I believe I am calm, patient, persevering, and supportive. Especially when it comes to perseverance, I will not be deterred if a student doesn't originally understand my explanations as, if I…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills.
The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

Inside EastlakesTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Regan worked on mastering probability concepts, including calculating probabilities and practicing with targeted homework for an upcoming test.
In Year 10, Sara explored creative writing through character development and plot structure, then shifted to planning a discursive presentation by mapping out weekly goals and selecting suitable texts.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student tackled advanced calculus topics such as integration and the application of differentiation, focusing on solving optimisation problems using worked examples.
Recent Challenges
In Year 11 English, a student's creative writing lacked depth in characterisation—characters felt one-dimensional, limiting the emotional impact of her stories.
For a Year 12 essay, missing or incomplete homework meant feedback on textual analysis and flow could not be provided, delaying improvement. As noted by one tutor: "Homework was sent however was not completed. For feedback and improvement it is extremely crucial she finishes homework."
Meanwhile, a senior maths student struggled to select appropriate formulas in new topics; this confusion often arose when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than broadening problem-solving skills for exams.
Recent Achievements
One Eastlakes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who started the term hesitant to ask questions is now actively seeking clarification on tricky essay topics, even challenging interpretations and linking themes independently—something he'd avoided before.
In another session, a high school maths student who was unsure about maxima and minima at first worked through practice HSC-style problems until she could solve them confidently on her own.
Meanwhile, a younger student recently began writing down feedback after lessons without being prompted and asked for extra practice questions to improve—a big shift from previously staying quiet during reviews.
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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Eastlakes Public School.
