The skill of empathy towards a student is possibly one of the most important things a tutor should be equipped with, in that they need to recognise that while you're an expert on the material, the student is learning it for the first time. Thus, tutors like myself need to be able to present concepts that the student can understand, i.e., using…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is aid them in being confident enough to always attempt a problem.

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction.

Local Reviews

We were all very impressed with Trent, Tamoe in particular. He was very patient and sought out a real connection with Tamoe. This really helped to get Tamoe to focus and listen. Tamoe is very keen to book in more time with Trent when school goes back.

Inside LakembaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Steven focused on revision questions provided by his school, including algebra and earlier topics for consolidation.

In Year 10, Yara worked through probability problems and tackled data analysis questions using examples from recent classwork.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student completed addition and subtraction with 4-digit numbers, practising mental strategies and written methods to build accuracy.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's lesson revealed that time management is a major obstacle—"we just need a bit more time to explain and understand harder concepts," noted one tutor, highlighting how rushed explanations left gaps in understanding advanced algebra.

In Year 7, skipping written working in division and multiplication ("doesn't write all working down") led to small errors compounding, making review difficult and costing marks.

Meanwhile, a primary student avoided asking for help when unsure about fractions, finishing work but hesitating to communicate confusion until prompted. Each of these moments resulted in missed learning opportunities or extra correction time.

Recent Achievements

One Lakemba tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to speak up, but now clearly voices when she's confused about trigonometry problems—making it easier to address tricky steps together.

In another session, a Year 9 boy who used to get stuck quietly on two-stage probability questions started explaining exactly where he was lost, and even worked through tree diagrams independently after some guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student recently tackled long division without reminders for each step, showing he now remembers the full process and can check his own work before moving on.

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 Lakemba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Spirit Catholic College.
