The primary role, I believe, for a teacher is to guide students to the right direction. With all the progress in information technology, educational content is readily available for literally anyone willing to learn something. The key role, for a modern-day teacher, I feel is to help students understand what they might be looking for and how they…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things an english tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students.…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to motivate them and make them laugh, to be a buddy who happens to be helping them with their school work, to acknowledge them with current, expand their grasp of the concepts and can be a influence in some tangible, positive way, helping them make essential connections, or…

It is important that tutors take measures to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses within a subject and to ensure their advice is suited to these capabilities. Tutoring should directly meet a student's needs, rather than implementing a one size fits all approach. A tutor should also supply a student with resources and advice that will…

The single most important aspect for an english tutor is to be able to keep the student's attention; losing their focus implicates the loss of any further progress in the topic at hand and their faith in how much you can help them as a mentor. Maintaining their concentration throughout the duration of the session, while tiring at times, pays off.…

The most important thing in my opinion is helping the student understand the problem, simply completing the problem for them helps no-one. If a tutor can do this, then the student should be able to complete any problem. Secondly, I think that it is important to treat the student as if they are an equal. Students who require tutoring generally…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to give them the confidence to believe in their abilities in order for them to view themselves as capable enough to learn new things, work hard and perform their best. This starts with the tutor identifying the student's area of need and working hard alongside them to improve it.…

Inside ThomsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication, the long division method, and explored factors and highest common factors through practical examples.

For Year 9, Amy practised solving linear equations and worked through probability questions using frequency tables and bar charts to build her statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled calculus by revising chain rule differentiation and anti-differentiation, then applied integration techniques to find areas under curves with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to bring her school books and calculator, which made it hard to check her class progress or work on current tasks; as one tutor observed, "needs to try to remember to bring her books and calculator home so I am able to see where she is up to in class."

In senior Maths Methods, a Year 11 student hesitated with multi-step calculus questions due to second-guessing—she often paused even when her working was correct.

During test conditions, a Year 10 student's stress led to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge. This tension was clear when the clock started ticking.

Recent Achievements

Real initiative in preparing was shown by a Year 11 student who compiled all her notes into a summary sheet and confidently tackled new types of problems, something she'd hesitated to do before.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with anti-differentiation worked through tricky trigonometric integrals without making errors, even handling longer equations independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started paying close attention to tips on arithmetic and now tries out strategies unprompted, rather than waiting for help—last session, she solved all multiplication problems on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy so far with Joseph who has started teaching Thomas. He is keen to work with him and seems to be enjoying their sessions

Pippa is very happy with Dexter. Her tutoring style is very effective and Pippa had excellent results in her mid-year exams.

Sam's first session with Wahidah went really well. He really liked her and responded well to her teaching.

English tutoring in Thomson

Every student needs help sometimes, and often that help is needed in English. From basics like punctuation, spelling and grammar right up to narrative writing, proof reading and literary analysis. The Australian curriculum is thorough and there are various challenges that pop up for students over the years. At some point most students could use some help and an English tutor does just that - help! Ideally that help comes before the student has formed a negative cycle or fallen into a no-effort habit.

What we do is facilitate that help as a home service, we'll organise an in-home English tutor in Thomson, or wherever it is convenient for you.

English Tutor Thomson

A local Thomson English tutor will come to you at a time and day of your chosing and offer tutoring help in a manner tailored for your child's unique situation. The first lesson works as a trial so that if your child doesn't connect well with the tutor, you don't have to pay and we can organise someone else for you.

The terms of service are super simple too. No contracts or minimum hours or cancellation fees or anything like that. You get charged a simple hourly rate. That's it. 

Give us a try, it's a risk-free proposal. 1300 975 754

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tate Street Primary School Geelong.
