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…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. 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…

The most important things are to provide guidance and nurture their motivation so that they can accomplish their educational goals. The challenges that the students face with a subject can only be overcome by the students. Tutors can assist by explaining the concepts and providing examples, but the students' motivation is necessary as only then…

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.
