Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways:
Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

Inside LakelandsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 9 student Tiffany completed a maths skills assessment to identify priority areas for support.
In Year 10, Ethan focused on financial mathematics, tackling topics such as calculating wages, salaries, and understanding gross versus net pay through real-life examples.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia worked through quadratic equations using both the quadratic formula and completing the square, building fluency with step-by-step practice on exam-style questions.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student preparing for HSC exams has been submitting written responses that are "too shallow," with missed opportunities to show deeper understanding—especially in formal exam-style questions.
In Year 9, a student's algebra work revealed confusion when negatives were combined; as noted, "he needs to watch out for double negatives when adding and subtracting."
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner hesitated to write down working steps in multiplication tasks due to lack of confidence, slowing progress during practice. This reluctance meant longer problem-solving sessions and persistent uncertainty after feedback was given.
Recent Achievements
A Lakelands tutor recently noticed a big shift in one Year 10 student's approach to financial maths: after weeks of struggling with worded problems, he now breaks them down independently and accurately plugs numbers into equations without prompting.
In another high school session, a student who previously hesitated to ask for help with indices started speaking up when confused, making it easier to fill knowledge gaps on the spot.
Meanwhile, a younger learner who was unsure about shape names at first is now confidently identifying all main 3D shapes and even explained the difference between prisms and cubes without any hints.
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 Cardiff Library, kuram—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warners Bay High School.
