Helping students build confidence is arguably the most important and beneficial thing a tutor can do. I firmly believe that confidence is the building block of success, and that, by bringing it out of a student, a tutor can unlock the student's full potential, and empower them to expand their skills and capabilities. Volunteering as an instructor…

Be patient. Tutors cannot expect students to understand or get the question right the first time. It is important for tutors to understand where the student went wrong and to slowly and easily correct them by following the question. Once they grasped an understanding, tutors should give the student similar questions to practice so they are…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

I think the most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is make sure they not only know but actually understand the content, like having knowledge on a deeper meaning, so in a test if you face a nuanced question, you are able to solve it due to your in-depth understanding of the content. I was tutored in highschool which has allowed me to…

A tutor can transform a student's life by helping them become more confident in their academic career, which inevitably improves general confidence. Further, a tutor provides mentoring and coaching as experts in their field which a student can carry with them beyond school, ensuring they are set up for success in their chosen field. I believe a…

Ultimately, I think a good tutor teaches the student skills that they can utilize in their general learning and subject specific study. A tutor should be in a position to be a mentor to the student and share their experience in relation to studying their subject. This can help the student overcome what can initially be a daunting task as it is a…

Don’t make students memorize, make them understand it in their own way. A lot of the topics that are taught can actually be related to previous topics. If they can see that connection between each topic, then understanding tends to become easier. Also, we shouldn’t put too much pressure on them. That means don’t explain too quickly, but…

Local Reviews

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

Inside Kurraba PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lily worked on area of triangles using decimal and fractional multiplication, then tackled unknown side problems with practical examples.

For Year 8, Ava focused on congruency tests for triangles and quadrilaterals, using diagrams to identify key properties and revisited composite area and coordinate plane questions from her school homework.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily reviewed trigonometric ratios in preparation for upcoming assessments and practiced recognizing different angle relationships—complementary, co-interior, and alternate angles—through targeted problem sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often hesitated to attempt algebraic problem-solving questions, preferring decimals instead of setting out working for equations—this slowed skill growth in algebra.

In a senior year, "she frequently needed to refer back to notes for specific ratios," which interrupted focus during trigonometry practice and made revision less efficient.

For a Year 9 geometry task, the tutor observed that skipping clear layout meant errors went unnoticed until answers were checked together.

One student's tendency to avoid showing steps—especially with calculations involving area or conversions—meant time was lost retracing logic instead of moving forward with new material.

Recent Achievements

A Kurraba Point tutor recently noticed a big change in one Year 10 student: after struggling with time management in past Olympiad exams, she completed this term's paper more confidently and finished within the time limit, needing less guidance to spot her own errors during review.

In Year 11 maths, Charlie now tackles past papers independently—he highlights key concepts on his resources sheet and no longer needs notes for most questions, a shift from earlier sessions where he hesitated to work alone.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was reluctant to explain her reasoning is now much more open about sharing her thought process when solving geometry problems.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Loreto Kirribilli.
