The most important things that an english tutor must do for students is to always demonstrate patience and love towards them. It might take time for them to understand the lesson so you have to bear with them.

Identifying a student's weaknesses and strengths not only in a subject but in their general approach to life is very important. Honing strengths and working on weaknesses will allow tutors to tap into a student's potential. Deeply considering how and why a student is performing the way they are is also very important and allows changes to be made.…

In my opinion the most important thing an english tutor can do is make sure that the student truly understand the various concepts taught. That is because my belief is that by understanding the concept rather than memorising, you are less likely to forget how to do the question in the exam and/or get a mind blank As a tutor, I think my strengths…

Even if at first it seems impossible, by not giving up on them it can teach the student to always try and have faith in their abilities. The second thing is setting them up for success. By helping push them academically, the tutor can help the student get…

One of the most important things that an english tutor can do for a student is understanding and respecting them. So, tutors constantly need to actively listen to students and ask whether students have any doubt regarding the concept. Not all students understand concepts taught in the same manner, hence, tutors need to find innovative teaching…

Inside ShalveyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riley worked on solving inequalities and explored gradients in linear equations, practicing graphing techniques.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, then moved on to a chapter review focusing on BODMAS and fraction operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan concentrated on calculus skills—specifically differentiation—and also reviewed function properties by working through targeted exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled to focus during exams, leading to "a lot of careless mistakes"—missing marks in questions he otherwise understood.

In Year 7, one student overcomplicated simple fraction problems and sometimes forgot basic steps after missing class from an injury; this made catching up slower.

For a Year 8 learner, confusion with shape reflections grew each time the mirror line moved, leaving him frustrated mid-task.

Across multiple high school years, incomplete tutor homework was noted: "Requesting more consistency in completing tutor homework," which meant missed chances for targeted feedback before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Shalvey tutor noticed a Year 11 student stopped relying on graphing software for linear equations and now completes classwork on time—a big shift from earlier habits of hesitancy.

Another high schooler, previously making small errors with negative numbers, has recently shown real progress mastering mean, median, and mode; he even solved a harder median problem without needing hints.

In a primary session, Musawer—who often guessed angles before—now confidently adds them up independently and explains his steps out loud during practice.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chifley College Shalvey Campus.
