PDHPE Tutor East Killara, NSW
I believe the most important things a tutor can do is be trusted by the student and beneficially help the student with lots of positive reinforcement rather than condescendingly negatively motivating them. Within this, it is important to create a supportive environment where the student can admit they still don't understand a topic, so that the…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support. School can often be an isolating and intimidating experience, and often students, despite being remarkably talented, feel afraid to take risks and go beyond what is expected of them. A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

The most important thing a tutor can do wouldn't be to have the answers to every question they have. It would be to teach a student properly so they understand the task properly, so that in the future, they can do it by themselves. It is important to teach students that mistakes often occur and these are crucial, as it allows us to recognise…

I value tutors as being mentors who students look up to for advice and as a role model, whilst revealing a students' true potential which in turn improves self-confidence and self-esteem. For instance, I think the evolving of students' enjoyment towards subjects, even ever so slightly, is one of the most valuable things an inspiring and supportive…

A tutor is more than a teacher. A teachers job is to give a student a base level of understanding whereas a tutor can build on that and go further. This allows students to revisit sections that the teacher brushed over or to build on sections they seemingly understand to ensure they can answer a greater range of question types. Along with the…

Inside East KillaraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Alice focused on financial maths and applying Pythagoras' theorem, referencing the Cambridge textbook and EUKA resources.

Year 10 student James revised algebraic techniques with indices and worked through polynomial graphing, also reviewing exponential growth and decay using practice questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackled definite integrals—working through areas under curves—and practiced volumes of revolution using cylindrical shells and disc methods to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student often avoided showing full working in algebra and geometry tasks—"he should elaborate a bit more on the working outs," as noted—leading to missed marks when mental steps went unrecorded.

In senior mathematics (Year 12), there was a tendency to rely heavily on notes for new topics like chain rule or integration, which slowed problem-solving and limited retention: "Requires looking at notes for now."

Across multiple grades, late arrivals and forgotten content were common, resulting in time spent catching up rather than practicing challenging applications.

When feedback was offered after complex calculus errors, corrections weren't always consistently applied in subsequent sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in East Killara noticed that one high school student, who previously hesitated with multi-step trigonometry questions, now confidently connects triangle sides to trig rules and solves problems without prompting.

Another senior student, after struggling with z-scores, recently tackled standard normal curve table questions on their own and quickly applied formulas for annuities and loan repayments.

In a Year 5 session, a student who used to guess when faced with fraction multiplication now pauses to convert percentages to decimals first and explains each step aloud before answering.

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 Ku-ring-gai Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Killara High School.
