The most important thing is to be flexible in the way you teach. Coming up with different ways of giving information and explaining concepts for different students is vital as not everyone learns or obtains things the same way. Another important aspect is building confidence in a student by teaching in such a way that the student feels like they…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject area. A student with more confidence will feel comfortable with the subject matter and will be able to apply it to a wider variety of questions and problems. Attaining this confidence can be achieved through a number of methods such as:…

Inside West Lakes ShoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver practised decimal calculations and tackled advanced column multiplication for confidence with multi-step arithmetic.

For Year 9, Maddison reviewed key algebra skills and discussed areas of difficulty in fractions and division to build a foundation for upcoming lessons.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Tom focused on expanding algebraic expressions and began work on factorising quadratic expressions using worked examples for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student had not completed her homework, explaining she'd lost the questions; this led to spending valuable lesson time redoing tasks instead of consolidating skills.

In a Year 11 session, the student forgot there was a quiz the next day and didn't use the provided exam cheat sheet for revision—"the homework was incomplete and seemed rushed," as noted by her tutor.

For a Year 4 spelling activity, difficulty fitting longer words into boxes resulted in over-erasing and hiding mistakes rather than addressing them directly.

These moments led to missed opportunities for feedback and confidence building before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One West Lakes Shore tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on trigonometry—she now talks through her steps out loud, catching errors herself and logically writing each stage of the problem, which wasn't happening before.

Another high schooler has started asking teachers for their tests back so she can review mistakes independently, a step up from waiting for help.

In primary, Esther recently moved up four levels in reading and finished a much longer book during tutoring; she also scored perfectly on her spelling test after struggling with certain vowel sounds at first.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

Esme has connected with her tutor and is progressing well. We are pleased with the progress so far.

Tutoring seems to be going well. I think both Matthew and Abbey are starting to settle into a routine. Abbey has started to apply some of the methods Matthew has shown her to school work. She has come home from school a couple of times now, saying she was asked a question during maths time and got it right. Which, of course, she was very happy about! Within the next few weeks, I will receive Abbey's report for semester 1. I will show Matt, so he has even more understanding of her needs. I'm looking forward to seeing what they achieve in the coming months.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like West Lakes Shore School.
