English Tutor Isabella Plains, ACT
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the…

To compliment and reinforce what a student is learning in their school. A tutor could even broaden their student's knowledge outside the classroom, and due to the more communication-based nature of tutoring as opposed to learning in class, an english tutor could potentially spark inspiration in their students for what they are learning. Patience…

I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues.

Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers). During my studies I balanced full time work and full time university, this taught me to have excellent time management skills and really appreciate the value of…

A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

Inside TheodoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack focused on multiplication strategies and division algorithms, practicing efficient written methods for both.

In Year 8, Olivia worked through linear equations by solving for unknowns and also tackled simultaneous equations using substitution techniques.

For Year 10, Ethan concentrated on quadratic equations—solving them by factorising and applying the quadratic formula—with attention to when each method is most effective.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student hadn't completed any extra exam revision between sessions—building independent study remains a hurdle. "Jay wasn't completely caught up on the recent classwork," noted one tutor, which led to gaps in session focus and meant time was spent re-covering old ground instead of advancing.

In Year 7 maths, messy written work and skipping working steps when solving equations made it hard to spot errors; as one tutor put it, "formatting of solutions and backchecking needs working on."

A Year 3 student's homework was often incomplete or incorrect but done correctly when supported in person—highlighting a need for more consistent independent practice at home.

Recent Achievements

One Theodore tutor noted that a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to speak up, now confidently asks questions when algebra steps don't make sense and even requests harder problems.

A high schooler preparing for exams took real initiative by writing out problem-solving steps on cards to review later—something she hadn't done before—which helped her tackle simultaneous equations more independently.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, one student who used to struggle with angles can now consistently measure any angle with a protractor and explains her process aloud as she works through geometry problems.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Anthony sat his final Maths exam today and I would like to thank you and especially Jonathan for his efforts and restoring confidence in my son's ability in sitting his exam.

Stella did an excellent job tutoring Tori for her HSC and at this stage we think she did reasonably well in the exam

I want to thank you so much, as Zoe has been so amazing. Ella has loved learning from her and I hope that if we come back next year we can request her.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Theodore Primary School.
