A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

Biology Tutor Jesmond, NSW
I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

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…

A tutor needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

Encouraging students on questions they find difficult and nudging them in the right direction to solve problems so they can do it by themselves without requiring help. A tutor also needs to be reliable, so the student can go to them for help when they need it. I am patient, have a positive attitude towards helping others and can explain things in…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind. This is because, no matter how many hours are spent studying, if a student is not confident within themselves, in exam settings they will constantly doubt themselves and make avoidable mistakes. Therefore, building students confidence is the most…

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.
