In my honest opinion, offering to help with their academic performances is not the most important things but it is to be there for my student. To be a supportive person who respect their personality, their actions, their way of life. I might not be the smartest tutor who can help them solve every homework but I will be there for them to listen, to…

Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

As it is said, "Teacher is the second parent of the child", I believe apart from the bookish knowledge, a teacher also mentors and guides a student in life skills. A tutor can change the way a child perceives the environment in an optimistic manner. I have great communication skills and ability to build a rapport with the student. I'm a fun…

Listen and understand why they wish to be at tutoring. This can help the tutor personalise the session so that the student can learn at their own pace, engage effectively and gain valuable learning.

Tutoring is important in helping students who struggle with certain topics/points of focus. It helps with arranging a classroom setting outside schooling so that the student can focus on their work.

A tutor must not tell a student how to do something, but show and allow them to learn it. Consequently, the student will be able to apply what they have learned through their own capabilities. Additionally, a tutor should be able to infuse some interest in the subject even if the student finds no particular interest in the subject. This may seem…

Fantastic tutor, personable and achieving great results with my daughter
Richmond Saliba

Inside Lake HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla practised simplifying fractions and applying the order of operations, along with converting numbers to percentages using real-life examples.

For Year 11, Tom focused on algebraic manipulation and interpreting survey data in worksheet exercises, while Noah worked through statistics concepts such as mean and standard deviation by tackling targeted homework problems.

Year 12 student Natalia reviewed function properties like domain and range, then explored transformations within functions using a mix of textbook questions and discussion.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student reviewing algebra and linear functions repeatedly relied on solved examples, rarely attempting questions independently—"he needs to practice by himself the same questions," a tutor noted. This led to shallow understanding, especially before exams.

In Year 11, a student working on data analysis and measurement often forgot formulas between sessions because materials were not reviewed immediately after lessons.

Meanwhile, in primary maths, one child's sums were sometimes incomplete due to distraction and fatigue, with missed steps when tired.

For a Year 7 learner, forgetting feedback from previous sessions meant mistakes reappeared in multiplication drills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Lake Heights noticed a real shift with Evie, a Year 9 student who used to hesitate when translating worded statements into algebra—after some targeted practice, she started working through these problems on her own without prompting.

Meanwhile, Zane (Year 11) showed new initiative by tackling chapter exercises independently at home and then coming to sessions ready with specific questions he wanted help on, a big change from waiting passively for guidance.

For a younger win, Chantel in Year 4 completed her homework error-free for the first time after struggling with long addition last term.

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 Warrawong District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warrawong High School.
