Eventually get them to a level where they become self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to teach themselves as well as think for themselves. These are skills that will be required when going to university as often (in my experience) you cannot have the professor/tutor sit down with you and go through concepts you didn't comprehend. These…

Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way. Inspiration can go a long way, and improving their enjoyment of a subject may set them up for a future they love. When I tutored my friends in…

In doing so, it makes the intake of knowledge easier and an overall more enjoyable experience. A tutor must also show a genuine interest in…

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…

For me it's very important to adjust to a student's individual needs because each student is different, some may quickly grasp things while others may need more time to. Often kids feel very overwhelmed and anxious when they can't understand or feel rushed. So being patient with them and building a positive environment is a crucial thing that…

Local Reviews

All good with Jeffery, Mylo seems to like him and they made good progress with fractions.
Kate

Inside Kotara SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Julian reviewed faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes using hands-on geometry questions and practised two-digit addition and subtraction before progressing to multi-digit number problems.

Year 8 student Aiden focused on financial mathematics, tackling compound interest and depreciation in worded scenarios and converting time periods for calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Zoe revised preliminary HSC maths with targeted practice on calculus concepts, functions, polynomials, and trigonometry to prepare for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled with test time management and needed to be quizzed on what he knows for exams oncoming, as noted by the tutor.

During algebra practice in Year 8, another avoided writing out working, which made it hard to spot mistakes—really need to focus on this one.

A Year 4 learner found multi-digit numbers confusing when place value was missed; forgetting to update digits led to repeated errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 12 English, shallow formal responses meant feedback wasn't being fully acted on. This sometimes left gaps unaddressed before assessments arrived.

Recent Achievements

A Kotara South tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to financial maths: where he once hesitated, he now confidently works through multi-step questions and quickly spots compounding period changes without help.

In another high school session, a Year 9 student who previously struggled with worded probability questions is now breaking them down independently and has mastered the use of probability tables.

Meanwhile, a younger Year 3 learner moved from confusion to success by finally understanding key terminology in class discussions and correctly answering two questions that had stumped him just one week earlier.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kotara South Public School.
