The tutor's objective is not simply to relay information to a student in a bland or dry manner, but rather to establish a solid foundation and understanding for the students - to devise a teaching method that works best. The objective is for the student to learn in the most efficient and enjoyable manner. I am a University lecturer and a senior…

Primarily, an english tutor needs to be a good listener. Listen the problems of an individual carefully and provide the solution.

Tutors needs to deliver their fullest in educating the student.

Local Reviews

Chloe gets along very well with Huey & has told us she feels much better already.
Ron, Northfield

Inside NorthfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student completed a review of 2-5 times tables and worked on reading comprehension.

Year 9 student Amber practised drawing linear graphs for trebuchets and determined the standard form of linear equations (y=mx+c).

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia focused on quadratic problem solving by applying the quadratic formula to perimeter problems and revisited completing the square using guided examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's working out in algebra was described as "messy and hard to follow," with missed steps leading to sign errors—especially when expanding or simplifying (a+b)^2 expressions.

In Year 11, a lack of preparation for trigonometry tasks showed up when key formulas were missing from the cheat sheet; this left the student unsure about when to use cosine versus SOHCAHTOA.

One primary-level learner often guessed answers rather than working through multiplication tables, slowing recall and lowering confidence after mistakes.

When tired, a senior maths student made repeated errors calculating with negatives, compounding confusion during Pythagoras questions.

Recent Achievements

A Year 10 student, who used to need frequent reminders, came prepared with specific questions already circled and managed to keep strong focus during an extended lesson—something that's been tricky before.

In Year 8 maths, another student showed new independence by applying indices laws without prompting and correctly recalling area formulas learned earlier this year.

Meanwhile, a younger student has started reciting their 2x tables smoothly and is making clear progress on the 3x tables after struggling to remember them in past sessions.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job. Thank you!

Grace is really enjoying the sessions with James and the support has given her confidence. He is an excellent tutor.

Ajok is a lovely person who my daughter has taken to very well in the first two lessons we have had.  Ajok was unable to see us last week due to her own study commitments, but I'm hopeful this tutoring will be just the help my daughter needs.

English tutoring in Northfield

No one has doubts about the importance of English in the Australian school curriculum. Not only is it a mandatory subject to complete year 12, but it's a useful life skill. Verbal and written language skills are crucial in the information age. Comprehending texts, textual analysis, structuring written reports, refining creative processes and applying a structure to them, articulating thoughts concisely ... these skills are going to be useful in just about any career path. Of course, it all starts in the school classroom.

Maybe your child just needs to catch up to the class or work on some specific weaknesses or get ahead of the class. Whatever your needs, a tailored approach is what works best for most students so that they can as their English tutor questions in a safe, comfortable and non-rushed environment. That's how learning happens, and that is what we facilitate.
