I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for their student, is tailor their teaching application to the student's needs and personality. Each individual is different, and there is no single one way of teaching. I believe students incredibly appreciate a teacher or tutor that will listen to their needs, and to see where their main…

Tutors must foster growth, independence, and a goal-oriented mindset so that each student can strive to overcome learning challenges, recognise their milestones, and identify any incompetencies in their work. This will ultimately strengthen their academic confidence, and allow students to grow from their mistakes. I have been able to adapt to a…
One of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is provide a deep understanding of the material being studied, and to explain it in such a way that the student remembers and understands. A good tutor must be able to tailor their approach to best help each student and facilitate a positive learning environment. The strengths…
I think an english tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make…
I think close support and motivation especially during their examinations is crucial. Making the student sharp by regular homework/assignments and making them fall in love with the subject and eventually learning are very important in my opinion. Identifying students strengths/passion and grooming them is another very imperative factor. I think…
A tutor must not tell a student how to do something, but show and allow them to learn it. Consequently, the student will be able to apply what they have learned through their own capabilities. Additionally, an english tutor should be able to infuse some interest in the subject even if the student finds no particular interest in the subject. This…

Teach and help them learn by listening to what it is that they need help with. Each student is different so developing an individual way with each one is very important as an english tutor.

In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
I am very pleased with Gabrielle and so is Thomas, so a great start.
Just having a mentor has boasted Thomas's confidence enormously and I listen to how Gabrielle communicates with Thomas and I am amazed.
Thomas is very happy.
I had one tutoring session with Tom and he was fantastic. Very easy to talk to and had clearly prepared before coming to see me. The exam that I needed his help to prepare for is this Thursday so I no longer need his services.
I have told Tom I will let him know how I went after the exam on Thursday.
We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job.
Thank you!
