Of course, an english tutor is there for the student academically. However, the most important thing a tutor can provide is confidence in the students. Students who may not be achieving high marks might believe it reflects their self-worth. My job is to show them that it doesn't. As I'm currently a swim teacher, I have built the skills of…

The most important is to break the ice and make the student as comfortable as possible. It is important to communicate to the student that just because they do not understnd sometihing now, does not mean that they cannot improve and eventually understand. Another important factor is to consider the personality and learning preferance of the…

Making sure that the student is understanding what the tutor is explaining and keeping the student motivated, as there isn't much use of a student being tutored if they cannot understand or if they are not motivated. I am able to explain things in a way that are easy to understand, I help the student stay out of frustration and help them approach…

Local Reviews

Sen is an awesome maths tutor. He has been tutoring my son for over a year, first in year 11 (2022) and now in year 12 (2023). My son's math results are excellent and he is gaining more and more confidence with Sen's help.. Sen is always on time for tutoring sessions, and he has a calm way of explaining mathematical concepts in a logical way. He is professional, organised and friendly with excellent communication skills. Highly recommend him as a maths tutor.

Inside Lamb IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Taylor focused on spelling correction and reading aloud to boost comprehension, also practicing with prefixes and suffixes.

For Year 10, Jarred tackled questions involving factorising algebraic expressions as well as trigonometry and bearings using targeted practice sets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nisha concentrated on annuities and loan repayments through step-by-step financial mathematics exercises, finishing off by reviewing simple and compound interest calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student hesitated to ask questions in class, making it hard to clarify confusing annuities problems; as one tutor noted, "she mentioned difficulty asking questions in class."

In Year 10 maths, skipping written steps when rearranging equations led to sign errors that slowed progress.

A Year 8 student only practiced familiar types of Pythagoras and area problems, avoiding more challenging worded tasks and missing out on deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner still relied heavily on counting with fingers for addition instead of building number fluency—extra time went into basics rather than tackling new content.

Recent Achievements

A Lamb Island tutor noticed Taylor, a high school student, becoming more independent with each maths question—where she once waited for prompts, she now tackles problems solo and only checks in if stuck.

In another session, Jakob, also in high school, made the switch from needing step-by-step guidance on annuities to independently solving practice questions by lesson's end.

Meanwhile, Claira (Year 2) used to rely heavily on finger counting but has begun completing double- and single-digit addition sums faster and with much less hesitation than before.

Last week, she worked through a full set of multiplication problems without stopping to ask for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Alec is really enjoying his sessions with Matt. He finds Matt funny and easy to get along with. Alec tells me he has already started learning things he didn't know. We are very happy so far with Matt.

James has started very promisingly with Daniel which is great and I think even in the short space of time they have been together James is beginning to feel more confident with Daniel and his Maths in general.

Miranda is a wonderful, professional and patient tutor. The first day Marcus met her he opened up to her and feels really comfortable. He is so happy and enjoys tutoring.I think Miranda is a great fit for Marcus .

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 Russell Island Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like MacLeay Island State School.
