As tutoring gives a more face to face approach, a tutor can do more than a teacher on some occasions for a student as they give more individual focus on each student's weakness and strengths. The most important thing I can do for a student is giving them the time, knowledge and hands-on approach others who cannot do that for them. Tutoring can…

To make the student comfortable enough. For example, when the tutor has explained something multiple times but the student still couldn’t grasp the topic, the student is still free to ask the teacher about the topic again. I am extremely patient and tend to begin with the chapters that are related to the next one. This way, the student doesn't…

I believe it is important to ensure they understand their work thoroughly. To teach with ease, patience and understanding. Meaning - repeating oneself (if necessary) until they understand and are comfortable with their work. I also believe it is important to be encouraging and motivating, as I know that school work can be pressuring and students…

In my experience, the most important thing a tutor can do is to connect with a student's desire to learn and help them discover their passion for a subject rather than simply reading them a textbook and hoping they understand on their own. It should also be noted that a tutor should nurture a student's critical thinking skills by rewarding…

A student won't be able to learn with advice that isn't applicable to them, because everyone's capability to learn isn't at the same level. Gaining a…

I believe that tutors encourage students to study and learn new content, without this motivation many students cannot reach their maximum potential.

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.
