The most important thing a tutor can do is to practice empathy in order to ensure the student knows they're in a safe environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Being kind and really listening to what they say to you is also essential, as you don't want them to feel like they can't talk to you, as this will result in…

Listen to the student patiently. Different students have a different understanding capacity. Therefore, a tutor should be flexible to adjust to the level of the student and explain to him/her about the subject. I am an active listener and a patient one. These two go hand in hand as it is really important for me to understand the student's needs,…

Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

Depending on how much help the student needs, the tutor might need to help them regain the basics of the subject. Further and simplified explanation is crucial to such a type of student. Students who question their abilities need reinforcement of their knowledge through exercises, feedback and encouragement from the tutor. For those who wish to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for their student, is tailor their teaching application to the student's needs and personality. Each individual is different, and there is no single one way of teaching. I believe students incredibly appreciate a teacher or tutor that will listen to their needs, and to see where their main focal…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a kind, and patient individual.

This is why I think being someone your student can trust is very important in helping them learn. Patient, good…

A good tutor needs to have a variety of qualities in order to bring out the best in a student. Tutors need to be able to personalize learning, no two students learn the same and as such it would be incorrect to assume that the same teaching strategy will work for every student. Tutors should also not simply teach content to students, they need to…

Inside Kembla HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isla focused on simplifying fractions, applying the order of operations, and converting numbers to percentages.

Year 12 student Natalia reviewed algebra concepts by solving chapter exercises and worked through area-related questions, checking her understanding along the way.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Tom completed worksheets covering key topics in algebra and survey data interpretation, practising how to break down expressions and apply them to real-world examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student faced difficulty preparing for an upcoming exam because key information about the task was missing, leading to uncertainty and last-minute revision.

In a Year 8 maths session, over-reliance on reviewing solved examples meant independent practice was limited; as noted, "he needs to review the formulas and practice again" instead of just looking at worked solutions.

For a Year 3 child learning subtraction, forgetting to check whether the question required addition or subtraction led to repeated errors—"sometimes does not look to check if the sum is addition or subtraction." This created confusion during timed quizzes.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kembla Heights recently noticed some great steps forward across different ages. One Year 11 student who previously froze when tackling English essays has started breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and now drafts an introduction independently before asking for feedback.

In maths, a Year 9 student moved from hesitating on finance questions to working out total brokerage and dividend yield with minimal prompts, even double-checking answers unasked—a big shift from relying on step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to rush through subtraction now carefully checks her work, handing in homework with no errors for the first time.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Kembla Public School.
