I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set. By giving students the tools to succeed but letting them work through the problems first, it allows them to put forward any errors or miscommunications, which can then be…

Vineeta, Kenmore Hills

Inside Kenmore HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Kiri began by breaking down the Biology syllabus into key topics and completed a baseline quiz on genetics and evolution to identify strengths and gaps.

In Year 11, Zoe reviewed a recent maths exam to analyse errors, focusing on compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations from her current curriculum.

For Year 12, Jay tackled Chemistry revision questions involving trends in the periodic table, molar ratios, element charges, and electronegativity patterns to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students have shown organization challenges, particularly with managing separate notebooks for tutoring and school—one Year 10 student often wrote in "random places," making it hard to track progress or revisit feedback.

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student left drafts at home, limiting the usefulness of tutor feedback during sessions.

For a Year 12 Maths assignment, one learner struggled to structure her report and plan revision time; as noted, "she seems to have a difficult time to clearly understand how to structure and plan her report."

Meanwhile, missed homework in Year 8 led to gaps that resurfaced during class review.

Recent Achievements

One Kenmore Hills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with geometric sequences finally solved a tricky exam question independently—a real turnaround from past sessions where she needed step-by-step help.

In Year 9, another student moved from needing guidance on simultaneous equations to confidently writing detailed solutions and spotting errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5 began breaking down complex word problems by herself after finding them overwhelming before, even asking for extra questions once she realised she could handle them.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brookfield State School.
