If you are an english tutor, your job is to empower other people. Even if you are picking up blind spots, asking a student to paraphrase something, or advising more research in a particular area, there are ways to convey this information that are encouraging and helpful, (rather than condescending). We all have blind spots, too. I have found…

Inside WestlakeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Sanvi focused on refining her chemistry assignment rationale and analysis, then practiced exam-style questions on acid-base equilibria and buffer solutions.

In Year 11, Ethan reviewed the application of log laws to algebraic equations in math before switching to chemistry to explore VSEPR theory and its impact on molecular shape using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya completed revision on Pythagoras' theorem with targeted practice problems and wrapped up her work on algebraic expressions by solving index law questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student avoided writing out solutions in algebra, often saying, "I can do this in my head," which led to sign errors that went unnoticed until revision.

A Year 11 chemistry student was reminded to "clean up the rationale" and follow the given structure, as messy formatting made it hard to locate key arguments during peer review.

In senior maths (Year 12), over-reliance on calculators for logarithmic equations meant basic log laws were not committed to memory—this slowed progress on non-calculator tasks.

One younger learner missed assigned homework entirely, leaving foundational concepts unpracticed by next lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Westlake tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to leave assignments until the last minute now starting chemistry tasks early, giving her time to improve her rationale and make real links between concepts.

In Year 12 maths, a student who previously hesitated on practice exams has started attempting every question independently and can now derive and integrate complex functions with much less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed a shift from guessing at diagrams in problem-solving questions to drawing them out purposefully before working through each step—something he'd avoided before.

What they say about our tutoring

Nicholas seems happy with Gaj and already he is seeing improvements in his understanding of the maths topics he has covered.  Nicholas is more motivated with maths now and his confidence has improved greatly.

Graeme is happy with Gajith as it is great to have someone who can explain how to answer the question on the spot.

Thank you for the follow up email. Eden is already streaking ahead with the help of Nicole. She is great at what she does. Eden enjoys the tutoring sessions & feels comfortable with Nicole. Nicole is also very accommodating regarding upcoming tests etc & is willing & able to schedule additional sessions, if & when required. I am very happy with the progress so far.

English tutoring in Westlake

No one has doubts about the importance of English in the Australian school curriculum. Not only is it a mandatory subject to complete year 12, but it's a useful life skill. Verbal and written language skills are crucial in the information age. Comprehending texts, textual analysis, structuring written reports, refining creative processes and applying a structure to them, articulating thoughts concisely ... these skills are going to be useful in just about any career path. Of course, it all starts in the school classroom.

Maybe your child just needs to catch up to the class or work on some specific weaknesses or get ahead of the class. Whatever your needs, a tailored approach is what works best for most students so that they can as their English tutor questions in a safe, comfortable and non-rushed environment. That's how learning happens, and that is what we facilitate.
