I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being a friend in their learning process. This means we really listen to that student and create a comfortable atmosphere for the student so that they can open up about their struggles, or which areas they are confident in and which not. In that way, I believe we can identify the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be available and willing to answer and encourage questions and critical thinking.

This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

Teaching this skill to students to then carry onto into their careers and personal lives is…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is serve as a secondary teacher/mentor to a school teacher. As school teachers have to focus on a large class (usually around 30 students), they are unable to address the needs of each student. As each student has their own struggles and needs, an exterior tutor provides…

Tutoring sessions can make a student feel heard and understood which is so important in a student’s journey through self discovery in their schooling years. As a tutor,…

To me, what tutors can do most effectively for students is to help them achieve their learning outcomes at the end of each lesson. There is a specific need for us to teach to the student's strengths while minimizing the student's weaknesses. With regards to tutoring, we are solely responsible for setting up a teaching method to assist the student…

Local Reviews

I have used your services in the past as well and have witnessed both my daughters excel in the mathematical knowledge and skills. The attitude and enthusiasm of the tutors has been great. They are amicable and know the content taught. They have been very flexible with tutoring hours and are prompt with timing. My daughters feel comfortable and confident in their learning and are willing to take risks and challenges which was not evident prior to them commencing tutoring. Well Done!!!!!!!!!!

Inside LurneaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Nayeshehour focused on maths homework, showing solid understanding in decimals and using number lines to solve place value questions.

Year 9 student Mahmoud tackled NAPLAN revision with extra attention on algebra-based problems and clarifying homework queries as they arose.

For a Year 6 learner, multiplication and division strategies were reinforced, including working through worded questions using new step-by-step methods.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student left most homework questions incomplete and struggled to apply feedback from previous lessons—particularly in long division and algebra. As noted, "majority of the questions were left unanswered," making it hard to pinpoint where support is needed.

In a senior English session, another student forgot key materials for their assignment draft, which delayed progress on extended responses.

Messy written work in Year 8 graphing tasks also made errors harder to spot and correct during review.

After losing class notes on angles, confusion during test revision became clear: concepts could not be recalled under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Lurnea recently saw Mahmoud, a Year 8 student, quickly adapt to new division strategies—he had struggled with algorithm steps before but now completes problems with less confusion and more independence.

In Year 10 English, Sara previously hesitated when tackling short answer questions but is now approaching them more confidently after learning how to apply paragraph structures; she's begun planning her answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, Ariana in Year 6 surprised her tutor by voluntarily doing extra homework for tutoring for the first time, showing real initiative as she mastered simplifying fractions and long division.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tamara has been a great help on Wednesday afternoons for the homework club program. The students have responded well to her and she has a small cohort that continuously seek her help. I am sure she will continue to have a permanent and measurable impact beyond the initial motivational boost. Thank you.

Your Tutor was great and even took the time to phone Glen's teacher to discuss areas where he was having problems so he could work on it him.   He was great and I would recommend him in a heart beat.

Natalie is really good and reliable. Cheryl is actually enjoying her tutor lessons with Natalie and looks forward to them. I actually was watching them for a bit during one lesson and I have to say, the way Natalie tutors is quite impressive. I have no negative feedback about her. Really appreciate your help in finding a good tutor for my sister :)

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 Miller Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Francis Xavier's Catholic Primary School.
