The most important things are to give the student: 1. an appreciation of the beauty of the subject, 2. a strong link between the theory and practical, real-world applications, and 3. the ability to problem solve independently. I'm patient, enthusiastic, and good at zeroing in on exactly what it is the student doesn't understand, and then leading…

For it's most important for a tutor or mentor to encourage asking. You won't know anything unless you ask for it. More importantly, this builds a person's confidence, which is especially helpful in succeeding. My strengths as a tutor are patience and perseverance. I do not stop until the end goal is achieved. I persist as necessary to succeed, not…

The most important thing is to probably instead of spoonfeeding the information to the student, communicate the importance of practice, discipline and routine. Moreover, to guide them along with their curiosity instead of just giving them questions to do. I think my adaptability would be useful for fields that I might not be as experienced at. My…

A tutor should understand the need of a student. A tutor should make a effort to reach the student and understand what the need. If a student is falling behind we as tutors need to understand the reason behind that. A tutor should also teach students to be independent and make sure they are able acquire the knowledge even in our absence. I can…

I have seen many people hate some specific subjects just because the tutor…

A good tutor will be able to make a connection with their student, and can understand their individual needs as a learner. I think that if a tutor isn't able to do this, then any knowledge they possess can't be effectively taught. I think a good tutor should also have a strong grasp over whatever they teach, and being able to teach is the biggest…

The best thing I can do is to generate interest of the student in that particular subject. That way, the student can get his own way at that subject later on.

Local Reviews

Eli is doing so well with Filip. Yesterday was only his third lesson with but he already feels like Filip understood the areas which need attention and he helps him to understand the questions better. He now looks forward to his tutoring lessons, which he was def not keen about at the start. Thank you so much for your help and we look forward to continuing our lessons with Filip.

Inside KalingaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex focused on simplifying fractions and finding highest common factors, then tackled percentage word problems involving ratios.

For Year 10, Jackson reviewed the cosine rule and practiced graphing exponential functions, also reinforcing power and index laws using variables in algebraic contexts.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Priya concentrated on identifying turning points and intercepts when graphing quadratics, using step-by-step worked examples to deepen her understanding of these key features.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student hesitated to write full working for complex rearrangements, which sometimes hid calculation slips—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

For a Year 11 calculus assignment, feedback from the draft was not always implemented; small errors recurred even after comments were given.

In Year 7, confidence issues with mental arithmetic led to second-guessing and slowed progress during worded problem tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student often forgot key parts of multi-step questions in number patterns until prompted to re-read instructions. This left gaps in answers that only became obvious at review.

Recent Achievements

One Kalinga tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess through multiple-choice maths problems now pausing to cross out obviously wrong answers, narrowing down her choices and explaining her thinking aloud.

A Year 12 student who struggled with rearranging complex equations in physics began independently switching between variables and even anticipated how to revolve an area between two curves before it was formally introduced—showing new initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student grasped fraction operations so well after one explanation that she confidently completed the next set of questions without hesitation or extra help.

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 Nundah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Eagle Junction State School.
