The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is to make them more passionate and confident about their learning, as this will transition well past the tutoring period and into their future academics. Additionally, a tutor should help the student build good study habits that they can maintain independently. I'm very patient with people,…

I think it is very important that a tutor really listens to what their student needs in order to cater to these needs. I always like to ask my students how they usually study and what they have found works best for them. I also like to introduce my students to other methods of learning that I believe may be beneficial to them, when working with me…

It is vital that a tutor gives a student the feeling of being empowered - that they are part of assisting the student to develop their own skills that they can then move forward and use independently. Developing analytical ability, intellectual curiosity and a sense of achievement from even small study goals should be targets for tutors working…

Inside LarapintaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily reviewed solving simultaneous equations and practiced finding the equation of a parabola using given points.

Year 10 student Marcus worked on completing the square for quadratics and revisited factorising quadratic expressions with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Priya focused on probability concepts by constructing Venn diagrams and interpreting two-way tables to solve worded questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student left several homework tasks incomplete, particularly on trigonometry and algebra revision, which meant confusion lingered around positive and negative integers ("Homework needs doing and positive negative integers needs some work still").

In Year 11, over-reliance on the calculator during exams led to missed manual checking steps in fractions questions; as noted, "too reliant on calculator and does not try to work things out manually."

A Year 7 learner avoided attempting worded problems altogether, missing chances to build confidence with unfamiliar scenarios.

Meanwhile, a senior student began an assignment late, resulting in rushed planning and unfinished evaluation sections.

Recent Achievements

One Larapinta tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on assignments now takes initiative—last week, she completed most of her statistics project independently and even double-checked calculations before asking for help.

A Year 8 boy, who often guessed rather than asked questions, has started openly seeking clarification during lessons and was able to choose the right formula for surface area problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, in a recent Year 6 session, a student hesitant with algebra began tackling practice problems solo and correctly applied the distributive law on her own for the first time.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Stephen's School.
