The most important thing for a tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past learnt best…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only boost their confidence in a subject, but also their enthusiasm for the subject. Giving students who are bored with the content as they find it too easy more difficult problems peaks their interest, as I have seen in the past. Students who are struggling and as a result lose interest…

The ability to help students so that they are able to understand a particular topic and be able to do questions independently is what the most important thing a tutor can do, and that is my aim as a tutor.

As a tutor, I believe that the most important thing I can bring to a student is a different perspective on the subject matter they are studying. While teachers and textbooks can be great resources, they often present the material in a standardized and one-size-fits-all way that may not resonate with every student. By providing a different voice…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for student is to create an environment in which they feel supported and welcomed. It is key to achieving results that you build a strong rapport with your student. If they feel judged by you and thus do not ask the questions they need to ask, it can stagnate their progress and damage their…

Provide a safe space for questions and growth to happen. I believe tutoring offers a unique style of personalised learning so that students can receive clarification in areas they're struggling in.

As a tutor, it's your job to adapt your way of teaching based on what works best for the student and use different approaches to explain a concept so the student understands it completely. Encourage the students when they feel discouraged, praise them when it's earned and give them advice on where they can improve. You're essentially guiding…

I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

Local Reviews

Samuel was very good.

Inside LynehamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Amity worked on multiplication and addition strategies to build number fluency.

In Year 8, Lara reviewed introductory algebra, focusing on applying variables in worded problems, and tackled a multi-step trigonometry question involving two triangles from her previous exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Owen focused on solving simultaneous equations using elimination and substitution methods, then applied these skills to contextual word problems for extra practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often relied on having notes or solution formulas at hand, especially when working through algebraic problems—"needs to write working out down," a tutor observed after he skipped showing steps in x + x = 6. This meant confusion lingered between addition and multiplication of unknowns.

In Year 8 Science, one student did not bring a notebook for class notes, which led to trouble recalling key facts during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to attempt fraction questions without prompting, tending to give up quickly if unsure—confidence slipped away as blank space grew on the page.

Recent Achievements

One Lyneham tutor noticed a big shift in Kenzie, a Year 10 student, who used to hesitate with complex equations—now she pushes through tough inequality questions and figures out most mistakes on her own before the tutor steps in.

In senior high school, Owen recently made a breakthrough connecting math derivations to his physics experiments; after struggling to turn raw results into meaningful data last term, he now confidently sets up his lab reports independently.

For Year 4, Elijah managed to master telling time on analogue clocks by the end of one session—a concept he'd previously found confusing. He mastered this skill in one session.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brindabella Christian College.
