It all comes back to confidence for me, when a student is confident in a subject again it can then translate into other areas of academia and even life. I firmly believe all students are capable of extraordinary feats and the support I show for my students allows for them to start believing that as well. My principal strength in tutoring is my…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them stand on their own feet.

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think an english tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them. Usually in a classroom, due to the overwhelming number of students, teachers aren't always able to help students individually. Therefore, sometimes a student that is struggling is only struggling because they learn better with…

Local Reviews

Dushyant has been a great tutor for myself and I am already starting to see some real improvements in both my understanding of maths as well as my attitude towards the subject itself. Dushyant has been very reassuring and supportive, giving me a boost in confidence that I will be able to pass the test ahead.

Inside Kippa-RingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Libby worked through differentiation, tangents to equations, and sketching cubic functions, applying these skills to her PSMT assignment.

For Year 11, Olivia focused on discrete random variables—calculating variance, standard deviation, and expected value—using real data examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia practised converting between fractions, decimals and percentages as well as simplifying algebraic expressions and solving basic algebraic equations for homework review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, when working through calculus problems, often made small errors with negatives during differentiation and struggled to recall the exact value triangles for trigonometry—"he should definitely try to avoid those little mistakes as much as possible."

In Year 8, one student repeatedly mixed up area and circumference formulas for circles; not having these memorised slowed down problem-solving.

A Year 4 student forgot their homework booklet and did not complete assigned tasks several weeks in a row, leading to extra time spent catching up instead of moving forward.

For another younger learner, messy and oversized handwriting in English meant answers were sometimes hard to read or mark accurately.

Recent Achievements

A Kippa Ring tutor noticed one high school student who used to get stuck on indices now tackling them confidently after a bit of practice, even asking for extra algebra review by request.

Another older student who initially hesitated with the product and quotient rules in calculus was able to recall these from previous sessions and apply them independently, moving on to trigonometric equations without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who started out shy and quiet has begun speaking up more during lessons and will now try tricky maths problems aloud—even when unsure—rather than staying silent or waiting for help.

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 Redcliffe Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kippa-Ring State School.
