I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support a student to become an independent learner. By doing this, it means a student is able to use problem-solving techniques in their study and in the classroom, rather than just encouraging rote learning. My strengths as a tutor is effective communication skills and being able…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to never give up on teaching them, and to help them learn from their mistakes so that they can do better next time.

According to me, a tutor must collaborate with his students to set realistic goals for them in the short as well as long term. Apart from that, a tutor should definitely empower students with effective study methods, time management strategies, and organizational techniques as it encourages them to develop independence in their learning journey.…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

Offer another way of learning that teachers aren't able to. Teachers have to teach a multitude of students so if a single student in lagging behind the class, they aren't able to help.

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

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.
