I consider the transference of inspiration to the student to be the most important and fulfilling thing a tutor can achieve. From inspiration births a work ethic, an attitude and an independence within the student that carries through their whole life. I believe that as an individual, you are your own CEO, CMO, CFO etc. As such, by teaching the…

Tutor Reid, ACT
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

Tutor Mawson, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic a tutor should have is to help motivate students with a positive…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to provide ongoing support and encouragement. It is crucial that tutors not only identify but also highlight the unique strengths of each student. This approach empowers tutors, as it allows them to build a better connection with their students and instill confidence in their abilities,…

The most important thing is to prepare fully for each lesson. I believe that both the student's and the tutor's time are precious. If a session is not well planned and structured, students are likely to walk away confused but unlikely to seek further clarification. Although the teacher might have saved planning time, they have restrained students…

Tutor Canberra, ACT
I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…

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.
