I consider the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to encourage and empower them. I believe most students can learn most subjects/tasks but it's just about finding the way of learning that works for them. I am positive and encouraging. I believe a student can learn anything if they are engaged in the subject matter and…

The most important thing a teacher can teach a student is something about how they learn best, like what techniques, environements, etc. they need to learn effectively. This is not only a skill that will help them any time they need to learn something in the future, but also something that will help them enjoy the process. I think I have excellent…

One of the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself.

Personally I think the most important thing for an english tutor to do for a child is to create a fun and helpful environment. A child obviously will disengage with a tutor and learning content if the tutor is detrimentally critical of a student which would instill fear and anxiety in the child and in fact, make them absorb less of what the tutor…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is aid them in being confident enough to always attempt a problem. A great tutor helps a student to put aside the "oh no, I don't know what to do" thought or feeling and and least try to break the problem into something they do know how to do. My strengths as a tutor come in my genuine…

I think the most important thing that an english tutor can do is be supportive. Students are already frustrated when they do not understand something, hence we do not need to add to that by being frustrated at them. In addition, a tutor needs to be flexible. This allows one to better tailor the program to the student's needs and the student's…

Firstly, it's crucial to create a safe and supportive environment where…

Inside NewtownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lily focused on expanding and factorising perfect squares, as well as reviewing non-linear relationships through function graphs.

In Year 10, Sam worked through the turning point of parabolas, x- and y-intercepts, and solved quadratic equations using the quadratic formula with practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the unit circle in depth, covering radian measure, arc length and sector area, plus applications involving negative and complementary angle formulae.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, messy written work in algebra and trigonometry—"works all over the place"—led to lost marks from sign errors and made revision harder later.

For a Year 11 student, reliance on answers during practice ("more practice without looking at answers") limited genuine recall under exam conditions.

A Year 9 student's tendency to avoid explaining working aloud caused confusion when tackling probability questions; as noted, "needs improvement in explaining his working out."

Meanwhile, one primary student's disinterest at lesson start sometimes derailed focus until momentum picked up, leaving key notes incomplete or untidy by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Newtown noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with exam timing now confidently plans her approach, finishing all sections without rushing or missing marks.

Another high schooler, after previously struggling with advanced geometry questions, has started talking through his problem-solving out loud and now makes minimal errors even on tougher problems.

Meanwhile, an upper primary student who once needed reminders to stay focused completed his maths homework independently this week and planned his own revision for the first time. He finished the session by neatly writing out every calculation step without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your assistance with the 2 sessions my son had with Christina. Christine was very punctual, organised and knew Yr 7 Math, and revision skills very well, and additionally was also a very patient and knowledgeable tutor.

Sean has been a blessing, firstly gaining James trust and allowing him to open up in a safe environment and confront his difficulty with Maths, and then by showing him that math has practical uses and that there is nothing to fear. Without Sean's guidance James would not have progressed so far this year, and we are truly grateful. I wish Sean all the best with his studies and what I am sure will be a successful career.

Corey is enjoying his tutoring with Lital she motivates him and visually works with materials for him which seems to be working. He has only had 3 sessions so over time hoping to see some success.

English tutoring in Newtown

Unfortunately not every school teacher is a good match for every student. Often the student might develop the sense that they are not smart because they don't understand their teacher's approach, but often it's just a bad match. No teacher is a perfect teacher for every single student, especially students who might need a tailored approach. A private English tutor can help.

It's truly incredible the way in which one explanation creates that "aha" moment whereas another creates confusion. Our service is all about finding you the "right" tutor, not the "best" tutor. A local Newtown English tutor will not only connect well with your child but they will be able to offer explanations in such a manner that your child just "gets it". This is what we do.

English Tutor Newtown

Our offer is quite simple. We will find you an English tutor in Newtown. They will come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will come as often or as little as you decide. They will tailor the lessons to your child's specific needs. Best of all, if you think the tutor is not the "right" fit, we'll organise another tutor free of charge.

We want you to be a raving fan of your tutor. That's our Good-Fit guarantee.

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 Newtown Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australia Street Infants School.
