English Tutor Lawson, ACT
I think the most important thing about tutoring is not about sharing knowledge, but about sharing my passion for the subjects with the students because when I was a high school student, I was lost and did not know what to do or why I was studying those subjects, then my private mentor inspired me with his passion for the subjects (maths and…

Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Being empathetic and compassionate is the most crucial thing an english tutor can do for a student. Every youngster learns at a different pace. A tutor must adjust to that speed by offering personalised learning. Additionally, a tutor can create a collaborative learning environment for the student that will enable them to build on their strengths,…

The most important thing I can do for a student is fill in the gaps that the teacher can't.

I love learning and like to share my enthusiasm with other…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is to step back wherever they can.

Tutoring is about guidance, as opposed to metaphorically…

Inside LawsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Angus revised quadratic equations, focusing on factorising using the sum-product and pairing methods, and reviewed his recent test for common errors.

Year 9 Zoe worked through expanding and simplifying surds as well as applying Pythagoras' theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems.

For Year 8 Liam, lessons included solving linear equations and understanding percentage-based word problems using real-life deposit scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Rushing was a major obstacle for the Year 10 student, especially in trigonometry—"his biggest enemy in testing is rushing through, which leads to careless mistakes," as one tutor noted.

In algebra tasks with a Year 8 student, skipping working made it hard to spot errors and explain solutions clearly; the right answer sometimes appeared but without supporting steps.

For a Year 6 student, confidence dips after setbacks meant he hesitated on times tables and needed encouragement to double-check his work.

When these habits crept in during revision or timed practice, understanding and retention suffered noticeably.

Recent Achievements

A Lawson tutor noticed that Angus, a high school student, has started working through non-monic quadratics with more independence—he now builds his own "cheat sheet" and tries problems solo after needing frequent reminders before.

Another high schooler, Amy, initially found continuous random variables confusing but kept asking questions during the session; by the end, she solved mean and median problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, Sam in primary school made a big leap with long multiplication: where he used to get stuck and need step-by-step help, this week he finished all his homework correctly on his own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you. So far so good. Sarah is very approachable and friendly, quick to respond to emails etc and has a great collaborative style. Jake, who was skeptical of tutoring, has found the first 2 sessions very useful.

Tammy is great.  She as a friendly manner and she is enthusiastic at every session. Lucy seems to like her and she has some great methods for teaching.  She engages Lucy and makes the sessions fun and interesting bringing things along to help Lucy understand what she is trying to teach her.  She is concentrating on what Lucy's weaknesses are while thinking ahead for Lucy for year 7. From  my observations of the sessions I think she will help Lucy enormously. I am very happy with Tammy to date and hope that she is happy to continue on with Lucy.

The tutoring with Shamir has been great so far.  Tyler is very happy with him and we can only look forward to an increase in Tyler's results through hard work and dedication. Shamir appears very dedicated to helping Tyler, which really shows through.  We are very happy with him so far.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like University of Canberra High School Kaleen.
