The most important things I can do for, and with, a student as a tutor is are being able to set realistic goals, work towards and track progress towards those goals, and celebrate achievements together. Tutors must know the content that they are teaching, and refresh their knowledge in their own time if they are unsure of something. Additionally,…

I believe that a tutor must guide the student to learn independently by introducing different methods and techniques to learn. This is because an hour or two of supervised study in a week is not sufficient to learn and excel in a subject. Further, in this modern world with ever expanding technology there are many avenues to study and learn the…

Inside Varsity LakesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Noah focused on positive and negative integers using number lines, as well as developing confidence with ratios and rates.

In Year 9, Mia practised solving linear equations and tackled inequalities through targeted workbook questions to strengthen her algebra skills.

For Year 12, Ethan revised differentiation of trigonometric functions—specifically sine and cosine—and applied these rules to graphing exponential and logarithmic functions in preparation for his upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling algebra with fractions and exponents often rushed into questions, which led to overlooked steps and recurring errors—"he jumped straight in before checking what the question was really asking."

In senior maths, one student repeatedly relied on calculators for multi-step sequences instead of practicing manual methods, making it harder to spot sign mistakes during differentiation.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner avoided completing assigned homework tasks, missing out on crucial practice with "more than" or "bigger than" concepts.

For a Year 10 English assignment, skipping over key sections of the novel left gaps when analysing themes.

Recent Achievements

One Varsity Lakes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly seeks clarification when working through challenging algebraic processes, making each session more interactive.

Another high school student showed a shift in their English work—where they once gave only surface-level responses, they're now expanding on ideas and attempting more detailed analysis in essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who had struggled with negative numbers was able to use number lines independently to solve addition and subtraction problems, staying focused for the whole lesson and tackling new examples without prompting.

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 Burleigh Waters Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Varsity College.
