Lecturing and tutoring not only help the students to understand the knowledge and achieve the academic purpose, but also guide them to construct the way of thinking.

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Become students’ friends so you can lead the children to the book, most students don’t want study because the teacher is too strict and always pushing them, if the tutor can become their friends, they can lead the student to study voluntary.

In my opinion, being a person that students are comfortable with to reach out for help is one of the most important things. A tutor should be there to assist them, not add stress or pressure to them. I also think it is important for tutors to motivate the students to learn, instead of just giving answers, and in motivating them, tutors should be…

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. 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…

The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing. Its okay to make mistakes but if your student is afraid of you , they would never ask questions and will be afraid to make mistakes so the tutor will never be able to…

Excellent service when I telephoned to inquire about a tutor in my area. The tutor was polite, friendly and, most importantly, knowledgeable in her field.

Inside Kensington GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Emily focused on subtraction and multiplication, using visual aids to strengthen understanding of number facts.

In Year 11, Olivia worked through quadratic equations and practiced sketching graphs of parabolas to build confidence with exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled differential equations and explored statistical regression techniques, applying these concepts to real-world data sets during the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student often left school homework unfinished, and as a tutor noted, "missed a lesson," which meant less time reinforcing number skills.

In one session, a Year 11 student struggled to write out questions and answers clearly during algebra work—untidy working made it difficult to spot errors or explain thinking later.

For a Year 9 test on geometry and simultaneous equations, there hadn't been enough revision time; gaps showed up in the result.

After setbacks, one Year 10 student expressed low confidence about her maths test score, despite likely doing better than she believed.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington Gardens tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now takes the lead on tough integration problems and recently reported their latest test was probably their best yet.

Another high schooler showed newfound independence by working through challenging vectors questions without prompting—just a few sessions ago, they needed step-by-step support.

In primary maths, Aryo started bringing his own homework to lessons and now answers many questions unaided, especially around times tables and fractions; last week he finished an entire worksheet unaided.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
