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…

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…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

Encouraging students on questions they find difficult and nudging them in the right direction to solve problems so they can do it by themselves without requiring help. A tutor also needs to be reliable, so the student can go to them for help when they need it. I am patient, have a positive attitude towards helping others and can explain things in…

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…

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…

Inside KahibahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe focused on algebra skills by working through equations she found challenging in homework, then applied the Pythagorean theorem to solve practical geometry problems.

Year 11 student Olivia tackled probability concepts, using Venn diagrams and two-way tables to interpret worded questions and calculate relative frequencies.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack concentrated on financial mathematics—solving compound interest and depreciation problems by interpreting multi-step scenarios and rearranging relevant formulas for exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student repeatedly left sections of assigned maths homework incomplete—"not completed part of the homework which was given on year 11 content"—resulting in gaps when attempting non-right angle trigonometry questions.

For a Year 12 student, notes showed that limited independent revision ("only about an hour weekly") and undated study notes meant key financial maths concepts and bivariate data interpretation were still weak as exams approached.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner's algebra work was hard to follow due to missing steps; as observed, "really need to focus on writing down steps & showing working." This led to confusion and slower progress during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A Kahibah tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps is now writing out every stage of complex worded maths questions, which has made interpreting problems much smoother for him.

In Year 10, Jackson—who previously needed regular help with exam-style questions—is now tackling higher-level financial maths and normal distribution tasks almost entirely independently after focusing on memory techniques and self-review.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3 went from struggling with terminology at the start of sessions to confidently naming all main 3D shapes and even scoring full marks when working with more challenging numbers during practice.

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 Kahibah Public School.
