The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient with them and be prepared to explain things multiple times and from different angles. This ensures information retention is kept high and the student's self-confidence is improved. My strengths as a tutor include my ability to explain concepts in language that is easy to…

To understand what my students strengths and weakness are and to approach on as a senior or superior but as a co-worker as we are both learning and adapting to problems that we face together. I'm easy going, not too strict, understand the stress of school and won't pile on the homework but still ensure enough to prove that my students understand…

Over the years, I have developed the opinion that the teaching of transferable skills - contrary to only what is needed at the moment - is most valuable for the student’s future development. It is important to see that just completing the mandatory homework will not suffice, the real challenge is to change the mindset. As a good tutor, one has…

I consider above all listening to the student and what they do and don't understand to be most important, in order so that I as a tutor can direct my attention and teaching where it is needed most. In terms of long-term goals however, I consider instilling the student with diligence, resilience and a mentality to succeed in the future to be the…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

I consider empathising with the student the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. I have also been in the student's position before so I want to make my students feel that they are not alone in this and that many others also who struggle with the same issues and questions. I think that my greatest strength as a tutor is perseverance…

To make the students be clear of the basics which helps the students in the long run and also to be polite with them as not all students have the same level of understanding, and each student has different pace at which they learn so we need to give them as much time as possible to learn better. I am very patient with the children; I use different…

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

We have had 2 Tutoring lessons with Ishita so far and we are very happy. Ishita is a delightful and intelligent young woman and Emily and I felt comfortable the minute we met her. She is quite an effective tutor and we look forward to get continuing her tutoring of Emily. Thank you for your support.

My Granddaughter, Ava, is very comfortable & happy with her tutor, Mihika. Also, myself & Avas Mother are happy with Mihikas cheerful, pleasant manner & punctuality. I will be continuing the tutor lessons as we're very happy with Mihika & some improvement with Ava so far.

Yes - Bailey is happy with Reshmi. She's good at explaining how he should be breaking down the question in order to get the answer for the problem. As he only has less than 2 months before the HSC they've been working on a plan to get Bailey to work on and improve his maths.

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.
