According to me, an english 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…

Teaching minds, touching hearts, transforming lives. Aside from the mastery of the subject being taught, developing a genuine bond between tutor and student, helping them apply or understand the gravity or importance of their study and why they should not take it for granted. In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

To establish a good rapport with the student and parents. I incorporate Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking into all of my…

In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging 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…

English Tutor Mayfield, NSW
I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. 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…

Inside CardiffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Julian focused on geometry by reviewing faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes, then strengthened addition and subtraction skills with both two-digit and four-digit numbers.

For Year 10, Hannah tackled simultaneous equations using elimination and bracket expansion as well as simplifying surds and indices.

In Year 12, Priya concentrated on HSC Physics topics including the photoelectric effect, Einstein's postulates, and completed extended response questions about relativity.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student's test performance suffered due to time management during tests—they often rushed the last section, leaving answers incomplete.

A Year 10 learner frequently skipped showing working in algebra; as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 8, messy written work made it difficult to track mistakes when simplifying surds or handling negatives.

Meanwhile, an HSC candidate in Physics submitted responses that were "too shallow," with feedback left unaddressed between sessions. This led to repeated misunderstandings and a sense of frustration after each assessment result.

Recent Achievements

One Cardiff tutor noted a Year 9 student who previously skipped steps when tackling worded maths questions now carefully writes out every stage, which has helped him interpret tricky problems more independently.

A high schooler working on financial maths had been struggling with compounding period conversions but now reliably gets these right and even asks for extra multi-step practice.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who was initially unsure about shape names can confidently identify all the main 3D shapes without hesitation—last session, he even volunteered to teach his sibling how to tell a prism from a pyramid.

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 Cardiff Library, kuram—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cardiff North Public School.
