Get them feeling comfortable with the fundamentals of what they are struggling with and create a deep-level understanding of the topic. Most importantly, teach them how to think, not what to think. This will give them the cognitive tools that they can apply to future problems. Patience and empathy. I understand everyone learns differently and…

Tutors should not be someone that a student can rely on to complete homework or assessments for them. The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to help them help themselves through assistance and guidance, teaching them the know how of becoming an independent learner so that the student is able to achieve at their own pace. I am…

Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

I can understand the children mentality and this…

Inside Lake HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla practised simplifying fractions and applying the order of operations, along with converting numbers to percentages using real-life examples.

For Year 11, Tom focused on algebraic manipulation and interpreting survey data in worksheet exercises, while Noah worked through statistics concepts such as mean and standard deviation by tackling targeted homework problems.

Year 12 student Natalia reviewed function properties like domain and range, then explored transformations within functions using a mix of textbook questions and discussion.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student reviewing algebra and linear functions repeatedly relied on solved examples, rarely attempting questions independently—"he needs to practice by himself the same questions," a tutor noted. This led to shallow understanding, especially before exams.

In Year 11, a student working on data analysis and measurement often forgot formulas between sessions because materials were not reviewed immediately after lessons.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, one child's sums were sometimes incomplete due to distraction and fatigue, with missed steps when tired.

For a Year 7 learner, forgetting feedback from previous sessions meant mistakes reappeared in multiplication drills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Lake Heights noticed a real shift with Evie, a Year 9 student who used to hesitate when translating worded statements into algebra—after some targeted practice, she started working through these problems on her own without prompting.

Meanwhile, Zane (Year 11) showed new initiative by tackling chapter exercises independently at home and then coming to sessions ready with specific questions he wanted help on, a big change from waiting passively for guidance.

For a younger win, Chantel in Year 4 completed her homework error-free for the first time after struggling with long addition last term.

Norina has been fantastic. Emma and Norina have hit it off and have started to build a great rapport.

Steven has seen great benefit from the tutoring he has received from Robert these past months. His grades and his confidence in Maths has improved tremendously. Thank you so very much for the wonderful service you have provided. Robert is fantastic and Steven worked really well with him and actually would look forward to his Tuesday lessons!

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 Warrawong District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warrawong High School.
