Creating a good relationship with student: If a relationship of mutual understanding is created where the student and teacher can bounce ideas of each other and the student feels appreciated, the…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is be adaptable to the student's working style as this will enable them to learn mathematical concepts in a way which specifically and effectively works for them. I also believe that believing in the student is very important. I found that when I struggled in year 11 and 12 with certain…

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction. Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what a tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer might…

Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most. There is a difference between doing all the work for the child and actually teaching how the problem can be approached and observing how the student does it him/herself. If the child is stuck on a concept, it is my responsibility to help the…

Local Reviews

I am very impressed with Nikki and the way in which your company operates. Emily had a session with Nikki on Monday in preparation for her algebra topic test on Tuesday and she received 72%!! She would normally get in the 40s for this type of test maybe less for algebra. We are reaping the rewards of Nikki's tutoring already. Very pleased indeed and Nikki is also a great role model for Emily in the way she presents herself and her attitude to life in general. Thank you for your exceptional service.

Inside Kangaroo PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Grace revised equivalent fractions and tackled 24-hour time, then moved on to practice finding fractions of whole numbers and converting between units of weight using her online homework.

Year 7 student Olivia reviewed her latest maths exam before focusing on more advanced algebra problems in preparation for Year 8.

For a Year 11 student, recent sessions included working through sequences and series as well as an introduction to differentiation of inverse trigonometric functions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student lost confidence tackling multi-step algebra and often avoided writing out full solutions; as one tutor observed, "she skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 10, another student struggled to complete comprehension tasks within time limits, spending well over the suggested 10 minutes.

For a senior student preparing for exams, study notes show an over-reliance on open-book practice instead of timed or closed-book conditions—meaning recall under pressure remains weak.

Meanwhile, a primary learner was confused by conversions between units but hesitated to attempt more challenging word problems without support. The result: progress slowed when new content demanded independent thinking.

Recent Achievements

One Kangaroo Point tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to struggle with structuring biology answers now confidently outlining responses on her own, showing she's internalised effective study techniques.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough in algebra: after weeks of hesitation with factorising, he tackled new expressions and even asked for harder questions, demonstrating genuine initiative.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who was previously shy about asking for help started raising her hand whenever stuck instead of quietly guessing—last session, she completed all her fraction problems without prompting or reminders.

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 Sylvania Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bald Face Public School.
