The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to instill confidence and inspire a student's curiosity for the subject. This comes from clear explanations in class, well-prepared lessons and patience from a tutor so that students can learn and gain confidence in a subject at their own pace. My strengths as a tutor lie in my…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student is first and foremost to be patient and never give a student the feeling that he/she won’t be able to do a certain tasks or in general become better at a certain subject. Moreover you should be really flexible in the way you teach things, because everybody learns and understand…

I believe a great tutor builds a strong bond with their pupils by personalising the lessons with content they enjoy. For example in the past I used reading books about superheros to engage a student struggling with learning or gave structured outlines to complete. I am confident I can use my experience to explain the content with pictures, words…

Encouraging the student to see their potential as something that can only grow from that point onwards, and telling them that even if the process of creating an environment and mindset where they can learn is a long and arduous one, it will improve with time and the skills learnt along the way will stay with them for the rest of their school lives…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as an english tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

Among the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is that a tutor must be able to understand a student's learning style so that the student would be able to learn the material in a way that is analogous to their mode of synthesising knowledge. A tutor must do this all the while being open and kind and most especially warm…

If it's a correct match of a student and a teacher, then definitely an english tutor can change the overall personality of his student and in turn learn from him as well.

The most important thing an english tutor can do is to ensure that the child fully understands the lesson, and finds purpose in it.

Help them to understand that they can learn. That they understand that teaching is one aspect of the education process and the other is learning. That all students have the capacity to learn especially if the teacher is prepared to apply their best effort to offering those students a way to understand the information. This can be assisted if both…

Inside Potts PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Taiki focused on reading comprehension and phonics by working through 'The Dragon,' tackling unfamiliar words using sound-out strategies, and then writing sentences with new vocabulary.

For Year 10, Maddison practised trigonometry skills—solving right-angled triangles including angles of elevation and depression—and moved onto bearings problems using extension exercises from class.

In Year 11, Sophie revised theoretical versus experimental probability as well as relative frequency questions in preparation for her upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student consistently crossed out mistakes in their notes rather than leaving visible corrections, which made it harder to track where errors occurred and slowed review.

In a Year 10 probability lesson, messy written work meant "the working was too hard to read back on," making it difficult to check answers or revisit solutions later.

A senior English student preparing an assignment avoided linking points back to the topic sentence and left structure incomplete, reflecting reluctance to engage with feedback about argument clarity.

For one junior primary learner, forgetting home reading slowed progress with unfamiliar words and sounds.

Recent Achievements

One Potts Point tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitancy, now comes prepared with her own list of problem areas—last session, she worked through bearings and probability questions on her own initiative.

Another high school student, Martina, used to rely heavily on worked examples but recently solved algebraic fraction problems independently without looking back at notes—a clear shift towards independence.

In Year 3 English, a student who struggled with past tense verbs is now confidently creating his own sentences using new spelling words and correctly adding '-ed' endings when prompted.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes l'm happy at the moment and Sebastian seems to like Kate. She comes and gets straight into it then finishes off with a brief summary of what they have been doing. Which is great. At the moment Sebastian has only had three sessions, so still too early to tell. However there was a day at school when they did some Maths and he said he found it much easier, which is fantastic to hear.

So far so good.  Zachary and Gabriella seem to have a good rapport and I have noticed that Zac is working more confidently.  It's early days though, so time will tell when his grades start coming through. Gabriella is a lovely young lady and we are happy having her as a tutor.

We have been very happy with Lawrence.  He has been patient and on time every time.

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 Kings Cross Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's College.
