Modern History Tutor Penrith, NSW
When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

Modern History Tutor Penrith, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for the student is help uncover their learning style, improve their skills, build confidence in a student and improve their study skills. It is essential for tutors to build a good rapport and advance students' growth and success. I'm organised and have strong time-management skills, which are important…

Throughout my life my parents, tutors and mentors pushed me to get the best marks I could. Despite my marks consistenly being above average, I did not retain the crammed knowledge after exam. It wasn't until I experimented with multiple study techniques that I discovering how to understand knowledge instead of simply repeating the textbooks. I can…

Tutor is going really great. My son improved a lot in division just after the 2nd week. And Lidya, she's fantastic. I would highly recommend it to any of my friends who needs a tutor for their child.

Inside LapstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alexia worked on multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions as well as simplifying these equations using worksheets in preparation for an upcoming test.

For Year 9, Ethan practised classifying like terms and interpreting frequency tables alongside constructing dot plots and histograms to strengthen his statistics skills.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia focused on quadratic equations—both simplifying them and solving related problems—while also tackling simultaneous equations during her session.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, one student did not bring the previous two test papers to tutoring—this slowed feedback on their exam strategies and meant "I gave her already" extra copies instead of focusing on new material.

For a senior student working on proofs, the tutor noted over-reliance on written notes rather than attempting problems unaided, which made efficient recall difficult under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, in a Year 8 session on fractions, homework was set but completion is still unconfirmed for next week; practice outside lessons is essential for consolidating these skills before moving onto mixed-number operations.

Recent Achievements

A Lapstone tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who, after previously hesitating with expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions, now tackles bracket expansions on his own and checks his work for accuracy.

In Year 9, another student who used to overthink percentage problems has started working through multi-step calculations without pausing to double-check every answer—she's trusting her process more each week.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student showed new independence by recalling and applying last session's lesson on fractions without any hints, then finished the set of fraction word problems entirely solo.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I was very happy with your service and team. I was fortunate to have met two tutors and both were reliable and most importantly helpful.  I came to you as I was attracted to your approach and no upfront fees or contracts....you pay for what you receive at very competitive rates.   I was particularly impressed with your assessments and reports. The communication is outstanding between client and company as well as tutor and client. I would highly recommend your service. Gabie got to where she needed to and at this stage is doing very well. If she will require any further assistance you will be our first call. Many thanks for everything so far.

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lapstone Public School.
