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…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

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 needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

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…

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…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

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

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.
