I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

I believe that tutors should provide all-round mentorship to students and that this is one of the most important things that can come of tutoring; helping them to feel more confident in approaching problems they have in their everyday lives and to search for the answers to the questions that they have about the world around them. I am very patient…

The most important things a tutor can do for students is to take the steps to give the student a deeper appreciation for their knowledge, and show real world applications for the skills taught. A student is more likely to pay attention if there is something they know they gain from it, rather than just higher grades. My ability to teach on a…

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience.

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital.

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student in my opinion is to give them guidance on how to be successful in the subject we tutor. At the end of the day we only see them once or twice a week. We can't teach them everything. So it is important that we guide them on how to learn and study in order to be successful.

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

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.
