Students often break down because they feel everything that is happening to them is unique to them. In reality this is not true, thus as a tutor I believe the most important thing is to be supportive to the student, but also being able to provide responses which are tailored to the understanding/way of learning of the student. My understanding of…

The tutor's first job is converting hard 'textbook language' to easy and illustrative concepts.

Inside Mount LewisTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Lily focused on mastering simultaneous equations and exploring trigonometry, including how to apply key formulae.

For Year 10, Ayaan worked through financial maths concepts such as calculating simple and compound interest, alongside tackling rates and ratios using real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily concentrated on analysing literary techniques in English texts and interpreting film techniques for upcoming assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often arrived without having completed homework, which led to gaps when tackling new algebra and indices problems—"she forgot the basics of squares and roots," a tutor noted.

In Year 11, missing scheduled study plan check-ins left one student feeling unprepared for upcoming exams, despite understanding material in lessons.

Another Year 9 learner found it difficult to recall surface area and volume units because prior revision was limited to easier questions, avoiding more complex multi-step worded tasks. This pattern meant that when unexpected question types appeared, confidence quickly dropped and time was lost deciding how to begin.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Lewis tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze when faced with simultaneous equations now actively asks to revisit the topic and is working through problems with far less hesitation.

Another high schooler recently received an A and a B on her assessment, after weeks of practicing new techniques and taking more responsibility for double-checking her homework—she only missed one question this time.

In a Year 4 session, a student who was initially unsure about mean and median started remembering definitions independently and could answer review questions correctly after some extra practice.

What they say about our tutoring

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

Claire found Samir to be a great tutor - very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful :-)

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 Canterbury Bankstown Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Lewis Infants School.
