Every child is different and their way of learning will ofcourse be different. So with a few classes we should understand the pace of student and make the learning process unique for each child. Some children learn better when they learn visually, some learn just by hearing. It depends upon students. Every child is brilliant. Some understand…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a kind, and patient individual. So often people don’t want to ask for help especially students since they fear being judged or that their question won’t get answered. This is why I think being someone your student can trust is very important in helping them learn. Patient, good…

Make the concept easy enough for them to understand. Secondly, allowing for all types of questions to be asked.

Tutors need to be able help their students learn how to problem solve. Too often tutors prioritise getting the correct answer or achieving a high mark.

Listen to the student patiently. Different students have a different understanding capacity. Therefore, a tutor should be flexible to adjust to the level of the student and explain to him/her about the subject. I am an active listener and a patient one.

Fantastic tutor, personable and achieving great results with my daughter
Richmond Saliba

Inside Lake HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla practised simplifying fractions and applying the order of operations, along with converting numbers to percentages using real-life examples.

For Year 11, Tom focused on algebraic manipulation and interpreting survey data in worksheet exercises, while Noah worked through statistics concepts such as mean and standard deviation by tackling targeted homework problems.

Year 12 student Natalia reviewed function properties like domain and range, then explored transformations within functions using a mix of textbook questions and discussion.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student reviewing algebra and linear functions repeatedly relied on solved examples, rarely attempting questions independently—"he needs to practice by himself the same questions," a tutor noted. This led to shallow understanding, especially before exams.

In Year 11, a student working on data analysis and measurement often forgot formulas between sessions because materials were not reviewed immediately after lessons.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, one child's sums were sometimes incomplete due to distraction and fatigue, with missed steps when tired.

For a Year 7 learner, forgetting feedback from previous sessions meant mistakes reappeared in multiplication drills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Lake Heights noticed a real shift with Evie, a Year 9 student who used to hesitate when translating worded statements into algebra—after some targeted practice, she started working through these problems on her own without prompting.

Meanwhile, Zane (Year 11) showed new initiative by tackling chapter exercises independently at home and then coming to sessions ready with specific questions he wanted help on, a big change from waiting passively for guidance.

For a younger win, Chantel in Year 4 completed her homework error-free for the first time after struggling with long addition last term.

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 Warrawong District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warrawong High School.
