A tutor can give a student the confidence to work independantly. Teach students on improving their strengths and minize their weakness. Enable them to quickly understand and solve problems with strong basic knowledge. A tutor can help a student to set high expectations and work towards them, making their stuggle easier. I believe higher studies…

I believe it is highly important to listen to your students. All students learn in different ways, if the method used to teach the student is not effective it is very important to switch strategies in order to ensure the student gets the most out of the lesson. I want all my students to enjoy our sessions and see it to be beneficial to their own…

A tutor needs to be able to correctly relay information to the student and teach in an understandable way. It is crucial that you teach your student in the way they learn and do whatever needs to be done to help them. As well as this, you need to be able to set goals to work towards with your student so that the time spent with them is worthwhile.…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

It's really important to be patient and maintain an open mind. Every student is different andearns different topics at different rates. When I was young I put pressure on myself to learn every topic as well as my peers and at the same rate. This caused a lot of stress for me and made me feel inadequate if I wasn't able to meet my goal. I think…

I think the most important thing would be to truly listen to a student, not only to hear him/her, but to actually listen. Indeed, I believe a student will never improve if they don't want to. Thus, I think it is the tutor's duty to make the student interested in the subject, to make it fun and as easy as possible, and that goes through the…

Inside Lavender BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ava worked through challenging Maths Olympiad questions, revisited area of triangles with decimal and fraction multiplication, and practised finding unknown values using diagrams.

Year 8 student Mia focused on properties of quadrilaterals and triangles by applying congruency tests to homework problems, and briefly reviewed composite area questions from her school set.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam revised trigonometry ratios and tackled exam-style problems involving sine rule and non-right angled triangles for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, hesitation to attempt problem-solving questions—especially those involving algebra—sometimes led to deferring to decimals instead. "She seemed slightly hesitant to attempt the problem solving questions involving algebraic techniques," noted a tutor.

In a senior revision session, one student focused mainly on teacher-provided easy exercises and avoided more challenging graphing and congruency proofs, missing key opportunities for deeper learning.

Another high schooler's layout in geometry made it difficult to spot calculation errors until the end, slowing progress.

After setbacks or mistakes, reluctance to review test papers limited understanding of where improvements were needed most.

Recent Achievements

A Lavender Bay tutor recently saw a Year 10 student achieve a much higher Olympiad result than before, thanks to better time management and the ability to quickly review her mistakes—something she struggled with previously.

In Year 12, Charlie, who once hesitated with quadratic functions, now rapidly factors three-term equations and uses the quadratic formula independently.

Meanwhile, in Year 4, Xander has started solving division problems on his own using small toys for groups and even mastered multiplication facts like 4 Ă— 3 without relying on his table for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome.  Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man.  Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.

Hi Erica, everything good so far. Isaac is lovely and Adam appears to be relating well to him. He has had 2 recent Math tests and has seemed more relaxed about them so I think we're seeing some short term gains already.

Hi Erica, Yes all seems to be going well with Sean's tutoring. He responds well to Andy. Thanks

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cameragal Montessori School, North Sydney Campus.
