I believe it’s important for tutors to create a supportive environments for students. This will allow them to feel comfortable and open to learning. Learning is almost impossible in an environment where students do no feel safe. I also think it’s important for tutors to give students the opportunity to share their learning to encourage active…

The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

The tutor must understand the learning and understanding power of the children and how they can digest in the single session of tutoring. The tutor should be a good friend for a student. My strengths are that i am patience and I know how to handle a child and make them understand in the easy way. I have quality of good time management so my…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is provide the with the strategies, tools, and perhaps most importantly: confidence they need to succeed and thrive in their studies. I believe my strengths include my ability to effectively communicate and teach important concepts and skills to my students. In particular I pride myself on my…

The most important thing a tutor can do a student is listen to them and their needs as well as create an environment whether that's in person or online that is safe, supportive and positive for them to learn and thrive. I have a very personable, open and kind approach when interacting with staff, parents and most importantly students so I feel…

Inside Lake GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sophie worked through solving linear simultaneous equations using substitution and revisited circle mensuration with step-by-step diagrams.

For Year 11, Daniel focused on trigonometry—specifically SOH CAH TOA and both the sine and cosine rules—and practiced finding unknown sides in right-angled triangles using calculators.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled proof by contradiction and mathematical induction, applying these logical proofs to algebraic statements drawn from recent classwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working through mathematical induction and negated statements showed ongoing confusion, with a tutor noting "a formal session going over it" was needed—misunderstandings here made subsequent problem-solving slower and more frustrating.

In Year 9, one learner tended to jump to answers in algebra without double-checking or clearly showing working; as the tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to write out solutions for worded fraction problems unless fully confident in the answer. This led to blank responses on tests and missed opportunities for targeted feedback.

Recent Achievements

A Lake Gardens tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from hesitating over exponent laws to independently solving equations with non-standard layouts, needing only minimal hints.

In a senior session, another student who previously struggled to form equations on their own began confidently applying the quadratic formula after practicing setting up problems themselves.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, one younger learner shifted from frequent mistakes in array-based fraction exercises to reliably grouping and counting out correct answers—now checking her work methodically by matching dots rather than guessing.

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 Wendouree Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wendouree Primary School.
