I believe being available to answer questions and elaborating on concepts to make understanding them easier is an important aspect of being a tutor. Also, making sure the student is putting in the work rather than simply handing them the answers ensures the student is benefitting from their tutoring sessions. I am able to successfully communicate…

As a tutor, the most important thing is to tailor their lessons based on each student, as each and everyone has a different learning speed and ability. This ensures feedback and goals are realistic and achievable. I can sympathise with my student's…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to communicate effectively and enjoyment. Without clear communication, it is unlikely the student will grasp the concepts properly and would only lead to a lack of confidence in their ability. Without enjoyment, the student is likely to feel miserable learning about the subject, and would…

I think that tutors need to be supportive of their students, which can only be achieved by creating trust with them. By getting to know students, their goals, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their personalities and work styles, a tutor should aim to know a student so that the student is able to receive support from someone they know and…

Provide support, of course through teaching content, but most importantly by the way we deliver the information and provide feedback.

Tutoring with Elsa is going well and we are happy with the progress.
Rebecca

Inside KentlynTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student John worked on calculating area and perimeter for different shapes, including applying these skills to worded problem-solving scenarios and measurement conversions.

For Year 7, Oliver focused on revising algebraic simplifications and expansions by tackling questions from his recent exam and homework.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Lily reviewed statistics concepts like mean, mode, and median alongside practicing angle questions using targeted worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was reminded to attempt all assigned homework, as missing tasks limited exposure to challenging algebra and fractions.

In Year 10, over-reliance on mental maths led to repeated errors—"she needs to show working out during questions," noted one tutor, especially with time and date problems.

For a primary learner, skipping written steps in division caused confusion when tackling three-digit numbers.

Meanwhile, a senior student's marks dropped in algebra due to not distinguishing between 'x Ă— x' and 'x + x,' leading to sign errors that took extra lesson time to untangle.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kentlyn recently noticed some real progress across different year levels.

In high school, Oliver moved from hesitating over algebra to confidently sorting like terms and solving equation problems—he even saw a marked improvement in his latest exam compared to last year.

Another high school student started flagging tough homework questions instead of skipping them, showing she's now willing to ask for help when stuck.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to stumble over reading now follows lines without missing words and accurately places fractions on a number line up to one during lessons.

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 Campbelltown City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kentlyn Public School.
