English Tutor Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC
A tutor can first start by welcoming their student and getting to know them in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. This will make it easier for the tutor to better understand the student, but also easier for the student to freely ask questions. As well as holding the ability to teach, an english tutor must have patience. Being a…

I believe the key purpose of an english tutor is not only to improve a students grades but also encourage intellectual curiosity. Due to the individuality of each student a personalised experience must be created by tutors, through adapting teaching methods and lesson plans, to stimulate the unique minds of students. Further tutors must recognize…

A good tutor not only finds the best teaching method to suit the learning preferences of their student, but are also able to increase their student's confidence and mindset, helping them be both physically and mentally prepared for assessments.

Improving the confidence of the student is key. The student should evolve to have more trust in themselves and their abilities and be able to apply this. The most important thing I could do for the student is to help them achieve their own personal best and be motivated to achieve. I am a good listener. I apply this to pinpointing the key areas…

Learning is a key to understanding and appreciating the complex beauty of life - enriching the life of the individual. It is one of the key foundations an english tutor can establish for their students. A child who has failed to 'keep up' with learning, to understand a concept or course of study, will tend to drop further behind, and attempt…

Without a doubt, I believe it is essential for an english tutor to nurture and grow self-belief within their students beyond anything else. Self-belief is perhaps the most pivotal factor in deciding academic success as well as personal success, and thus I see it as an important quality for a tutor to develop . Whilst a tutor should also be…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. A tutor's job is not to just teach the student, but to bring out the best of the student and a tutor cannot do that unless they listen to the student. A good tutor is not a tutor that had achieved exceedingly well themselves, although that is a part of it- it's about their ability…

I believe it is very important for a tutor to always show a supportive and encouraging demeanour when teaching students, as every student may have different learning capacities. By showing this behaviour, I think that it will allow students to feel more comfortable around their tutor, meaning they will not be afraid to ask for help. I believe that…

Quick to answer question with confidence to lead the student to success.

Inside MonbulkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on adding and subtracting fractions as well as practicing 24-hour time to support current classwork.

In Year 10, Vien focused on developing main arguments for a practice essay and refined sentence structure for greater clarity.

For Year 11, Tanya revised algebraic factorisation methods such as the difference of perfect squares and practiced grouping techniques using recent worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student sometimes avoided harder maths tasks, choosing to revise only familiar material—"he'd pick known topics and leave the rest," one tutor observed—leading to patchy confidence when new problems arose.

In Year 6, another student repeatedly forgot to bring in school homework and relied on verbal explanations rather than writing out her working, especially in big-number calculations.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 English learner's strong ideas were often lost due to "wordy language" and uncertainty about how best to communicate them during essay planning. This hesitance left some arguments underdeveloped during practice SACs.

Recent Achievements

A Monbulk tutor noticed a real shift in Vien's approach to essay writing—after struggling with unclear paragraphs, he was able to spot what made his second attempt much clearer and even proofread for errors himself.

In Year 9 maths, Maya went from needing her notes for every division question to finishing a timed speed round in just two minutes without any prompts—a huge leap from previous weeks where she hesitated and double-checked each step.

Lizzie, a senior student, began actively challenging ideas during text analysis sessions; instead of just accepting feedback, she introduced her own interpretations while embedding quotes confidently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for asking So far so good Michael is great. Kane seems to be quite happy

We are very happy with the way the tutoring is working out. Harry seems to have improved already and his confidence is on the way up, all good news. Lee has been excellent and Harry is very happy to work with him.

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

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 Monbulk Reading Room—or at your child's school (with permission), like Monbulk Primary School.
