I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be a constant supporting presence and to increase their confidence in their own knowledge and skills. From my experience as a high school and uni tutor, I observed many students who did not struggle with the concepts they were being taught but instead struggled with…

I feel that a tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

Local Reviews

Tutoring with Hai Lun has been wonderful. My daughter adores her and her teaching style is outstanding.
Anne

Inside KingstonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Charlotte worked on exponents and squaring, as well as reinforcing understanding of equal fractions through targeted review.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on BODMAS and applying exponent rules in calculation practice.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia revised matrix operations—including addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication—and tackled related problem-solving questions to deepen her grasp of matrices in context.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student struggled to recall multiplication tables, which slowed progress on word problems—"8's and 7's are still a bit tricky," as noted during arithmetic drills.

In Year 9 algebra, one learner skipped setting out steps when solving equations, making it hard to spot sign errors or understand where confusion started.

A Year 11 student avoided writing full working in calculus revision, hesitant to attempt unfamiliar questions without prompting; this often meant strong ideas didn't translate into marks under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student sometimes relied heavily on calculator checks rather than building confidence with manual rearrangement of equations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kingston noticed that a Year 11 student, who previously hesitated with rearranging equations, is now independently spotting her own errors and correcting them without prompting.

Another high schooler recently began openly identifying which topics feel tricky for her, a shift from past sessions where she rarely voiced uncertainties—she's now quick to grasp core concepts once discussed.

In the middle years, one student used to rush through worded problems but has started pausing to break down each step methodically before answering. Last week, he completed all ten assigned questions accurately by applying this new approach.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Telopea Park School.
