I think that instilling confidence in a student is the most important aspect of tutoring. it is rare that a student actually has no idea what they are doing insteead they usually lack the confidence to answer the question. Im very knowedgable in the subject areas I tutor in and have years of experience so I have encountered basically every…

Allowing my tutees to make mistakes and learn from them, results in better mathematical thinkers. I think that maths is best learned through a trial and error of methods, to find the best one. While this is an individual pursuit, guidance to understanding concepts and learning why or why not certain methods work, is key. Instead of saying "this…

A tutor must find out about a student's personal learning requirements, such as where and why they struggle with concepts, and then figure out how best the student learns, then teach the student according to their own needs, that they may gain fluency in the particular academic area. I am a good communicator, and I have a good grasp of subject…

I think the fundamental aspect of tutoring is the dedication of time to the student and their understanding. Ensuring that they are comfortable and confident with their learning and being a guide along the way is at the heart of being a good tutor. For me, tutoring is about finding the keys to a few important concepts - about finding how they…

I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to help them learn whatever they want to learn, even if they have a lot of difficulty understanding it. The first and most important thing would be the fact that I myself was a school student not long ago, and am a university student still, so I would understand what my…

A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their ability to learn and think independently.

Teaching students how to learn not only helps them to do well in their exams, but…

Inside LyonsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom worked on addition and subtraction of fractions, as well as converting between proper and improper fractions using visual examples.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on graphing and manipulating parabolas along with factorising and expanding quadratics to strengthen her algebraic fluency.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled trigonometric identities through targeted exercises and also reviewed the unit circle and trig functions for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student faced time management issues during exams, often spending too long on challenging questions and leaving easier ones unfinished. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions that she felt less confident in."

In Year 9 algebra, a reluctance to show working made it hard to pinpoint errors—steps were skipped or left out entirely.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student regularly forgot previous lesson content without extra revision at home; this meant re-learning basics instead of progressing.

During financial maths in Year 11, not writing all unknowns before solving made marking and self-checking difficult, slowing feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Lyons tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to rearrange formulas now confidently tackles unfamiliar arithmetic and geometric progression questions on her own, even solving for unknowns without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who was initially confused by translations in coordinate geometry quickly shifted gears—after one clear explanation, he independently worked through new problems with no extra help.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who often avoided tricky long division now volunteers to attempt these problems first during sessions and recently scored 97% on a multiplication tables quiz.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lyons Early Childhood School.
