I think making students feel like they're being seen and heard is a really powerful thing, and to make clear that a tutor isn't just a fixed resource like a book or a video but someone you can interact with and learn from just from someone being there to guide you. I think learning from someone showing you is so much more powerful than just…

Finding a love for the subject that they are learning, making them eager to learn rather than feeling forced. Additionally, it is important that a tutor helps nurture understanding rather than simple memorization. I am confident at breaking down complex topics into simple, easy to follow bits, that when put together form a good understanding of…

In general, I aim to build confidence and self-belief in a student in order to be independently successful. I find that most students are capable of understanding and learning difficult topics but a limited belief in their abilities prevents them from performing to their best ability. Available at any time. I feel I can relate and have fun with a…

Make students feel comfortable. As someone who had a lot of trouble finding tutors throughout middle school and high school, teaching in a way the student can enjoy and connect to is really important, and can be the difference between seeing a subject as "the worst" to actually having fun. Visualizing concepts! I am often complimented on my…

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,…

Furthermore, the tutor must be enthusiastic about the subject, if the student sees that…

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…

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.
