The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as a maths tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something.…

A tutor should be personable for each student they teach, they should give each student a genuine connection and understand the tendencies of each student. It is fundamental for a maths tutor to understand the methods that their students use to naturally gain an understanding; the tutor subsequently forges their approaches around this method. I…

Go at there speed of learning, and not rushing the process.

Inside Varsity LakesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Noah focused on positive and negative integers using number lines, as well as developing confidence with ratios and rates.

In Year 9, Mia practised solving linear equations and tackled inequalities through targeted workbook questions to strengthen her algebra skills.

For Year 12, Ethan revised differentiation of trigonometric functions—specifically sine and cosine—and applied these rules to graphing exponential and logarithmic functions in preparation for his upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling algebra with fractions and exponents often rushed into questions, which led to overlooked steps and recurring errors—"he jumped straight in before checking what the question was really asking."

In senior maths, one student repeatedly relied on calculators for multi-step sequences instead of practicing manual methods, making it harder to spot sign mistakes during differentiation.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided completing assigned homework tasks, missing out on crucial practice with "more than" or "bigger than" concepts.

For a Year 10 English assignment, skipping over key sections of the novel left gaps when analysing themes.

Recent Achievements

One Varsity Lakes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly seeks clarification when working through challenging algebraic processes, making each session more interactive.

Another high school student showed a shift in their English work—where they once gave only surface-level responses, they're now expanding on ideas and attempting more detailed analysis in essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who had struggled with negative numbers was able to use number lines independently to solve addition and subtraction problems, staying focused for the whole lesson and tackling new examples without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Emma and I are very happy with Philip as a tutor.  All is going very well.  Phil seems very reliable and conscientious and offers appropriate support but allows Emma to work the problems herself which she appreciates.

So far all is going well , Andrew is fantastic and easy to communicate with. We have had three sessions so far and this term he will be working on the next unit of work rather than just exam revision.

All seems to be going well with Jared. We are overseas at the moment so have put tutoring on hold. Griffin said he likes Jared and is keen to continue tutoring, he said Jared is incredibly smart and always takes time to explain to him. We were worried as Griff seemed to be really attached to Nick and couldn't believe you would have someone as good to replace him. Where do you find these amazing young men?

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 Burleigh Waters Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Varsity College.
