I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

To establish a good rapport with the student and parents. I incorporate Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking into all of my…

Teaching minds, touching hearts, transforming lives. Aside from the mastery of the subject being taught, developing a genuine bond between tutor and student, helping them apply or understand the gravity or importance of their study and why they should not take it for granted. In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

According to me, an english tutor must collaborate with his students to set realistic goals for them in the short as well as long term. Apart from that, a tutor should definitely empower students with effective study methods, time management strategies, and organizational techniques as it encourages them to develop independence in their learning…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

The most important and dire activity an english tutor can do for his/her student is to give all the 'tools' to not only pass but excel in their selected and even not selected subject. This give the students tips and tricks that cross all boundaries, in reference to studies, and allows them to apply it whenever they desire. Being able to mould and…

The most important things an english tutor can do are grow to understand the student so they can best help them. I think that if the tutor understands a student, if they have a strong rapport then they can identify a student's weak and strong points and work to solidify their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Although I have no formal…

I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…

Inside Tighes HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals and fractions, as well as rounding numbers up and down, using exercises from his school maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam.

For Year 10, recent lessons covered domain and range of functions—using simple graphs to visualise intervals—and solving simultaneous equations by rearranging formulas.

A senior student worked through financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating dividend yields for shares, alongside practicing simple and compound interest problems with real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Maths, a student's workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year"—messy layout slowed review of decimal multiplication and long division.

A Year 10 student struggled with confidence after a difficult practice test, losing track of which algebraic processes to use and mixing up rules; as the tutor noted, "Danika got a little confused with which processes to use and got them mixed up often."

In Extension 1 Maths, another student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without prompting, replying "I don't know" too quickly instead of problem-solving aloud. This reluctance left some trigonometry revision unfinished.

Recent Achievements

One Tighes Hill tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, now regularly prepares questions from class ahead of sessions—whereas before she'd just wait for help—showing real initiative in her learning.

In another session, Liz was able to explain tricky z-score problems back to the tutor and confidently justify her answers, which is a big shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up about her thinking.

With a Year 6 student, Lara showed new persistence by tackling harder times tables under timed conditions; she used to give up quickly but this time kept working until personal best of 32 correct answers in 100 seconds.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes - Bailey is happy with Reshmi. She's good at explaining how he should be breaking down the question in order to get the answer for the problem. As he only has less than 2 months before the HSC they've been working on a plan to get Bailey to work on and improve his maths.

We are very happy with Sheetal. Timothy is making great progress and we are happy to continue. We will have Tim do his Navy test in a few weeks and if we need to do a bridging course we will ask Sheetal to tutor him with that as well.

Mitchell is happy with the new tutor, thank you. Sean is a good communicator which makes Mitchell feel more relaxed thanks again.

English tutoring in Tighes Hill

Take a few minutes to skim through our testimonials. You'll no doubt feel a sense of surprise. People's experience shows that tutoring does so much more than just boost grades. It changes lives. Like most parents you are probably looking for an English tutor to help your child with some specific goal or challenge. However, with the right tutor, you get so much more. 

Once a student has the experience of progress and accomplishment they learn, and start to internalize, the idea "If I try, I can accomplish". This confidence often results in a performance improvement across all subjects, not just English and starts a student on the cycle of success. It's addictive too! Having a sense of confidence in one's own abilities is so rewarding!
