Making sure the student actually understands the content being taught. A lot of students have been in that situation where a teacher may ask the student whether they understood the topic presented, and even if they didn't, they would say they did to not slow the class down or bring attention to themselves. This is what tutoring in my belief should…

Help them learn the way they learn best.

The most important thing about being a tutor is definitely creating output for the student as effectively and efficiently as possible. However, this cannot be done in a way where the student feels obliged to come to your sessions to study. They must enjoy the environment so that they are doing this happily and to their own accord. I am persistent,…

Tayden's lesson with Janelle went quite well. They got along pretty well and Janelle is quite an experienced tutor with a lot of patience.
Olivia, Underwood

Inside KurabyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7, Ella focused on decimal addition and subtraction as well as practicing both 2 x 2 digit and 3 x 2 digit multiplication; meanwhile, Year 8, Marcus worked through order of operations in word problems and solved volume questions involving measurement conversions.

In senior Biology, Year 11 student Lily reviewed karyotype interpretation and discussed the roles of different RNAs in protein synthesis alongside constructing energy flow diagrams for ecosystems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's maths work showed a tendency to skip setting out full working for complex equations, making it difficult to catch errors—"his thinking for these questions was correct, but layout needs work."

In Year 11 Biology, another student did not spend enough time reading studies in detail before analysis, which slowed progress on the research investigation.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often guessed answers rather than using drawings or calculations when tackling multiplication and word problems.

In each case, rushed or incomplete processes led to confusion or repeated mistakes during practice and revision.

Recent Achievements

A Kuraby tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid exam-style biology questions now confidently summarising the process of nondisjunction in her own words when prompted, showing real ownership of complex genetics content.

In Year 8 maths, another student who previously struggled with setting out calculations is now consistently writing complete expressions for worded problems and double-checking unit conversions independently.

Meanwhile, a younger learner who would guess times tables answers has begun using anchor facts and visual patterns to solve unfamiliar multiplication questions, choosing strategies herself without prompting from the tutor.

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 Logan North Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kuraby State School.
