Lokeshkumar
Tutor Kings Park, VIC
Develop a good rapport with the student so they are open to expressing their fears/weaknesses. Where the student does not open us, assess exactly which area the student needs help in and focus their energy there. I develop professional relationships with pupils quite easily, and that helps break the ice. They are more open to receiving coaching. I…

For me, the two most vital things a tutor can do are to make learning stick and make it last.
To make it stick, I focus on practical application. I bridge the gap between textbook theory and the real world, which makes the information tangible and easier to comprehend.
To make it last, I focus on building the skills for continuous,…

Inside CairnleaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Taj focused on probability concepts and practiced multiplication timetables for fluency.
For Year 8, Aashi worked through scientific notation and indices, then tackled practice with multiplying decimals to address past difficulties.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jason reviewed algebraic expressions and solved worded questions involving variables and equations, using real-life examples for context.
Recent Challenges
In Year 8 Maths, homework was often left incomplete, especially with chapter revision and annotating articles—this meant gaps persisted in key skills like probability.
One Year 10 student repeatedly avoided showing full working when expanding algebraic expressions; as a tutor noted, "she tried to do too much in her head and missed sign errors."
In English for Year 6, a lack of planning caused him to get stuck on what each paragraph should say, leading to frustration mid-essay.
After setbacks on worded questions in Year 11 Maths, one student lost confidence and hesitated to attempt problems without heavy guidance.
Recent Achievements
One Cairnlea tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who had previously struggled with algebraic expressions now working through expansion questions independently, applying each step without prompting.
A Year 7 learner who used to stay quiet during sessions has started speaking up about which maths concepts feel tricky and is now quick to ask for help when needed.
In primary, a student who was often hesitant about reading comprehension began summarising passages aloud and identifying key details by herself—she finished her latest story plan with all the main points mapped out in her own words.
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 St Albans Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cairnlea Park Primary School-Western Special Assistance Unit - Language.
