I consider being empathetic and adaptive for students is highly important. Being empathetic of your students struggles and not putting them down for not understanding is the most important thing an english tutor can do for them to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in their learning. Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is help the student understand a topic. This may sound intuitive however it is often majorly overlooked and replaced with acceptance or shear memorisation for the student. What I want is for my students is a true understanding of the subject, giving them the tools of learning so that they…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way. Second, the tutor must consider the pursuits of the students as his/her own personal endeavor as…

I can build my students engagement with and appreciation of the subject (many students find school boring or purposeless and I make a point to spark more joy in learning by integrating key notes of relevance into every lesson). I will also assure students that it is okay not to understand something, or to feel unconfident. Struggling with…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is aid them in being confident enough to always attempt a problem. A great tutor helps a student to put aside the "oh no, I don't know what to do" thought or feeling and and least try to break the problem into something they do know how to do. My strengths as a tutor come in my genuine…

The skill of empathy towards a student is possibly one of the most important things a tutor should be equipped with, in that they need to recognise that while you're an expert on the material, the student is learning it for the first time. Thus, tutors like myself need to be able to present concepts that the student can understand, i.e., using…

We have no doubt the extra tutoring with Mina got Jamison over the line for a solid band 6.
Catherine, Strathfield

Inside Canada BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Blake practiced using the OREO structure for persuasive writing and built vocabulary through word association games.

Year 7 Charlotte focused on mastering factor trees to break down numbers and then used these skills to solve square roots of larger numbers.

In Year 9, Angelique revised algebraic expressions by expanding and factorising them in preparation for an upcoming test, working through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly forgot to submit homework, even after completing it—this left gaps in class discussion and slowed his writing progress.

As noted by a tutor, "he got distracted by his laptop during research tasks," which meant key questions were left unfinished.

In Year 10 English, a student rushed timed persuasive writing and missed important details, leading to weaker arguments under pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student skipped re-reading passages in comprehension tasks, causing her to miss vital information; she often answered from memory instead of checking the text, making mistakes that could have been avoided with slower reading.

Recent Achievements

A Canada Bay tutoring session saw one high school student shift from relying on reminders about BODMAS to independently solving all her mixed-operation maths problems by the end of the lesson.

Another older student, who previously hesitated with Pythagoras' Theorem, now confidently finds missing triangle sides and checks if a triangle is right-angled without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner moved from avoiding tricky homophones to spelling them correctly and explaining their meanings aloud, after initially expressing doubt.

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 Five Dock Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Concord High School.
