Tutor Lake Haven, NSW
The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

Tutor Warnervale, NSW
A tutor must be able to reinforce the foundational theories and concepts taught in school and from there guide their student through the ways in which this information can connect to a wide range of questions. Exposure to a myriad of problems improves a student's ability to recognise how their own knowledge connects to a solution and thus their…

The most important thing a tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on being asked…

Tutors cannot think for their students, but what they can do is guide their students to an understanding. This means facilitating understanding by providing a space for students to ask their own questions, receive helpful answers, and be guided through any difficult topics.

As discussed before, I believe a tutor should be flexible in their teaching in order to meet the needs of each student. However even more importantly, an effective tutor should inspire students. I strongly believe that one of the greatest barriers to learning is the "study hard and get good grades" mentality. The aim of a tutor should not be…

The most important thing I can do for a student is to be patient. Patience is key in facilitating the process of learning as it removes the anxiety inducing pressure of expectation and allows the student to solely focus on the content at hand. Patience also allows the student to rationalise concepts at their own pace. This has the effect of deeply…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student.

Local Reviews

Jonathan has established a good relationship with my son who has expressed great satisfaction with the tutoring.
Margaret

Inside Lake HavenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ethan worked on converting fractions to decimals and multiplying fractions, as well as simplifying them through practical examples.

In Year 9, Olivia practiced solving linear equations and was introduced to graph plotting for both linear and nonlinear equations using coordinate grids.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ryan focused on arithmetic and geometric series alongside reviewing function graph transformations in preparation for his yearly exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on algebra repeatedly avoided writing full working when expanding brackets; as one tutor noted, "he skipped steps, which hid sign errors."

In Year 10 trigonometry revision, a student hesitated to attempt questions without checking notes for every formula, slowing progress.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student's written work on centripetal force was described as "hard to follow" due to inconsistent formatting and over-erasing corrections.

A primary student revising times tables struggled with confidence after mistakes and began skipping verbal recall practice entirely. The hesitation led to longer problem-solving sessions and persistent uncertainty in later exercises.

Recent Achievements

One Lake Haven tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with multi-step equations now works through them independently, only asking for help when truly stuck.

In a recent session with a senior student, the tutor saw a big change: instead of avoiding worded pay and commission problems, she tackled each one and even checked her answers on the calculator herself.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled to explain how they found perimeters is now confidently describing each step out loud while solving area questions—finishing their last set without needing any prompts.

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 Lake Haven Library & Council Services—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gorokan High School.
