I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe, encouraging space where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. It’s not just about helping them understand the content, it’s also about building their self-belief and showing them that they "can" succeed. A good tutor should also adapt their…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them want to study a topic, to present a topic in a certain way that makes the student more enthusiastic to learn. Although understanding a subject is extremely important, I believe the students' willingness to learn is equally important as trying to teach a student to…

I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed. I think this allows tutors to strategize methods in helping students progress, learn and succeed. This must be done with patience, constant assessment of student's progress, and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to put in time. They need to act as if it's not just a job which pays. Prepping lessons early, helping with questions outside of tutoring time, marking tests.

The most important thing I believe a tutor can do for the students is to understand and listen to them and their needs.

In addition, it allows…

I believe the most important thing here would be to ensure the student understands what is being taught and is able to move forward in their learning.

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students.

They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

I feel the strengths as a tutor are to help my students to set a high expectation, which motivates them to work towards that. Another strength would be to be honest and transparent with students about how to succeed. And as a tutor, it is our duty to make sure that students know you believe in them and want them to succeed. I'm a team player. I…

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student. The passion with which the tutor teaches the student matters a lot and this also influences the students influence on the subject.

Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition.

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.
