Modern History Tutor Acton, ACT
Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as a tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with hopes that…

I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is boost a students confidence and connect with them. Throughout my education I have found that confidence is they key to being happy and boosting marks in a subject. Finding a connection with a student in a particular subject and fostering their joy in it is key to making long-term progress.…

Modern History Tutor Gungahlin, ACT
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is identify any key areas for improvement academically and set goals together to maximise and successfully achieve those goals and reach new levels of academic capability. Additionally, it is also important for a tutor to have a respectful and a comfortable relationship with their student so…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students develop critical thinking skills. It’s not just about giving them the right answers, but guiding them to ask the right questions, break down problems, and reason through solutions on their own. This way, they become independent learners who can tackle new challenges with…

I think listening to the student is the most important thing a tutor can do. Whether it is simply listening to troubles they are having with a class or with life, listening to the student is very important. As someone who has studied a wide range of topics throughout high school and college, I feel like I have a wide range of expertise.…

The two most important things a tutor can do for a student in my view are (1) adapt to that particular student and (2) encourage and motivate the student along the way. Indeed, without motivation, tutoring is a fairly pointless exercise. My strengths as a student are (1) my ability to make complex concepts, especially in maths, tangible to…

I think it is important that a tutor be able to explain a concept in a way that the student can understand, internalise and remember, while tapping into their passion for the subject, rather than strictly and laboriously forcing them to rote-learn concepts (with the exception of fairly simple ideas like times tables of course) I think my strengths…

Being understanding, compassionate, and encouraging. Having someone in your corner who fully believes in you makes an absolute world of difference. But having someone who is compassionate as well, I think that is most important. There are many variables that can influence a students' educational experience, and having someone who is understanding…

Our daughter was very pleased with Kin's tutoring and would highly recommend him to others.

Inside LawsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Angus revised quadratic equations, focusing on factorising using the sum-product and pairing methods, and reviewed his recent test for common errors.

Year 9 Zoe worked through expanding and simplifying surds as well as applying Pythagoras' theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems.

For Year 8 Liam, lessons included solving linear equations and understanding percentage-based word problems using real-life deposit scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Rushing was a major obstacle for the Year 10 student, especially in trigonometry—"his biggest enemy in testing is rushing through, which leads to careless mistakes," as one tutor noted.

In algebra tasks with a Year 8 student, skipping working made it hard to spot errors and explain solutions clearly; the right answer sometimes appeared but without supporting steps.

For a Year 6 student, confidence dips after setbacks meant he hesitated on times tables and needed encouragement to double-check his work.

When these habits crept in during revision or timed practice, understanding and retention suffered noticeably.

Recent Achievements

A Lawson tutor noticed that Angus, a high school student, has started working through non-monic quadratics with more independence—he now builds his own "cheat sheet" and tries problems solo after needing frequent reminders before.

Another high schooler, Amy, initially found continuous random variables confusing but kept asking questions during the session; by the end, she solved mean and median problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, Sam in primary school made a big leap with long multiplication: where he used to get stuck and need step-by-step help, this week he finished all his homework correctly on his own.

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 Belconnen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like University of Canberra High School Kaleen.
