Modern History Tutor Hobartville, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give him or her self-confidence. I believe that this is especially important for struggling students. A tutor must encourage students and provide them with the tools required for academic success. A student should enjoy tutoring sessions whilst consistently improving during them.…

I just want to say that we are very happy with the way tutoring has started off. My daughter Leah is really enjoying it.

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sienna focused on the split and compensation strategies for addition and subtraction, as well as building confidence with multiplication tables.

In Year 9, Chitleen worked through essay writing using the PEEL structure and practiced analysing film techniques within her school texts.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Justin explored key film techniques in "Whale Rider" and refined his informative writing by identifying pivotal scenes and structuring clear paragraphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling algebra tended to avoid structuring written answers, as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors." This meant time was spent searching for mistakes instead of moving forward.

In Year 11 English, another student struggled to break down Macbeth's key concepts—her notes remained general and she hesitated to use language techniques, leading to bland essay drafts.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner repeatedly left homework incomplete and would procrastinate on assignments; missed deadlines made it hard to build on skills week-to-week or get the feedback needed before new topics began.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tennyson noticed one Year 11 student, previously hesitant to tackle simultaneous equations, now confidently solves them on her own and even double-checks her answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 English student who used to struggle with planning essays has started asking for feedback mid-draft and voluntarily revises her introductions before moving on.

In primary school, another student who found it difficult to express ideas in writing is now drafting stories more quickly and recently described a character's feelings using details from both books and his own life—something he hadn't attempted before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I thought you might be pleased to hear our daughter, Arizona, is very, very happy with Lawrence's tutoring. It has been a meaningful development for her, albeit there is a great deal of fundamental work to do to bring her up to where she really needs to be. Thank you for your support with this.

Just a short note to let you know we will be finishing off with Alex today, as Penelope sits her HSC maths paper tomorrow. He has been a terrific help and I would be thrilled to recommend him if you need any references.

All is well. We agree it can take some time to settle in, but having Meg has already improved the children's routine and helped up with homework. The plan is to increase the time that she comes to 1 and a half hours. We are looking at then continuing that through next year.

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 Richmond Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glossodia Public School.
