I believe that creating a true relationship and connection with the student is an incredibly important part of being a successful tutor. If the student genuinely enjoys their tutoring session they are more likely to want to continue to learn and therefore engage with the content. By building a portfolio with the student, they are more likely to…

The most important part of tutoring in my opinion is being able to adapt to different students requirements, and noticing what each student needs most from you. Some students need someone to slowly work through problems and teach them the process, while others need someone to help enforce good habits and routines rather than purely just teaching,…

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class.

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Inside KallarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Isla focused on converting between fractions and decimals as well as adding fractions, using visual aids to clarify each step.

In Year 8, Ethan worked through integer operations with negative numbers and practised order of operations, also touching on mixed and reciprocal fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie reviewed consumer arithmetic by revisiting investment problems and interest calculations, then applied her understanding to currency exchange scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to keep organised notes before a test, making revision less effective—"needs to refine his notes for tests."

In Year 12, one learner found it difficult to manage time and plan for assessments, which left them feeling unprepared.

For a Year 8 student, jumping straight into GATE-style questions without breaking them down led to confusion and incomplete answers.

Meanwhile, in Year 6 maths, avoiding writing out working steps meant mistakes weren't easily spotted or corrected.

These habits often resulted in wasted effort or missed learning opportunities at crucial moments.

Recent Achievements

One Kallaroo tutoring session saw a Year 11 student finally tackle consumer arithmetic questions she'd previously avoided, showing new independence by setting up multi-step problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at algebraic fractions now confidently explains her reasoning aloud and consistently checks her own work for errors.

In primary, one Year 4 student made a noticeable shift—after struggling with division remainders in homework, he asked the tutor to review it together and then solved long division questions on his own, finishing all ten problems without needing 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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Springfield Primary School.
