i think the best thing a tutor can do in order to properly teach a student is for the tutor to try and put their level of thinking at the same level as the student in order to communicate effective information that is more likely to be retained by the student. i think my biggest strength is adapting to each students needs and way of learning. i…

I am a very patient teacher with the ability to carry my students along irrespective of their level of understanding. I interact with my students as a friend so that they can trust me to help…

Good communication. Being able to properly connect with the student is important in building trust so that the student is open and honest about their ability and will ask questions when they don't understand new or existing concepts. I am a slow methodical thinker. When it comes to tutoring, I like to break things down simply and start with the…

I feel one of the, if not the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is establish a sense of belief. If a student doesn't believe in their own ability and lacks confidence, then it is much harder for them to learn and more importantly it isn't enjoyable and rewarding. If a student believes in their ability then they are very likely to…

The most important thing for a tutor to do is not to continuously teach a concept but to teach it once (if the student has not learnt properly from school) and solidify that knowledge. It's also important to be not only a tutor, but a mentor as well. Strengths:: *Strong Communication of Ideas *Experience with Tutoring of all…

I challenge my students to be free-thinkers and am always open to suggestions from them. Uniqueness and originality are rewarded. Hence, these attributes will allow them to be confident and well…

With my previous experience both as being a tutor and being tutored by someone else, I believe a tutor should pay a fundamental role in empowering students to take ownership of their learning. Beyond improving marks academically, it’s vital that a tutor can help develop their student’s confidence, motivation and learn study and time management…

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.
