Confidence is the most important thing an english tutor can bring to a student struggling with English. Knowledge and new skills can be taught to anyone, but a tutor should be able to instil a confidence within student so they can bring these skills into their learning but also into their everyday life. This is achieved by building relationships…

The number one most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is make sure that the student builds a strong understanding of the content. There is a difference between knowing how to work out a problem, and why a problem is solved the way it is. I think that when you understand the why instead of just how it becomes very simple to…

A tutor should illuminate the skills, information and methodology on which academic excellence is predicated, thus enabling students to undertake work with confidence and awareness. The communication of this guidance -- and the guidance itself -- should be tailored to the individual's own needs. I am perceptive, patient, and good at articulating…

I think the most important things that you can give a student is confidence in their ability, willingness to ask questions and discipline to study. I am patient, observent and dedicated to my jobs. My weaknesses are that I am new to being a tutor, and a tendency towards…

Help them improve their grade so they can reach their goals. I used to be bad at mathematics to begin with so I can predict where a student might have problems and prepare a way to help them beforehand. I am also a people person thus I am quite comfortable interacting in one on one…

English Tutor Upper Sturt, SA
Allow the student to progress without barriers. The tutor should be able to pinpoint aspects of the student's work that require more focus. Keep the information tailored to this focus. I listen to the students and cater to their needs. I have a more complete understanding of my fields than most others do. I organise my tutoring and teaching…

Great initial one to one contact - named emails, not just from "Ezymath". Good support materials to read through and help understand expectations and requirements. Great tutor. Works brilliantly with my daughter, professional and prompt.

Inside Dorset ValeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jake reviewed solving quadratic equations and worked on finding x- and y-intercepts in algebraic problems.

In Year 10, Sarah focused on applying the sine and cosine rules for non-right angled triangles, along with tackling probability questions using online resources.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas completed a psychology assignment analyzing research methodology and began drafting his research project proposal, emphasizing planning and critical thinking skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's algebra work showed skipped steps and missing units, which made it hard to spot where sign errors crept in.

In Year 11 Chemistry, failure to show working and forgetting units led to confusion during multi-step calculations.

An English assignment for a Year 9 student revealed that sentence structure issues interrupted the flow of ideas—paragraphs lacked clear topic sentences, making arguments harder to follow.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 research project stalled when referencing was incomplete; as one tutor noted, "Backing up facts with sources was inconsistent," leaving some claims unsubstantiated and impacting the final analysis.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dorset Vale noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely on hints now confidently explains equation changes and takes the lead in solving unfamiliar problems.

In a recent Year 9 session, a student who previously struggled with surd simplification began tackling questions independently after just one walkthrough, showing real initiative.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student gave a detailed recount using literary devices for the first time—something they'd hesitated to attempt before—and even asked for feedback on their word choices.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
