Psychology Tutor Lawson, ACT
Improving a student's results is obviously the goal for tutoring, but improving a student's confidence in themselves and their abilities is just as important. Watching a student start to believe in themselves and take the reins is a marker of success. I work well with kids and teens, as I am enthusiastic and make an effort to get to know them and…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Canberra, ACT
The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Reid, ACT
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

Psychology Tutor Cook, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

It's the tutor's responsibility to connect with the student and put in the extra mile to support their needs. Every student is at a different stage in learning, and it's about recognising that each person needs a different approach. This can only be achieved if the tutor understands the student, and develop a sense of trust and reliability.…

The responsibilities of a tutor involve not only cultivating subject knowledge but also developing a passion for learning. Building a strong connection with the student, identifying their unique learning style, and adapting teaching strategies accordingly are crucial. Moreover, a tutor plays a pivotal role in instilling confidence, critical…

Samuel was very good.

Inside LynehamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Amity worked on multiplication and addition strategies to build number fluency.

In Year 8, Lara reviewed introductory algebra, focusing on applying variables in worded problems, and tackled a multi-step trigonometry question involving two triangles from her previous exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Owen focused on solving simultaneous equations using elimination and substitution methods, then applied these skills to contextual word problems for extra practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often relied on having notes or solution formulas at hand, especially when working through algebraic problems—"needs to write working out down," a tutor observed after he skipped showing steps in x + x = 6. This meant confusion lingered between addition and multiplication of unknowns.

In Year 8 Science, one student did not bring a notebook for class notes, which led to trouble recalling key facts during revision.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to attempt fraction questions without prompting, tending to give up quickly if unsure—confidence slipped away as blank space grew on the page.

Recent Achievements

One Lyneham tutor noticed a big shift in Kenzie, a Year 10 student, who used to hesitate with complex equations—now she pushes through tough inequality questions and figures out most mistakes on her own before the tutor steps in.

In senior high school, Owen recently made a breakthrough connecting math derivations to his physics experiments; after struggling to turn raw results into meaningful data last term, he now confidently sets up his lab reports independently.

For Year 4, Elijah managed to master telling time on analogue clocks by the end of one session—a concept he'd previously found confusing. He mastered this skill in one session.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brindabella Christian College.
