I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to help them learn all the material they must know, whilst going above and beyond to instill in them a love for learning which will ultimately help them to succeed later in life. My strengths as a tutor are my ability to listen to the questions being asked by my pupils and…

William
English Tutor East Ballina, NSW
I believe ensuring that a student truly grasps a new concept is the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student. One common way of proving this is to get the student to explain the new concept back to me. This then gives them confidence to tackle more complex problems. I believe my communication skills make me a good tutor. These…

Jasmine
English Tutor East Ballina, NSW
I think it's important for an english tutor to ask their students to think critically and to show encouragement with minor steps. I think patience and repetition are really important for tutors to display to their students. I also think it's important for a tutor to be honest about what they know or don't know. It is okay not to know the answer,…

Standard Inside South BallinaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
