Having been a student myself, the greatest feeling when coming away from my tutor was a feeling of relief and greater understanding. I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is simply make them feel more confident in approaching and applying concepts to questions. I believe my strengths as a tutor would be my…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

As an english tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career.

Relate. The student will understand the concept once it resonates with something the student is interested in. A tutor needs to describe the concept, demonstrate the concept and invite the student to attempt the concept.

Inside WooloowinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jess reviewed taxation maths missed during class and revisited surd and indices, focusing on rule recall and application.

In Year 10, Jackson practised projectile motion calculations in physics and worked through a practice test covering electromagnetism, interpolation, and extrapolation.

For Year 11, Olivia tackled monic and non-monic quadratic factorisation and solving equations, using targeted problem sets to consolidate her understanding of different methods.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly left homework unfinished, explaining, "could not find book"—this meant vital practice with equations and algebra was missed.

In Year 8, messy working made it difficult to spot calculation errors when factorising quadratics; as a tutor noted, "legibility and setting out of working" limited progress on harder problems.

A senior chemistry student showed over-reliance on notes instead of recalling formulae during molar concentration tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 7, confidence dips after setbacks led to hesitancy in tackling worded ratio questions—long pauses before starting each part, even when the steps were familiar.

Recent Achievements

One Wooloowin tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously rushed through homework now taking time to check each step, catching her own mistakes on practice tests instead of waiting for help.

In Year 10, a student who used to avoid class participation began asking for tougher questions after finally mastering simultaneous equations by substitution—something he'd struggled with all term.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who once hesitated to start assignments is now gathering evidence and setting out answers independently; last session she finished her worksheet without any prompting.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wooloowin State School.
