I consider balance the most important thing a tutor can do for their student. Balance has to be in so many aspects, such as balance in time management - to avoid wasting any time given in the short tutoring period in solving questions a student can take home for homework or going through content they are already accustomed to and balance in taking…

A tutor should truly believe in a students ability to learn no matter where they stand. Encouraging a growth mindset is therefore essential, helping students develop confidence in their abilities so they feel empowered to tackle challenges on their own. They should also ensure that students truly understand the material rather than just memorising…

Making sure they learn what they need to and be able to apply those learning skills to later subjects. It is good if you are able to make them learn what they are studying at the moment, but teaching them good study habits will help them much more later on as well. I am direct.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject and chip away at some students’ preconceived notion that they are bad at or just don’t get a subject. Additionally, tutors must also understand and accommodate each students' specific needs and impart knowledge on skills that go…

Local Reviews

The first session went well with Jolie. Harley told me felt it helped him in an area he was finding hard to understand.

Inside LondonderryTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Isaac worked through BODMAS and long division, then reviewed the use of metaphors versus literal language in his creative writing homework.

Year 8 Luke focused on algebraic equations, moving pronumerals across the equals sign, and practiced simplifying expressions using exponent rules.

For Year 7 Lyness, recent lessons included reviewing a numeracy NAPLAN test—particularly strategies for reading, grammar, and spelling improvement—followed by targeted practice on those skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, a student struggled with retaining grammar and punctuation corrections unless they were addressed immediately; as noted, "small mistakes…were fixed after mentioned and not repeated," but these fixes didn't always carry over to new writing.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student working on an adolescent presentation left compulsory criteria unfinished until the night before it was due—last-minute efforts led to incomplete sections.

In senior Biology (Year 12), revision habits leaned toward re-reading notes rather than practicing exam-style questions, limiting deeper understanding of genetic technologies.

In moments like these, gaps widened just as deadlines or assessments approached.

Recent Achievements

One Londonderry tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on algebra problems but has started working through linear equations independently, asking for hints only after trying several approaches.

In Year 11 biology, a student who previously mixed up meiosis and mitosis was able to clearly explain the difference and even drew diagrams from memory without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner—who once struggled to stay focused—has begun using self-made revision notes during sessions and now moderates fidgeting so it doesn't disrupt her work, finishing all her reading questions in one sitting.

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 Richmond Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Londonderry Public School.
