One of the important that an english tutor can do for a student is being a good listener. Before heading towards the subject content the tutor needs to listen to their students. We need to know their mood and level of understanding in order to continue. There is no use in continuing with the subject if the student doesn't understand anything, so…
As an english tutor, I firmly believe in the profound impact that effective education can have on a student's life. Drawing from my experience in teaching as a CSR activity, I recognize several essential aspects that I consider crucial in nurturing a student's growth and learning journey.

Besides the standard (delivering content, explaining concepts etc) I believe the absolute most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is provide 2 things.

Teaching them easy methods to a problem or to understand some material. Clarifying the students if they are struggling in a particular topic so that they eventually understand it.

The skill of empathy towards a student is possibly one of the most important things an english tutor should be equipped with, in that they need to recognise that while you're an expert on the material, the student is learning it for the first time. Thus, tutors like myself need to be able to present concepts that the student can understand, i.e.,…

I think the most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to have them gain confidence with themselves in terms of excelling in school.

I can build my students engagement with and appreciation of the subject (many students find school boring or purposeless and I make a point to spark more joy in learning by integrating key notes of relevance into every lesson).
I will also assure students that it is okay not to understand something, or to feel unconfident. Struggling with…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to help a student understand the syllabus of the subject and feel confident in answering any questions that can be in upcoming exams. I have finished my HSC only last year which allows me to understand the pressure students feel towards upcoming exams. This allows me to teach in a certain way that makes…

The most important thing a tutor can provide to a student is their time. It goes without saying that all children are different and learn through alternative ways/modes. Patience, perseverance and continual tailored support from a tutor is crucial in allowing a student to understand certain concepts. By having a tutor that is continually readily…
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.
What they say about our tutoring
Shay is really enjoying the tutoring and Ben is a great tutor. She is already improving in her maths, which was the objective. Shay even does her extra math homework without argument which is amazing . We look forward to working with Ben for the rest of this term and next year.
I would like to inform you that Paul did his last session with Vik on Sunday 11.Nov 2012. I have to mention that he did a fantastic job of teaching Vik the two subjects maths & physics, and also helping him understand how VCE works. Thank You for keeping me well informed about my son's progress. I would have no hesitation to recommend you & Paul to any of my friends or anyone who needs help from a tutor. Wishing you all the best in the future.
We are very pleased with the program to date. Stephen is a very nice young man and a good tutor. David our son enjoys his teaching style and tutoring.
