Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence. I grew up with 4 younger siblings (the youngest is now 6), exposing me to how children are at different stages of life. How they learn and think, what motivates them. 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: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

Every student has different knowledge and ability. The most important thing to do as a tutor is to have the skill and patience to guide these students using what they previously known.

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

One of the important things, is inculcating love for learning. This includes addressing a student’s doubts while encouraging them to ask more, without making them feel embarrassed or self-conscious. Additionally, making real-life connections to certain topics while tutoring helps the student value its relevance in day-to-day life. As a tutor, I…

Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way.

Inside LambtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe focused on algebraic techniques, reviewing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of terms, then progressed to solving equations involving pronumerals on both sides and basic quadratics.

For Year 11 student Erika, sessions included calculating shares and dividends as well as working through biology content such as drawing Punnett squares for various inheritance patterns and practicing DNA profiling examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jackson concentrated on trial exam revision by tackling questions from networks, bivariate data analysis, financial maths (including compounding interest), and normal distribution applications.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Maths, one student completed only about an hour of weekly study outside class and often left homework unfinished, especially when lacking confidence with Year 11 financial maths or annuities content. As a tutor observed, "he explained it was because of lack in knowledge to complete the questions."

In test review sessions, this same student took 40 minutes on multiple choice, which reduced available time for extended responses.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes skipped homework and needed reminders to practice place value and times tables at home—missing out on valuable reinforcement between lessons.

Recent Achievements

One Lambton tutor noticed Jackson, a Year 12 student, is now tackling complex band 5–6 maths questions with little assistance—he used to need step-by-step help and often missed key parts of questions, but after working on exam strategies like underlining data and circling verbs, he's making far fewer errors.

Erika in Year 11 has started asking insightful questions during biology sessions, especially about genetic mutations and inheritance patterns; she used to be much quieter and hesitant to share her thinking.

Meanwhile, Chloe in Year 8 completed all her science assessment tasks independently for the first time, even redrawing her graphs neatly without prompting.

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 Lambton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John's Primary School.
