Software Dev Tutor Kingswood, NSW
One of the most important things I've learned while being a student within a tutoring institute is to carry out my learning indepedently. This is most prominent when studying in university when tutors are scarce and its up to you to manage your time. Learning is also really important even in the industry, particularly in software when the world is…

Local Reviews

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

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

We are very pleased with the tutoring and Nafuil is a very pleasant young man and easy to talk to. I was a bit concerned that Autumn might be a bit shy with him but she really likes him and all is well. Nafiul has advised that Autumn only has small gaps in her knowledge and he is assisting her with gaining this knowledge.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

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.
