Building a student’s love for learning is the most important part of education. When they truly enjoy what they are learning, they naturally reach their highest potential academically. I’ve seen this hold true for every child I’ve worked with, regardless of where they are on the learning spectrum. My strengths as a tutor include an ability…

The vital thing a tutor can do for a student is to build up the student's confidence. It is also important to enhance the study skills of a student by teaching them in the methods that are easily understandable by them. When it comes to tutoring patience is a crucial thing.

Not only help them with understanding the concepts they are struggling with, but to also teach them problem solving methods so that they can be independent in the future.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to set the student up for success outside of the scheduled tutoring hours.

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is put himself in the student's shoes, analyse his situation and figure out his strengths and weaknesses and thus solve his queries by asking more questions and getting the answer out of the student himself rather than spoonfeeding him. As a tutor, I have a ton of strengths. I would list a few…

I think providing valuable insights and preparation is one thing, but having a set out progression plan for them is the best way to ensure success for the student.

In my experience, the most impactful tutors unlock potential by personalizing learning. We identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, then tailor our approach to bridge knowledge gaps. By celebrating "aha moments" and equipping them with study skills, we empower them to become independent learners, fostering a lifelong love of learning that…

Inside LarapintaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily reviewed solving simultaneous equations and practiced finding the equation of a parabola using given points.

Year 10 student Marcus worked on completing the square for quadratics and revisited factorising quadratic expressions with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Priya focused on probability concepts by constructing Venn diagrams and interpreting two-way tables to solve worded questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student left several homework tasks incomplete, particularly on trigonometry and algebra revision, which meant confusion lingered around positive and negative integers ("Homework needs doing and positive negative integers needs some work still").

In Year 11, over-reliance on the calculator during exams led to missed manual checking steps in fractions questions; as noted, "too reliant on calculator and does not try to work things out manually."

A Year 7 learner avoided attempting worded problems altogether, missing chances to build confidence with unfamiliar scenarios.

Meanwhile, a senior student began an assignment late, resulting in rushed planning and unfinished evaluation sections.

Recent Achievements

One Larapinta tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on assignments now takes initiative—last week, she completed most of her statistics project independently and even double-checked calculations before asking for help.

A Year 8 boy, who often guessed rather than asked questions, has started openly seeking clarification during lessons and was able to choose the right formula for surface area problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, in a recent Year 6 session, a student hesitant with algebra began tackling practice problems solo and correctly applied the distributive law on her own for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jack and Justin are getting along well. Jack seems to have to continued to improve since Justin started tutoring.

David did come over yesterday for a lesson with Kyle. Like you mentioned, he is a diligent and competent tutor with experience in teaching. He did put in a lot of effort even before he arrived to make sure he knew what he was dealing with. I am very happy and impressed with his teaching. Just wish we had found him earlier!

Carolina likes Deeba, whom she says is a gifted teacher, & continues to learn at what is to me an amazing rate.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Stephen's School.
