Work with the student to initially build understanding of a concept. However, also allowing the student to gain confidence in understanding the concept independently. I think I come from a place very similar to people in need of tutors. I have never been one to learn something right away and know that some concepts need to be explained in a…

I had a really good tutor through year 11 and 12, helping me understand how important it is to make the students feel confident in themselves. I think the best way to do this is by creating a good relationship with them by providing a safe space to ask questions, focusing on what the students need and tutoring them in a way that helps each student…

Understanding how the child learns is the single most important thing because you can't teach a child with autism the same as another child without, they both learn in completely different ways, personally I found it easier as a auditory/kinesthetic learner, meaning being taught and shown at the same time, whereas some thrive off just being taught…

- Bring awareness to the students' abilities. Many students, especially struggling ones, don't know how capable they really are. I think the most important thing a tutor can do is empower a student to take control of their own learning. I believe that all students can learn. It's just a matter of how. I like collaborating with students and parents…

It is important that a tutor is able to put themselves in the position of the student, so they can see clearly what it is that the student struggles to understand. A tutor should also be understanding that different students have different ways of learning and that there is not just one way of teaching that suits every student. I am good at…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel like they are being spoken with, not spoken to.

Inside KarnupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Noah worked on analysing visual symbolism in picture books and practiced identifying and explaining different types of symbolism for his English assessment.

In Year 10, Sophie revised trigonometric identities and worked through the unit circle, as well as reviewing key concepts from her recent Trig test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam focused on probability using Venn diagrams and two-way tables, then practiced interpreting statistical data sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, run-on sentences and inconsistent paragraphing—especially during dialogue—made creative writing hard to follow. As one tutor observed, "He often didn't break paragraphs when a new person spoke."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student in essay-based subjects struggled to expand analysis points and set an effective tone; missing introductory sentences sometimes left arguments feeling unfinished under exam pressure.

In Year 7 Maths, skipping careful attention to decimal places caused errors that could have been avoided with slower checking.

A senior student preparing trigonometric identities relied heavily on memorised shortcuts, leading to mistakes in simplifying sin²θ + cos²θ = 1.

Recent Achievements

One Karnup tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on analysis essays; this term, he independently explained symbolism in both images and text, giving detailed examples without prompting.

Another high schooler who'd struggled to organise assignments now checks his assessment calendar at the start of each session and maps out tasks, instead of missing deadlines.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student—previously making small mistakes in trig—recently worked through sine and cosine wave problems using the unit circle methodically and only needed reminders for accuracy.

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 Lakelands Library and Community Centre—or at your child's school (with permission), like Comet Bay Primary School.
