methods of communication to connect with divergent personalities.…

To me, what tutors can do most effectively for students is to help them achieve their learning outcomes at the end of each lesson. There is a specific need for us to teach to the student's strengths while minimizing the student's weaknesses.

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are listening carefully, being patient and identifying that not all students are the same. A strategy that may work wonders for one student could not be useful for another student. Being able to employ different strategies to different students is a key aspect of being a great tutor.…

Inside MilperraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Liam focused on advanced essay writing by refining his Merchant of Venice presentation and practising deeper analysis for The Penelopiad, as well as preparing for short answer modules through targeted practice questions.

Year 11 student Petrea worked on structuring media articles and typing up detailed chapter summaries for her English text, with guidance on layout and examples to improve clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Ryan tackled fractions by finding lowest common denominators and practiced reading comprehension skills, reviewing assignment drafts for both maths and English.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, one student hesitated to expand on evidence in essays, often stopping at technique identification rather than fully explaining how it created meaning. As a tutor noted, "he struggles with linking these together through succinct sentences," leading to missed marks despite strong content knowledge.

Another Year 9 student recounted story events instead of analysing them, relying on summary over deeper insight—this made essays less persuasive and more descriptive.

In Year 5 reading tasks, unfamiliar vocabulary caused pauses and self-correction; during spelling practice, mispronunciations persisted until extra syllable work was added. The result: uncertainty crept in when writing or answering under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Milperra noticed that a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly seeks clarification whenever he's unsure, especially during essay planning—showing much more initiative than before.

Another high schooler recently improved from struggling with unseen English exam questions to quickly identifying key techniques and confidently suggesting alternatives when given feedback, even earning a big jump to 15/20 on his latest assessment.

Meanwhile, a younger student who found decimals tricky at first is now not only solving those problems independently but also reading aloud with noticeably smoother pronunciation during sessions.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My daughter and I are both very happy with Thibault. She has only had one session with him but said he was good at explaining and he was able to answer her questions. He was also encouraging, punctual and very polite. We are very happy to continue with him.

Gagan is a wonderful tutor and I would be very happy with her coming back next year.

Both Natalia and Kiara are very happy with Abigail and things are starting off really great.

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 Panania Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount St Joseph Milperra.
