The most important thing by far is engagement. Tutoring is good, although it can only do so much if the students interest is elsewhere. The best thing a tutor can do is help the student engage more in school as the student will spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% with a tutor so using that 80% to your advantage is the most important…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to foster confidence in their students to independently learn and build confidence in their skills. A tutor should also be able to inspire curiosity so that students become better learners in their field and ask questions. Lastly, the tutor should be flexible to personalise the…

I believe connecting with the student and understanding what their specific learning style and needs are is one of the most important things. One size does not fit all, that's the reason they're getting tutored in the first place because the school setting is not enough. Getting along and figuring out what works for them is key. I can connect well…

Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence. I grew up with 4 younger siblings (the youngest is now 6), exposing me to how children are at different stages of life. How they learn and think, what motivates them. I also received a band 6 in HSC advanced mathematics,…

The most important thing is to just be there for them, to understand their strengths and weaknesses and being able to help them where you can. It is also important to encourage your students as having that support can push them further than they think they can.

Guide their progress on working out a question on their own, rather than just giving them the answer as this enables them to solve similar problems by themselves in the future and develop their problem solving skills as well.

Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways: Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

Inside KotaraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Julian revised faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes before moving on to addition and subtraction with both two-digit and larger numbers.

In Year 9, Olivia focused on probability using Venn diagrams and two-way tables, working through worded problems to build confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lucas practised financial mathematics by interpreting multi-step worded questions about compound interest and depreciation, including rearranging relevant equations for his upcoming topic test.

Recent Challenges

During Year 11 Chemistry sessions, one student struggled to interpret questions using formulas correctly—"review of tritation calculations" came up repeatedly.

A Year 8 student's test performance flagged weak time management; as a tutor observed, "we identified Julian's weakness's such as time management during tests."

In Year 3 maths, confusion over unit places and writing numbers beyond thousands meant extra effort went into reworking basic steps rather than building new skills.

For a senior student preparing for HSC Physics, shallow formal responses revealed that exam question depth was not being addressed, which became evident when trial results fell below expectations.

Recent Achievements

A Kotara tutor noticed a big shift with one high school student who used to get stuck on multi-step financial maths questions—now, he works through conversions and period changes on his own and even asks for harder problems.

Another secondary student has become much more thorough; instead of skipping steps when tackling worded probability questions, he now writes everything down and checks each stage, which led him to correctly solve problems he struggled with just weeks ago.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who found shape names confusing at first can now confidently name all main 3D shapes without hesitation.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kotara South Public School.
