A student will need a tutor because he/she couldn't understand what was being taught in class. The best thing for a tutor to do is focus on the parts that the student failed to understand and strengthen their understanding in those areas. Anybody's hold on Science is only as good as their understanding of the basics. So, it is best to focus on the…

As a tutor the most we can do for is a student is to encourage them to not just learn what's in the book but also to understand the concepts with a greater depth. The other thing that tutor can do for a student to maximise their educational growth is to try and make them understand the points where they are wrong and not just to do their work for…

Chemistry Tutor Blair Athol, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do is help the student become **independent in their thinking**. It’s easy to just show solutions, but that creates dependency. A good tutor instead builds the student’s ability to approach problems on their own—how to think, how to break things down, and how to recover when they’re stuck. That…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

A good tutor should firstly ensure that the student has a solid grasp of the foundational knowledge underpinning their subject, before moving on to teach more complex concepts. This is because oftentimes a subject's more advanced concepts will draw heavily from assumed foundational knowledge. Additionally a tutor can instill confidence in a…

Inside KensingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Daniel focused on simple and compound interest calculations in Financial Mathematics and practised problems on measurement, including perimeter and area.

Year 11 student Emily worked through key trigonometric concepts such as the unit circle, radian measure, and applied the sine rule to solve non-right-angled triangle questions using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled Specialist Mathematics topics by solving induction proofs—including divisibility—and practiced matrix operations like multiplication and finding inverses with guided textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, difficulties with sentence structure and paragraph flow meant written pieces were sometimes hard for the reader to follow; as a tutor noted, "all of the right information was there, but often in an order that meant a lot of jumping around."

For a Year 10 mathematics student, interpreting assignment questions accurately proved challenging—occasionally leading to incomplete or misdirected responses.

In senior maths (Years 11–12), several students received feedback on not applying tips from previous sessions when tackling advanced quadratic and matrix problems; "needs improvement with solving higher order & complex multiplication of matrices" captured this missed opportunity for growth. This resulted in repeated errors despite prior guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to rush through assignment questions now pausing to break them down and ask clarifying questions before starting—something he hadn't done a few months ago.

In high school maths, another student who previously struggled with quadratic equations is now confidently using both factorisation and the quadratic formula, checking each answer independently.

Meanwhile, a primary-aged learner has shifted from copying text for assignments to consistently rewriting information herself. Last session, she researched material and summarised it without any prompting.

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 Norwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Memorial School - Junior Primary Campus.
