A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor.

To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient.

Inside Kotara SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Julian reviewed faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes using hands-on geometry questions and practised two-digit addition and subtraction before progressing to multi-digit number problems.

Year 8 student Aiden focused on financial mathematics, tackling compound interest and depreciation in worded scenarios and converting time periods for calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Zoe revised preliminary HSC maths with targeted practice on calculus concepts, functions, polynomials, and trigonometry to prepare for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student struggled with test time management and needed to be quizzed on what he knows for exams oncoming, as noted by the tutor.

During algebra practice in Year 8, another avoided writing out working, which made it hard to spot mistakes—really need to focus on this one.

A Year 4 learner found multi-digit numbers confusing when place value was missed; forgetting to update digits led to repeated errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 12 English, shallow formal responses meant feedback wasn't being fully acted on. This sometimes left gaps unaddressed before assessments arrived.

Recent Achievements

A Kotara South tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to financial maths: where he once hesitated, he now confidently works through multi-step questions and quickly spots compounding period changes without help.

In another high school session, a Year 9 student who previously struggled with worded probability questions is now breaking them down independently and has mastered the use of probability tables.

Meanwhile, a younger Year 3 learner moved from confusion to success by finally understanding key terminology in class discussions and correctly answering two questions that had stumped him just one week earlier.

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.
