I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

The most important things a tutor can do are grow to understand the student so they can best help them. I think that if the tutor understands a student, if they have a strong rapport then they can identify a student's weak and strong points and work to solidify their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Although I have no formal tutoring…

I believe connecting with the student and understanding what their specific learning style and needs are is one of the most important things. One size does not fit all, that's the reason they're getting tutored in the first place because the school setting is not enough. Getting along and figuring out what works for them is key.

Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence.

I also received a band 6 in HSC advanced mathematics,…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths:

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing.

Inside LakelandsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 9 student Tiffany completed a maths skills assessment to identify priority areas for support.
In Year 10, Ethan focused on financial mathematics, tackling topics such as calculating wages, salaries, and understanding gross versus net pay through real-life examples.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia worked through quadratic equations using both the quadratic formula and completing the square, building fluency with step-by-step practice on exam-style questions.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student preparing for HSC exams has been submitting written responses that are "too shallow," with missed opportunities to show deeper understanding—especially in formal exam-style questions.
In Year 9, a student's algebra work revealed confusion when negatives were combined; as noted, "he needs to watch out for double negatives when adding and subtracting."
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner hesitated to write down working steps in multiplication tasks due to lack of confidence, slowing progress during practice. This reluctance meant longer problem-solving sessions and persistent uncertainty after feedback was given.
Recent Achievements
A Lakelands tutor recently noticed a big shift in one Year 10 student's approach to financial maths: after weeks of struggling with worded problems, he now breaks them down independently and accurately plugs numbers into equations without prompting.
In another high school session, a student who previously hesitated to ask for help with indices started speaking up when confused, making it easier to fill knowledge gaps on the spot.
Meanwhile, a younger learner who was unsure about shape names at first is now confidently identifying all main 3D shapes and even explained the difference between prisms and cubes without any hints.
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 Warners Bay High School.
