For me, it is to be very patient and never stop giving encouragement. Cause everyone has different learning capabilities but it doesn't mean that because some can learn faster than others, doesn't mean they can no longer do it. We just have to be patient and make them believe in themselves. Patience. Critical Thinker. Problem Solver. Encouraging.…

Responsibility is the first word that comes to my mind. I come from Vietnam, and I have seen very few Australian students who require a tutor, comparing to Vietnamese students. If they hire a tutor, they must have a need to improve their academic performance. Hence, a tutor needs to be responsible for them to achieve a better result. I cannot…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to actively listen and to be organised with planning lessons. It’s really important to understand exactly what the student requires. This could be done through a pre-assessment at the start of the sessions. The tutor can then take that work home and arrange the next lesson…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is explain him a concept using simplest possible method which can help him to figure out the solution of every problem by himself, thereby seeking for minimum help. Apart from that, a tutor should conduct revision classes followed by revision tests quite frequently to make a topic crystal clear…

Inside West Lakes ShoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver practised decimal calculations and tackled advanced column multiplication for confidence with multi-step arithmetic.

For Year 9, Maddison reviewed key algebra skills and discussed areas of difficulty in fractions and division to build a foundation for upcoming lessons.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Tom focused on expanding algebraic expressions and began work on factorising quadratic expressions using worked examples for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student had not completed her homework, explaining she'd lost the questions; this led to spending valuable lesson time redoing tasks instead of consolidating skills.

In a Year 11 session, the student forgot there was a quiz the next day and didn't use the provided exam cheat sheet for revision—"the homework was incomplete and seemed rushed," as noted by her tutor.

For a Year 4 spelling activity, difficulty fitting longer words into boxes resulted in over-erasing and hiding mistakes rather than addressing them directly.

These moments led to missed opportunities for feedback and confidence building before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One West Lakes Shore tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on trigonometry—she now talks through her steps out loud, catching errors herself and logically writing each stage of the problem, which wasn't happening before.

Another high schooler has started asking teachers for their tests back so she can review mistakes independently, a step up from waiting for help.

In primary, Esther recently moved up four levels in reading and finished a much longer book during tutoring; she also scored perfectly on her spelling test after struggling with certain vowel sounds at first.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like West Lakes Shore School.
