Listening to a student's main concerns/goals and having a plan are two of the most important things I believe a tutor can do for a student. I believe it is crucial to an individual's learning experience if the tutor understands what they are struggling with, in order to come up with a plan that is tailored to their struggle. This is important as…

A tutor should make learning clear and engaging, adapt to the student’s learning style, encourage questions, and help build confidence and problem-solving skills. Providing feedback and a supportive environment is also essential to keep students motivated. I am patient, adaptable, and able to explain concepts in a simple way. I focus on building…

Helping students to learn and progress in a way which suits their learning style and ways of thinking is an important thing tutors can do for students. If a tutor can adapt to this I believe the student will learn both with more efficiency and more enjoyment. This enjoyment is also of great importance to help students come to a love of learning,…

Science Tutor Hobartville, NSW
Tutors can help give students the foundational understanding and confidence needed to independently apply new skills. This can often make students appreciate or even enjoy subjects they may have previously thought were too difficult. I very much understand the importance of being patient and kind when tutoring. I am also a reliable person with a…

The most important things a tutor can do are to understand the student’s individual learning needs, build their confidence, and provide clear guidance. A good tutor should encourage questions, offer constructive feedback, and help students develop strong study habits so they can succeed independently, not just in exams but in long-term learning.…

A tutor should take the time to understand each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and goals. This enables the tutor to tailor their teaching approach and materials to meet the student's specific needs. Moreover, a tutor should encourage active learning by engaging students in discussions, asking questions, and involving them…

Inside KurmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sienna practiced the split and compensation strategies for addition and subtraction, as well as multiplication fundamentals, through step-by-step worked examples.

In Year 8, Luke focused on algebraic equations by learning how to move pronumerals across the equals sign and applying BODMAS rules to simplify expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Isaac revised key skills in mathematics by tackling word problems involving fractions and reviewing BODMAS alongside long division techniques.

Recent Challenges

During a Year 10 algebra lesson, a student frequently lost focus, doodling instead of working—"he often writes something on his page or does a drawing which significantly lowers his concentration," noted the tutor. This led to forgotten formulas and trouble applying them to mixed problems.

In Year 8 English, another student's knowledge gaps persisted after long breaks with no revision; attempts to recall previous work resulted only in basic answers, showing weak retention.

Meanwhile, a primary student preparing an adolescent presentation left compulsory criteria unfinished until the last minute, causing unnecessary stress as the deadline loomed.

Recent Achievements

One Kurmond tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to get distracted easily during maths; this week, he maintained focus for the whole lesson and showed real interest by comparing time zones without prompting.

In a recent high school English session, another student took feedback on essay structure seriously and began drafting paragraphs more independently, rather than waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who previously hesitated to ask questions now actively seeks help when stuck on place value problems, even explaining her thinking out loud before moving on to new sums.

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 Richmond Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kurmond Public School.
