It is to emphatize and to have patience with the student. Not everyone has the same learning curve. Other people learn faster than the others. It is common to get frustrated when your student is not understanding what you are trying to teach him/her, however, do not let your students feel and see that. It may not only hurt their self-confidence…

The most important thing a teacher in general can do for a student is to cultivate a positive mindset that they have the potential to do anything. It is a way of teaching them to believe in themselves. I believe teaching is more than just conveying information. A teacher has the power to mold a child's life. Hence as a teacher, it is crucial to…

A tutor should take the time to understand each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and goals. This enables the tutor to tailor their teaching approach and materials to meet the student's specific needs. Moreover, a tutor should encourage active learning by engaging students in discussions, asking questions, and involving them…

Listening to a student's main concerns/goals and having a plan are two of the most important things I believe a tutor can do for a student.

This is important as…

Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

It is extremely important that when the student is faced with a difficult question, they are able to see many potential methods to attempt it.

Local Reviews

The first session went well with Jolie. Harley told me felt it helped him in an area he was finding hard to understand.

Inside LondonderryTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Isaac worked through BODMAS and long division, then reviewed the use of metaphors versus literal language in his creative writing homework.

Year 8 Luke focused on algebraic equations, moving pronumerals across the equals sign, and practiced simplifying expressions using exponent rules.

For Year 7 Lyness, recent lessons included reviewing a numeracy NAPLAN test—particularly strategies for reading, grammar, and spelling improvement—followed by targeted practice on those skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, a student struggled with retaining grammar and punctuation corrections unless they were addressed immediately; as noted, "small mistakes…were fixed after mentioned and not repeated," but these fixes didn't always carry over to new writing.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student working on an adolescent presentation left compulsory criteria unfinished until the night before it was due—last-minute efforts led to incomplete sections.

In senior Biology (Year 12), revision habits leaned toward re-reading notes rather than practicing exam-style questions, limiting deeper understanding of genetic technologies.

In moments like these, gaps widened just as deadlines or assessments approached.

Recent Achievements

One Londonderry tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on algebra problems but has started working through linear equations independently, asking for hints only after trying several approaches.

In Year 11 biology, a student who previously mixed up meiosis and mitosis was able to clearly explain the difference and even drew diagrams from memory without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner—who once struggled to stay focused—has begun using self-made revision notes during sessions and now moderates fidgeting so it doesn't disrupt her work, finishing all her reading questions in one sitting.

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 Richmond Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Londonderry Public School.
