As a tutor, I believe it to be of utmost importance that the student does not feel helpless or lost in a certain school subject, as it is our duty to aid them as much as we can. By teaching and explaining ideas to our students with patience, it is with no doubt that our students will be able to grasp and fathom said ideas in no time. Most…

My students always have so much fun in my classes. I think it is important, because when students are enjoying themselves in the learning process, it makes it so much easier to learn. That is why I feel it is so important to build an easy rapport with students in the beginning, making the student feel at ease, and comfortable, putting the student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel confident with any subject or topic they are struggling with. To provide continuous guidance and support to them. To ensure that no student is left behind in any way. To motivate them to give their 100% in every subject. One of my biggest strengths as a tutor is to simplify…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just teach them their lessons - but also teach them better study habits. This will ensure that the students may learn to study on their own without the help of a tutor all the time, and that they may be able to grow as an individual prepared for bigger challenges (such as uni,…

Creating a supportive and comfortable environment is perhaps the most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student. When students feel safe and at ease, they are more likely to open up about their difficulties and ask questions without fear of judgment. This openness allows the tutor to better understand where the student is struggling and tailor…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is provide a learning environment free from both the rigid structure and inherent judgement present in centres of mass education. A calmer, more personal environment allows the establishment of time tables and study plans more conducive to the individual student. There is also…

You must be adaptable, and change according to how each student acts since every individual is very distinct, this will help cater to their differences (such as learning speed).

Inside KirribilliTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Xander focused on trigonometric ratios, using targeted practice to strengthen understanding for upcoming assessments, and also worked through a recent maths exam to address specific errors.

In Year 7, Soraya practiced identifying properties of quadrilaterals and triangles—including congruency tests—while briefly revisiting composite area questions as set by her school teacher.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Maya improved her ability to tell time on an analog clock (including "quarter to" and "half past") and completed multiplication exercises for fluency.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 trigonometry, one student repeatedly needed to consult notes for basic ratios, slowing progress during problem sets—she kept flipping back instead of recalling sine/cosine values.

In a senior class, another student hesitated with exam-style algebraic questions and often deferred to decimals when unsure, revealing a reluctance to attempt more challenging symbolic work.

A Year 7 learner struggled with messy layout on multi-step geometry tasks; as noted, "we're working on slowing down her working out so we can spot errors together." This led to confusion in converting between units mid-calculation and left both student and tutor searching for the misstep rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

In a Kirribilli tutoring session, Charlie, a high school student, completed a past exam paper without needing to consult her notes for most questions—a big step from earlier sessions where she'd pause or double-check formulas.

Another tutor noted Soraya, also in high school, now explains her thought process out loud and willingly shares how she tackles geometry problems; previously, she hesitated to speak up unless prompted.

Meanwhile, Xander in Year 3 moved from struggling with number sentences last week to confidently solving each one correctly this time around—finishing the worksheet on his own without 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 Customs House Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Loreto Kirribilli.
