I've seen a range of different learning styles and understand that one size does not always fit all. So I believe that being able to present and teach students to see things from different perspectives will help with their understanding. Encourage a growth mindset: I feel that it is very easy to trap ourselves in a fixed mindset when we are faced…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is be able to track how they are going and excelling or developing in while they are being tutored. Either having a log or an online log for them to track to see how they are going and checking in with them at the beginning of each session to see how they are developing so they know…

Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most.

I think helping students understand how to approach a question and learning how to discipline themselves is the most important. Constantly reminding them to complete their homework so we can go over their mistakes next time is also important in establishing a routine and will hopefully give them an incentive to do the same with school. I believe I…

My daughter and I are both very happy with Thibault. She has only had one session with him but said he was good at explaining and he was able to answer her questions. He was also encouraging, punctual and very polite. We are very happy to continue with him.

Inside RiverwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily worked through negative and fractional indices as well as reviewing measurement concepts like area and volume in preparation for an upcoming topic test.

For Year 10, Jacob focused on revising functions—specifically cubic curves—and practiced curve sketching using assignment-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 3 student Raeed explored subtraction strategies by counting backwards and compared numbers up to the thousands using greater than and less than symbols.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student tackling trigonometry struggled to select the correct rule in multi-step problems; "highlighting key words helped, but remembering formulas was still a hurdle."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student repeatedly skipped writing working for algebra, which led to confusion and small errors that took extra time to trace.

For one Year 7 student, forgetting to bring notes meant missing connections between lessons—she found herself unable to apply previous strategies when new worded questions appeared.

After setbacks on past paper questions, a Year 10 learner hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without guidance, leading to slower progress and shaken confidence.

Recent Achievements

A Riverwood tutor noticed Liam, a Year 12 student, now tackles advanced trigonometry questions without any help—he used to need frequent hints but recently completed several HSC problems solo and could explain each step.

Charlotte in Year 11 has started breaking down complex multi-step financial maths tasks on her own, using strategies like "talking aloud" and back-checking her work instead of rushing or skipping steps as she did before. She is now working independently.

Meanwhile, Matthew in Year 3 is not just solving worded problems faster; he's begun identifying which operation to use himself rather than waiting for prompts from the tutor. This new independence stands out.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

This all seems to be going really well. We are very happy with James and his reliability, knowledge of the area and approach to tutoring.

We are happy with Taylor. Emilie gets on well with her and they work well together. Taylor is keeping the work current and relevant.

thanks for your note.  Things appear to be going well with Andrew.  He is a very polite and professional young man and he seems to get on well with Matthew.

English tutoring in Riverwood

From basic grammar, vocabulary and spelling right up to creative writing, textual analysis and essay structuring. Each student learns at their own pace and inevitably each student will develop their own unique set of difficulties throughout the course of their schooling. The trouble at school often happens with a mismatched English teacher or a distracting classroom environment. Either way, it is quite usual that at some point most students need a bit of extra help. A temporary period of private English tutoring enables a student to receive help with their specific challenges, to clean up their weaknesses. Often the tutor sheds light on what the real challenges and their causes might be too. Whether we're playing "catch up" or trying to move ahead of the class, tailored 1-on-1 support works, that's why it's so popular.
