I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and free from judgment. Learning thrives when students are not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. My role is to meet each student where they are academically, to listen carefully to their needs, and to…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is empathise. Putting myself in their shoes and trying to understand what they go through and understanding their perspective of the world does half the magic! I am an efficient communicator. I can put concepts across in a way that the other person can understand. I have acquired certifications in…

Psychology Tutor Acton, ACT
I believe that a tutor shouldn't be perceived as a strictly authoritative figure - keeping the student engaged and building a strong relationship is a vital component in the effectiveness of the tutoring. Students - myself included - gain much more knowledge when lessons are more flexible. It usually takes me a few sessions to understand a…

Psychology Tutor Cook, ACT
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to improve a student's confidence with the subject they are tutoring. Once a student has the confidence that they can in fact figure it out they will be far more willing to put in the hard work to improve in the subject. A tutor must encourage their students to ask as many questions as they'd like…

Psychology Tutor Fadden, ACT
Help them overcome challenges, sometimes if something makes no sense it needs to be explained in a different way. A tutor can understand the personal needs of the child as well as understanding the material and use this to approach learning in a way which will be most helpful for the student. I also study psychology so in that we do learn about…

Tutoring with Hai Lun has been wonderful. My daughter adores her and her teaching style is outstanding.

Inside KingstonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Charlotte worked on exponents and squaring, as well as reinforcing understanding of equal fractions through targeted review.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on BODMAS and applying exponent rules in calculation practice.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia revised matrix operations—including addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication—and tackled related problem-solving questions to deepen her grasp of matrices in context.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student struggled to recall multiplication tables, which slowed progress on word problems—"8's and 7's are still a bit tricky," as noted during arithmetic drills.

In Year 9 algebra, one learner skipped setting out steps when solving equations, making it hard to spot sign errors or understand where confusion started.

A Year 11 student avoided writing full working in calculus revision, hesitant to attempt unfamiliar questions without prompting; this often meant strong ideas didn't translate into marks under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student sometimes relied heavily on calculator checks rather than building confidence with manual rearrangement of equations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kingston noticed that a Year 11 student, who previously hesitated with rearranging equations, is now independently spotting her own errors and correcting them without prompting.

Another high schooler recently began openly identifying which topics feel tricky for her, a shift from past sessions where she rarely voiced uncertainties—she's now quick to grasp core concepts once discussed.

In the middle years, one student used to rush through worded problems but has started pausing to break down each step methodically before answering. Last week, he completed all ten assigned questions accurately by applying this new approach.

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 Kingston Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Telopea Park School.
