English Tutor Thornleigh, NSW
A tutor needs to genuinely want the students to learn out of every session and care for the students. The tutor needs to be 100% focused on every second of the session. I am very patient and able to adapt to student needs. I think I can assess character easily as well, hence I know how to set the pace in terms of teaching different…

I feel that encouraging students and pushing them to their full potential is so important. Some of the time, students aren't aware of what they are capable of and what they can achieve in their learning and I feel that paying attention to their strengths and areas of improvement allows them to recognise their potential. I am very passionate about…

I set up goals by coming up with strategies for individual sections, and giving students ways to measure how well they’re implementing the strategy. Implementing these strategies successfully on homework is a short-term goal, on practice tests are intermediate goals, and on their live exam is a long-term goal. It is fine if students are slow to…

I have tutored before and have a…

Local Reviews

Communication has been prompt and easy. Tutor sourced and started quickly. Lovely tutor gets on well with my daughter.
Sharon Watkins, Turramurra

Inside TurramurraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack focused on consolidating subtraction and division, identifying these as areas for extra support while building confidence through arithmetic practice.

Year 10 Amy spent time reviewing a recent math test—clarifying mistakes in functions, probability, and integration—and then refined her comparative Module A English essay by strengthening structure and key paragraph elements.

For Year 11 student Lucas, the lesson centred on tackling probability trees and conditional probability before moving to advanced calculus concepts like interpreting first and second derivatives, using worked examples to target exam weaknesses.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, one student tended to feel overwhelmed by multi-step trigonometry and geometric series problems, which led to difficulty expressing solutions algebraically.

A tutor observed, "She gets stuck when questions are wordy and can't always break them into manageable steps."

In Year 9 English, responses sometimes lacked flow and coherence between sentences within a paragraph, making arguments less persuasive under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student often left out working in division or fractions—resulting in repeated calculations when errors arose mid-solution. The result: time lost retracing steps instead of building confidence with new material.

Recent Achievements

One Turramurra tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with logarithms—this week, he not only understood and applied the laws of logs but also spotted and fixed his own errors without prompting.

Another high schooler who used to get stuck on function questions began connecting first and second derivatives to the original graph's behaviour, showing real independence in tackling integration as well.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made the leap from guessing at word problems to confidently breaking them down and forming equations, finishing all his mental calculation tasks on his own.

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 Turramurra Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Northside Montessori School.
