Tutor Leura, NSW
Firstly, a tutor can help students identify their weaknesses and then provide skills and strategies to overcome them. Secondly, it is important that the teacher instil self-confidence in the students, assuring them that they can experience success. I develop good relationships with my students and, I feel, they know that I can be trusted and will…

Tutor Leura, NSW
Some of the most important things a tutor can do is: create a positive and productive learning environment, provide strategies for critical thinking, and bring awareness to overall concepts of learning instead of focusing on a single assignment or test to foster ongoing success. I am patient and approachable. I want students to feel comfortable…

Be supportive and encouraging. Be flexible and willing to meet the student where they are at. I think it's good to be able to explain concepts in multiple ways and have a genuine passion for the subject at hand as this can be motivating for the student I am fairly knowledgeable and very patient with people. I have some experience interacting one…

At the end of a session, you want your student to understand the concept being taught, rather than blindly solving problems using formulae without understanding why. Targeting low-confidence areas: Most people like doing things they're good at but if you're already competent in those areas, you're just wasting time. This is why it's important…

I'd say the most important thing a tutor can do is present a subject's content in an accessible and positive way, as often this will help the student develop their own passion for the subject which is the most beneficial thing for their grades and academic experiences. I think my youth really helps me connect with kids and have versatility in the…

Being a form of support. Letting the student know it’s okay to make mistakes because that’s how we learn. It’s okay to make mistakes as much as it is to get it right. Getting things wrong is not easy to deal with but it’s also okay to feel your feelings. Be upset when things go wrong and celebrate your victories! I’m a friendly and…

Its important for a tutor to be able to instill confidence in their students, ensuring that they not only learn the content but are also confident with their knowledge. Furthermore a tutors favourite tool should be empathy, one should think about where students might get stuck on your teachings and how to prepare or improve your lessons…

Helping students expand their knowledge and understanding around a topic is a given in tutoring as that is what students are coming to see tutors in the first instance. However, I believe that as someone with great knowledge and wisdom, a tutor also has a responsibility to help students acquire the skills to grow and learn. I think a key aspect of…

Inside LeuraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava revised area and perimeter of circles and composite shapes, then practiced calculating surface area for prisms.

Year 8 student Felix focused on identifying strengths from a past assignment, followed by an introduction to basic algebra and reviewing powers.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Nicole worked through rational and irrational numbers—including converting decimals to fractions—and in English explored commonly misspelled word endings like "ent" and "ant," as well as the difference between "a lot" and "allot."

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to keep her maths book organised, often leaving out written working when tackling multi-step algebra questions; as a tutor noted, "showing working needs to become more of a habit." This made it harder for her to spot small sign errors and slowed down revision.

In Year 11 Financial Maths, one student missed a test due to poor engagement with online school and had difficulty using formulas without access to reliable materials.

Meanwhile, in Year 5, another child guessed at answers in shape identification tasks rather than applying mathematical reasoning, leading to repeated confusion between rhombuses and trapeziums during homework.

Recent Achievements

One Leura tutor noticed a real shift in Tahlia's approach: she came prepared with her own mind maps and targeted questions, and after struggling with the control of ovarian cycle hormones, was able to quickly explain how recombinant DNA is generated.

In Year 10, Nicole had previously hesitated to ask for help but now regularly checks her understanding during sessions—last week, she used teacher feedback to pinpoint errors in algebraic equations and could independently correct them.

Meanwhile, Lyla (Year 6) showed new persistence by reviewing her mistakes in probability problems and explaining her reasoning out loud before moving on.

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 Katoomba Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Leura Public School.
