English Tutor Croydon, VIC
Help then understand the concepts, rather than just telling them, show examples, things they can relate to and answer questions such as "why?" rather than just state a paragraph from theory i was once a student who had multiple tutors, and im confident that i'll be able to explain concepts and help students understand what they are learning,…

Inside OlindaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel focused on building speed and confidence with times tables using flashcards, and explored area and perimeter through practical problems.

In Year 10, Vien worked on refining practice essay arguments and re-wording sentences for clarity in preparation for an upcoming SAC.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Tanya reviewed a recent persuasive writing task by brainstorming main ideas and practiced analysing political speeches to identify persuasive techniques.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student preparing for English assessments sometimes avoids writing full essay drafts at home, instead focusing on brainstorming ideas during sessions. As one tutor noted, "the booklet is a work in progress, needs more added."

In Year 6 maths, Maya struggled to complete homework independently and often forgot to bring required materials from school, leading to gaps in practice—especially with times tables.

A Year 11 student working on language analysis tended to rush written responses without planning sentences, resulting in unclear arguments and missed marks under test conditions. This pattern left key feedback unaddressed before SAC deadlines.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Olinda recently saw a big shift in Maya's approach to maths: after weeks of hesitation, she now tackles division speed rounds without checking her notes and finished 10 questions in just 3.5 minutes—down from six minutes the week before.

In high school English, Lizzie moved beyond simply repeating ideas; last session, she analysed a complex poem independently and explained its deeper meanings with little prompting, something she'd avoided before.

Another high school student, Vien, who used to skip proofreading, has started spotting errors himself and reworking his paragraphs for clarity without being asked.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Thomas so far, he seems to have a good rapport with my daughter, and she is progressing and building up her skills and confidence. Thomas is cheerful and very patient!

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

Very happy with the way it is going thanks Gene. Benedict is a good tutor and Saf and I are both happy with her progress.

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 Olinda Primary School.
