Ensuring that the student not only comprehends the content but that they can come to enjoy the subject matter as well. I am good at breaking things down to their simplest components. I believe that subjects like Maths and Physics are easiest understood when a good foundation supports one's higher level…

A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…

I think making human connection with students and do not imagine myself superior than my pupils are the most important thing one can do for a student in addition to help them academically. I am able to explain hard things in simple form and makes them easy for them to grasp. I do not focus on memorizing as a way to learn but on understanding and…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts. The most important things that can be given are the motivation and ability to keep finding things out for oneself (and to fact check new information without relying on AI or internet rumour). Seeing and approaching topics…

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind. This is because, no matter how many hours are spent studying, if a student is not confident within themselves, in exam settings they will constantly doubt themselves and make avoidable mistakes. Therefore, building students confidence is the most…

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a supportive and encouraging learning environment. This means taking the time to understand each student's unique needs, learning style, and interests, and tailoring the tutoring approach accordingly. A good tutor should also be patient and compassionate,…

Make the subject less dreadful and confusing for the students. Help them discover the fun and show them ways in learning the subject so they are wiling to learn intrinsically.

I believe a tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student.

Individual needs must be considered to facilitate realistic and…

Inside KooragangTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Tyler focused on fraction equivalence and telling the time to the quarter hour, using clock-face diagrams for practice.

In Year 7, Tyler completed his maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam, working specifically on multiplying decimals and rounding numbers up and down.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah reviewed HSC past paper questions with an emphasis on interpreting normal distributions (including z-scores) and applying the 68-95-99.7 rule to real data sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, exam nerves repeatedly disrupted performance—"she knows all the content well, but when gets into an exam she over complicated problems and stresses which hinders her performance."

During algebra sessions with a Year 7 student, layout and organization in their workbook became an obstacle; messy work made it harder to catch calculation errors without a calculator.

In another senior lesson on standard deviation for the HSC, steps were not memorized, so tackling unfamiliar questions proved daunting.

After missing homework in primary maths, one student couldn't spot patterns with decimals—this left gaps that slowed progress during place value drills.

Recent Achievements

One Kooragang tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 7 student who previously relied heavily on calculators for algebra—now, he's working through problems step-by-step and showing all his workings without prompting.

In a recent high school session, another student who once hesitated to make decisions during simultaneous equations confidently chose her own solving method and explained her reasoning.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who struggled with telling time managed to complete an entire worksheet independently this week—a first for her since starting tutoring.

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 Mayfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mayfield West Public School.
