A tutor should also motivate students, support them throughout their learning journey, and help them develop both their academic skills and their confidence in learning independently. My…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care. Also, a tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing some…

I believe it is most important for a tutor to tailor their teaching according to the needs of their student. Many students learn in different ways such as visual or through different compounding activities to build a strong foundation before moving on to more difficult concepts. I believe being able to teach a student in the way that is most…

Inside LightsviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Bianca focused on combinations and practiced the 9 times tables, reinforcing foundational multiplication skills.

For Year 11, Isabelle tackled trigonometric graphs and functions from her Haese textbook, followed by work on probability and statistics using targeted examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Petra concentrated on natural logarithms in her Haese text, then explored differential calculus concepts using first principles to deepen understanding for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 calculus, skipping steps when setting out derivatives made it harder to spot sign errors—one tutor noted, "she needs to work on how she sets out her answer."

In a Year 9 session, incomplete homework and forgetting materials meant the student could not show recent schoolwork for feedback.

For a Year 3 student, reluctance to complete assigned times tables practice slowed recall in multiplication tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 11 methods, over-reliance on calculator entry led to bracket mistakes during equation input; corrections ate into lesson time that could have been used tackling new content.

Recent Achievements

A Lightsview tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who had previously struggled to apply differentiation formulas—she now confidently implements them and is halfway through mastering sign diagrams, showing real independence compared to earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who used to wait for guidance has started attempting maths questions independently before asking for help, demonstrating newfound initiative during their tutoring sessions.

In the primary years, one student became much more fluent in reading aloud after initially hesitating with longer passages; this week she read an entire page smoothly without stopping once.

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 Greenacres Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Martin's Catholic Primary School.
