From personal experience, I have had a few unfair and unsatisfactory experiences with tutors throughout my schooling journey. As a result, I have learnt from those experiences and structured my services in regards to having the student as the main focus. As a tutor, the most important thing I can do is explain and walk a student through unfamiliar…

As a Licensed Engineer, it is a strength because most of engineering subjects revolves in math and science. I do have a pride in my license for this…

Encouragement. Learning something new can be hard. Things that do not come easily have the potential to discourage us, but the only way for anyone to fail is if they give up. As a tutor it is my number one priority to emphasize the successes of each student, and to find ways to inspire them to keep trying to learn. I will consider each session of…

Of course being able to teach and make the student understand the lesson. But understanding does not simply imply understanding just for the sake of passing the subject in the Uni, understanding the lesson means how the learning can be applied to practical experience or to day to day living. Touching the mind is tantamount to influencing a…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student extend beyond academic instruction. While helping students grasp challenging concepts is crucial, equally vital is fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. A tutor should adapt teaching methods to suit the student's unique learning style, provide constructive feedback, and…

Make sure that you're not doing the work for them, only assisting them in their learning- For it will be them sitting the exam come the end of the year. By teaching them not only the subject matter but also the skills to mold themselves to every problem or question, you'll be instilling confidence in them that no matter what is introduced to them…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to teach themselves. Instead of spoon-feeding students the answers to specific questions, a good tutor helps students understand how to think to devise a solution for any problem they encounter.

The most important thing is to develop the students confidence and give them the ability to take on problems on their own later down the track. I feel that this is the main key to success as without this ability the student will give up half way. Empowerment and showing them that it isn't as hard as what they think is crucial. I am a very patient…

Primarily, a tutor needs to be a good listener. Listen the problems of an individual carefully and provide the solution.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with "methods" of learning instead of explain the concepts as they are. Because with methods, students can apply the methods elsewhere. Another thing is to teach students how to "become" a tutor as well. Because this is the way I learn difficult subjects. I imagine…

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.
