Tutor Yattalunga, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student work through…

The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence.

Help them enjoy learning.

As well as this, it is vital that a tutor guide the student to a solution rather than simply giving them the answer, allowing them to…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students.

It is important for tutors to explicitly explain and model how to solve mathematical problems to begin with and then gradually reduce assistance until the student is able to work independently. It is also important for tutors to motivate students through positive reinforcement and to incorporate metacognitive strategies. My strengths as a tutor…

Jacques was great! Theo cannot stop talking about him and he is very excited for his next lesson! I think you found a great match for Theo. Jacques was very kind and very good at communicating with Theo and he did not get angry / frustrated at him which was really important to me. Theo is eager to learn more about him which I know will make him want to learn from him

Inside KincumberTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac focused on fraction operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of mixed and improper fractions, as well as understanding mathematical language like "of" meaning multiply.

For Year 8, Yillen tackled Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and then shifted to revision for an upcoming test by reviewing past exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava worked through the formulas for area and circumference of circles and extended her learning to sectors and arcs using real-life examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student left notes and schoolwork at home, making exam revision less effective. "It was difficult to revise as he didn't have any guidelines," a tutor noted.

For Year 5 mathematics, incomplete homework meant gaps persisted in fundamental operations and delayed progress into probability.

A Year 10 student rushed through algebraic problems without showing working, which led to repeated sign errors that were hard to trace.

Messy graph work in Year 7 made it difficult to spot where misunderstandings began—answers ended up scattered across the page with inconsistent handwriting and unclear layout.

Recent Achievements

During a Kincumber tutoring session, Olivia began to independently apply area formulas by neatly writing out each step and substituting values herself—a big shift from previously forgetting these details.

In another lesson, Zac, who was once hesitant to speak up, started tackling fraction problems with much more confidence and volunteered his reasoning before the tutor prompted him.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, Ivy surprised her tutor by explaining how she solved addition and subtraction questions out loud—something she'd avoided last term—and finished a full worksheet without needing reminders.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kincumber High School.
