Be patient. Each seed grows at a different rate the same way each student acculturates and holds onto information in a different way, at a different pace. I love seeing how students who were not confident in themselves over time and care blossom into confident individuals and students. I think patience is a universal virtue and an important skill…

The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to believe in them and show encouragement.

When I believe in their potential, work with their strengths, support their…

Louise, Campsie

Inside CampsieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alice practised adding and subtracting fractions in mixed numeral form, then worked through area calculations for quadrilaterals and circles using visual aids.

In Year 8, Jack focused on solving linear equations involving one or two variables and manipulating algebraic expressions to isolate the subject.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia tackled quadratic equations by revising factorisation methods and applying the quadratic formula to solve for roots.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often skipped showing working in algebra, making it hard to spot sign errors—he jumped straight to the answer but missed a negative.

In Year 10, one learner avoided writing out steps for surd simplification, leading to repeated calculation slips.

A Year 3 student lost focus during number-writing tasks and sometimes wrote '6' backwards; when questions felt too challenging, she hesitated to attempt them at all.

For a senior student preparing for Year 12 maths, incomplete homework meant gaps in understanding quadratic equations lingered into new lessons, leaving her less confident tackling unfamiliar problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Campsie noticed a big shift with one Year 11 student who used to get stuck on logarithmic functions—by the end of the lesson, she could confidently set up and solve each type without prompts.

In another session, a Year 9 boy, who often made small errors when working fast, completed his worksheet without mistakes for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who had previously hesitated to read aloud managed to finish an entire book independently, only pausing briefly on unfamiliar words before sounding them out herself.

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 Earlwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Campsie Public School.
