One of the important things, is inculcating love for learning. This includes addressing a student’s doubts while encouraging them to ask more, without making them feel embarrassed or self-conscious. Additionally, making real-life connections to certain topics while tutoring helps the student value its relevance in day-to-day life. As a tutor, I…

I believe an important component of tutoring is patience, ensuring that the student completely understands the topic before moving on. This leads into following up. Following up the previous session for a couple of minutes in the next lesson is highly beneficial as the student can show their understanding of the topic, allowing the opportunity to…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

The biggest thing an english tutor can do for a student is to be encouraging and respectful, cultivating a safe environment in which they feel that they can pose questions and share answers without fear of judgement. In doing so, it makes the intake of knowledge easier and an overall more enjoyable experience. A tutor must also show a genuine…

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…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

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…

According to me, a 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 journey.…

So far the tutor has connected well with my son to work out what he needs and I am pleased that as they work through the topics, the tutor regularly checks in to ensure my son understands the details of what they are working on.

Inside TomagoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Jack worked on basic multiplication skills and began exploring division using hands-on examples.

In Year 9, most of Emily's lesson focused on algebra—specifically solving equations and simplifying expressions to target her main area of difficulty.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia reviewed HSC exam questions from 2017, tackling advanced applications in both calculus and probability for targeted revision.

Recent Challenges

Confidence and exam pressure emerged as significant barriers in senior years. During a Year 12 standard maths test, one student "overcomplicated problems and stressed," leading to avoidable mistakes despite strong content knowledge.

In Year 11, another hesitated to attempt harder questions on the 68-95-99.7 rule, often second-guessing instead of working through uncertainty.

Several students, including in Year 7 algebra, avoided writing full working or used messy layouts—"Tyler's workbook…could be a little more organised and tidy"—which made it difficult to spot errors quickly during practice and revision.

Forgotten homework was noted for primary years; this led to missed opportunities for consolidation when tackling fractions the following week.

Recent Achievements

One Tomago tutor noticed a big shift with Tyler, a Year 7 student who previously relied on his calculator for algebra—he now attempts problems independently and shows his working without prompting.

Another high school student made strong gains in statistics: after struggling with rates and ratios, she can now solve these confidently on her own, even tackling tough exam questions that stumped her before.

In the primary years, one student who found telling time difficult is now completing worksheets unassisted and using clock visuals to explain 'past' and 'to' times during lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mathew and Phi are working well together. Phi is a lovely young man, very polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Phi as he is building a good connection with Matthew and has been very patient, repeating his instructions and challenging Mathew to think about what he is doing.

Adam is great, very professional, organised, genuinely cares and Conan really likes him and enjoys attending.

We are very happy with Ammar and how Caleb and Elijah are progressing.  Ammar is very reliable and a great communicator.

English tutoring in Tomago

Is your child preparing for an exam? Naplan? Final grade 12 exams? Are they just trying to keep up with the class? Do they have specific challenges with some topics? Or do they have specific weaknesses such as exam technique or making constant "silly mistakes"?

The value in a one-on-one private English tutor is that they can focus entirely on your child and organise lessons around their specific goals and challenges. With the right support mechanisms every student can succeed. And ... that success is often life-changing for students, it serves as undeniable proof that if they apply themselves they can achieve success where they previously failed. It's just about the best lesson a young person can learn.
