Modern History Tutor Lane Cove, NSW
Motivation and confidence are two key elements of student success, if I can support them in achieving a sense of self-efficacy regarding these elements, they are bound to see improvement. Students often know where they fall short in their work, they just need motivation to improve those areas. Once they know that they can achieve this themselves,…

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

I think the most important thing would be to truly listen to a student, not only to hear him/her, but to actually listen. Indeed, I believe a student will never improve if they don't want to. Thus, I think it is the tutor's duty to make the student interested in the subject, to make it fun and as easy as possible, and that goes through the…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

Modern History Tutor Northbridge, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there for them. If a tutor chooses only to communicate with a student within the designated hour-long session, there is a good chance questions will be forgotten before the next session and eventually left unanswered. This is why a clear and uninterrupted communication line is valuable…

Inside LonguevilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ava worked through fraction to decimal conversions and solved real-world area problems using diagrams.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on linear algebra by forming equations from graphs and also explored bivariate data relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia revised trigonometric identities and applied them to surface area calculations, reinforcing skills with past HSC questions for added exam readiness.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student's work in algebra and fractions was often left incomplete or unclear; as noted, "needs to focus on his working out and not rushing," which led to confusion during revision.

A Year 11 student preparing for trial exams frequently skipped writing out full solutions when tackling past papers—this made it difficult to pinpoint where calculation errors occurred under time pressure.

In Year 6, one student's written layout in area and perimeter tasks was messy, making it hard for both tutor and student to follow progress step by step. Without these process improvements, mistakes remained hidden until test day.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Longueville recently noticed a Year 8 student who used to guess through maths problems now pausing to identify which rule fits each question, and starting to work independently.

In a high school session, a Year 10 student—who previously mixed up the steps—has begun accurately translating worded questions into equations and is showing more confidence applying trigonometry fundamentals without prompting.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student moved from general uncertainty to clearly explaining concepts aloud like velocity and acceleration graphs before attempting problems on their own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for the past 4 years of tutoring first Kendra and then Graeme. We were very happy with Tamara indeed. She made a huge difference for Kendra's Maths results. She achieved what she required for entry to her course, and we are very thankful to Tamara for that. Not only was she an excellent tutor, but a lovely person too and the kids found her very easy to understand and got on very well with her. She made a good start with Graeme, he also has improved in his Maths, fortunately we started early with Graeme.

Thank you all for your professionalism, patience and humor when engaging with our daughter! Who can make Maths more fun? Frank can! Cassie has blossomed!

Our daughter Marleen has finished her tutoring as she finished her HSC with great results: well above her predicted ATAR. A big thank you to Gordon who did a fabulous job tutoring chemistry!

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 Lane Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marist Sisters' College Woolwich.
