This involves nurturing their ability to analyze problems from various angles, encouraging creative thinking, and fostering independence in learning.

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

A tutor should be strict about discipline but at the same time friendly and lenient understanding students problem. He should be available on phone all the time for his students during the exam period.

Inside KilkennyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Elousia built confidence with multiplication tables up to 12 and practiced clear, well-spaced handwriting while writing a book review using new vocabulary.

For Year 8, James focused on rearranging linear equations and inequalities as well as graphing linear equations by hand, then revised Pythagoras' theorem and square roots.

In Year 12 English, Sarah worked on structuring essays using TEEL paragraphs and planned ideas for her analysis of Fly Away Peter in preparation for exam conditions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student often skipped writing out working steps and relied on "just seeing the answer," as noted: "she needed constant reminding to show all rearranging processes." This led to hidden errors in equations.

A Year 7 learner was observed losing focus easily during geometry tasks, sometimes guessing answers rather than carefully thinking through them, resulting in repeated mistakes that were hard to trace back.

Meanwhile, in a primary-level maths session, incomplete workbook exercises meant gaps in basic skills persisted—one tutor reported having to finish problems together instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Kilkenny tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously tended to guess at answers is now taking time to write out steps and check her work, especially on square root and rearrangement problems—showing much more care with process than before.

In a recent Year 7 session, a student who often hesitated to ask for help began talking through her thought process aloud when stuck, which helped her solve homework worded questions independently.

Meanwhile, an upper primary student has become confident recalling tricky times tables and now uses the bathroom wall chart at home to reinforce learning between 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 Civic Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Whitefriars School.
