I think that a tutor shouldn't just rote teach a student problems so that they can pass exams, this leads to little useful learning on the students part. I think a tutor's most important job is to teach the student problem-solving strategies/learning methods as well as thoroughly work through the in's and out's of the content; alongside problems…

I think that students generally need a lot of support, and that a tutor should be able to provide an avenue through which a student is able to feel comfortable, supported and encouraged.

Working with students can be a challenge, especially if we're meeting to help them bring up low grades. One thing I do when I meet the student for the very first time is to ask them questions about their interests, like sports, school subjects, music and movies. In the math problems that I create, I incorporate references to these interests. It…

The tutors job is to highlight that and develop skills to transfer those proficiencies to other areas of the subject. Furthermore the tutor must be patient.

I think patience is the most important skill a tutor can have. Some students don't understand a concept right away, I had to have a concept explained to me multiple times before and if the tutor was patient I was not scared to ask. I think as I have been tutored before I knew what worked for me and what didn't so I could apply those ideas. This…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to enable a student with essential skills, both related to subject taught, as well as life skills. In this way, the student can go on to become an independent learner. My strengths are in being able to put myself in the child's shoes and explain the way he/she wants it. My weakness is that I often give…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is not to regurgitate information - that can be found by reading a book, or browsing the internet; but to inspire.

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.
