Modern History Tutor Forestville, NSW
I believe a tutor should always be reliable, punctual, patient, kind, and supportive - as this creates a safe learning environment for all students. I am newly graduated, meaning I still recall all the emotions and stresses of high school, and know the content and structure of various subjects extremely well. I excelled at my own school in English…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

I believe creating a comfortable environment for the student to thrive in, and being able to adapt to different students learning styles are among the most important things a tutor can do. Alongside this, a tutor should be able to explain topics in an interesting, yet simple way, whilst simultaneously pushing the students knowledge. I am able to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like. Having being tutored myself, I didn't respond as well with someone who could not meet me at my level than I did with a tutor who I felt I could relate to and trust. I am calm and caring, which I think is really important in tutoring, especially when…

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support. School can often be an isolating and intimidating experience, and often students, despite being remarkably talented, feel afraid to take risks and go beyond what is expected of them. A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

Motivation and confidence are two key elements of student success, if I can support them in achieving a sense of self-efficacy regarding these elements, they are bound to see improvement. Students often know where they fall short in their work, they just need motivation to improve those areas. Once they know that they can achieve this themselves,…

Inside Killarney HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel revised fractions, decimals, and percentages by converting between forms and using visual models.

For Year 8, Emily focused on solving linear equations and interpreting distance–time graphs, practising both algebraic manipulation and graph plotting.

In Year 10, Sam tackled trigonometry—specifically Pythagoras' theorem—and worked through real-world measurement problems involving speed, distance, and time calculations.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was inconsistent across both primary and high school levels. For example, a Year 8 student "did not complete his homework again," which meant less opportunity to reinforce skills between lessons.

In Year 10, one student forgot much of the previously covered material before a test; the tutor noted this suggested "he hasn't been studying and revising the content."

Messy or incorrect layout appeared in Year 9 trigonometry—where failing to keep work tidy led to confusion when applying Pythagoras' theorem.

A senior student's over-reliance on mental calculation in conversion questions ("attempted to do it in his head") resulted in repeated small errors and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Killarney Heights tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to get stuck on financial maths now working through compound interest problems with less prompting, showing real independence during practice.

A Year 9 student, after several sessions of struggling to identify x- and y-intercepts, confidently found both and explained how they linked to gradients without relying on hints.

In primary years, one child who'd often mixed up times tables started applying them accurately in multi-step word problems—he finished all the questions in his workbook for the first time.

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 Forestville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Killarney Heights Public School.
