The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic. If you know the student well enough, that student will begin to enjoy studying and being able to perform great academically. I believe that is the greatest…

Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is basically giving them the ability to simply understand their work, as this understanding forms the foundation of what they need to know and without this understanding they would not be able to pus themselves forward into learner their work on a broader perspective.

Educators play an important role in how students minds are shaped and how they approach problems in their studies. Believing in students that they can achieve their goal is one of the most important aspects of teaching them so it encourages them to strive towards their goal rather than realise they aren't capable enough. Watching them set out a…

Help them reach their full potential without doing all the work for them; I think it is important to let them do some hard work now and again so they can appreciate it more when they are congratulated for their success, and so that they are not 'coddled' into thinking other people will do all their work for them. Some of my strengths would…

The most important thing will be to help the student find his/her interest in the subject. If they don't believe they can do it or that what they're learning is actually beneficial, they're only ever going to treat it as something they have to do. It'll be difficult for them to reach their potential in the subject. My strengths would be ability to…

The most important things a tutor can do are: 1. Provide a safe and supportive environment where the student feels comfortable sharing their concerns. This helps to identify the student’s preferred learning style and areas to focus on. 2. Give the student the tools they need to learn on their own. Instead of just giving solutions, a tutor…

Tayden's lesson with Janelle went quite well. They got along pretty well and Janelle is quite an experienced tutor with a lot of patience.
Olivia, Underwood

Inside KurabyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7, Ella focused on decimal addition and subtraction as well as practicing both 2 x 2 digit and 3 x 2 digit multiplication; meanwhile, Year 8, Marcus worked through order of operations in word problems and solved volume questions involving measurement conversions.

In senior Biology, Year 11 student Lily reviewed karyotype interpretation and discussed the roles of different RNAs in protein synthesis alongside constructing energy flow diagrams for ecosystems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's maths work showed a tendency to skip setting out full working for complex equations, making it difficult to catch errors—"his thinking for these questions was correct, but layout needs work."

In Year 11 Biology, another student did not spend enough time reading studies in detail before analysis, which slowed progress on the research investigation.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often guessed answers rather than using drawings or calculations when tackling multiplication and word problems.

In each case, rushed or incomplete processes led to confusion or repeated mistakes during practice and revision.

Recent Achievements

A Kuraby tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid exam-style biology questions now confidently summarising the process of nondisjunction in her own words when prompted, showing real ownership of complex genetics content.

In Year 8 maths, another student who previously struggled with setting out calculations is now consistently writing complete expressions for worded problems and double-checking unit conversions independently.

Meanwhile, a younger learner who would guess times tables answers has begun using anchor facts and visual patterns to solve unfamiliar multiplication questions, choosing strategies herself without prompting from the tutor.

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 Logan North Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kuraby State School.
