Science Tutor Jamisontown, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to understand how a student learns and behaves, then processes information and implement teaching strategies accordingly to these behaviours. Creating a safe and positive environment for learning is imperative to a student's ability to properly process information as motivation is a key…

A tutor can make use of the two kinds of experience he/she has. Firstly as a current/former student himself, he can impart a deeper and thorough understanding of the subject keeping in mind the future academic curriculum and its practical applications. Secondly his experience as a tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in the…

Science Tutor South Penrith, NSW
Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

Facilitate the growth of a student to allow a student to reach their full potential, which means giving 110% at all times for the student. I also believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be flexible and approachable, so that tutoring is a positive experience which further allows students to flourish.

Science Tutor Cambridge Park, NSW
Help them gain interest in what they're trying to study/learn. The problem with kids not wanting to learn isn't because the subject is hard, usually it's because they have no interest in the subject whatsoever. There's always a way to show someone the appeal of every single subject. It can be hard but it's very possible and many teachers and…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Inside LeonayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alexia focused on mastering the area and circumference of circles, as well as tackling composite shapes like kites and trapezoids in preparation for an upcoming test.

In Year 10, lessons with Shivani included a deep dive into Pythagoras' Theorem using targeted worksheets and also explored the properties of angles through hands-on problem sets.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student worked through advanced calculus concepts, specifically rates of change and integrals, alongside revising probability topics such as distinguishing between independent and non-mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

Home practise is essential to build a foundational knowledge of every topic. A Year 10 student was encouraged to practice more at home, as without this, reminders were needed on previously covered material during sessions, which slowed progress.

In Year 12 Maths, a pattern emerged: when setting up series or using calculus, the student hesitated to plan solutions independently and often relied on hints before recalling key steps.

For HSC Physics, one senior student's attention drifted when not actively involved in calculations—leading to gaps in understanding that lingered until he was prompted to lead parts of the lesson himself.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leonay noticed Alistair now takes the initiative to write out full calculus equations and uses his formula sheet independently—just weeks ago, he'd hesitate unless prompted.

Meanwhile, Josh (Year 11) shifted from quietly following along to actively questioning unfamiliar terms during lessons on pKa values; this change helped him clarify key concepts on his own.

At the primary level, Alexia initially struggled with dividing algebraic equations but, after practicing aloud and working through targeted examples, managed to complete similar problems by herself before time was up.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Leonay Public School.
