The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and observe. Rather than provide a pre-packaged set of examples based on the subject matter, a tutor should tailor their sessions to each individual so that learning can be maximised. A tutor needs to listen to the needs of the student and work with them to find out where that…

By making learning fun and relatible students can see the benefits of learning the content.

Helping people understand why learning is important to them. Kids can find it hard to see why what they're learning is important.

And we should also encourage our student to try, even if they get the wrong answers, because practice makes the perfect.

Inside LilydaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sara worked on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and completed a data collection task for school.

In Year 9, Josh focused on solving trigonometry problems including bearings, as well as revising index laws to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Codi revised circular functions in preparation for an exam and practiced applying Pythagoras' Theorem to worded problems using diagrams for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student showed a tendency to avoid writing out working for multi-step algebra, leading to missed sign errors—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 11 calculus, one student's anxiety about time meant they often didn't check their induction proofs, repeating mistakes instead of learning from feedback.

For a Year 6 learner, over-reliance on calculators in times tables practice limited progress with fraction simplification.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student became discouraged by test marks and lost confidence when confronted by unfamiliar worded problems; this hesitation slowed attempts at problem-solving during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Lilydale noticed that a Year 10 student who previously relied heavily on her calculator is now confidently performing more mental calculations, especially when simplifying surds and working with indices.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student has started explaining his reasoning out loud during algebraic problem-solving—something he used to avoid—which often helps him catch mistakes before moving on.

In the primary years, one student who would rush through arithmetic tasks is now self-checking her answers and taking time to draw diagrams for fraction questions, resulting in more accurate work and fewer errors.

What they say about our tutoring

Steven is enjoying his tutoring and is very comfortable with Robert.  It's still early to tell, but Steven's confidence in Maths has definitely been lifted! Thank you

Thanks for your email. Tamara is very happy with Jessie. He is organised, well prepared and able to teach. Tamara had mathematic test at school and her results were very good.  She was sitting on 50.7%, and following tutorials and practice afterwards her score was 67%. She is very hard working student willing to improve and as parents we are very happy with Jessie as tutor to help Tamara to reach expected goals. Thank you!

Thanks for the email and yes Tannishka is very happy with Ryans tutoring. He is already showing signs of improvement.

Local Spots for Tutoring
