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…

Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence. Deep experience and thorough up to date knowledge, empathy (I am a parent to Yr 11 & 12 boys, as well as a tutor),…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

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…

I think the best thing a tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own.

Provide support both academically and mentally.

I would have to say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show them the beauty in a subject the student may not so much enjoy. This allows the student to achieve goals as their newfound perspective on the topic has changed to positive. I personally experienced this within my own studies. I went from a poorly achieving student…

Inside Kincumber SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac worked on all four operations with fractions, including converting between mixed and improper forms and simplifying equations, while also building confidence in using mathematical words within worded problems.

For Year 8, Emily practiced factorising and expanding algebraic expressions, moving from basic to more complex cases.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on interpreting graphs by identifying outliers and analysing data spread and location using real-life examples from recent assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left homework incomplete, which meant new concepts in algebra were harder to consolidate—"she did not do her homework set for her last week," one tutor noted, leading to slower progress in lessons.

In a Year 11 session, messy and disorganized graphing led to errors that weren't spotted until later; the working was scattered across the page, making it tough to backtrack.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student repeatedly avoided writing out steps on paper during division problems, instead trying to solve everything mentally and losing track mid-problem.

These habits created moments where confidence dipped or foundational skills stalled.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kincumber South noticed that one Year 9 student, Zac, who was initially hesitant to speak up, has started voicing his reasoning during problem-solving and now tackles previously tricky fraction questions with much more independence.

In a recent high school session, Zach's understanding of complex graphs improved so much that he began using his calculator efficiently and recognised patterns on his own, something he'd struggled with before.

Meanwhile, Lilly in Year 6 shifted from needing frequent reminders about formatting her maths work to organising her pages neatly and completing most calculations by herself.

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 Coast Christian School.
