This should be achieved by positive talk and reinforcing the importance of clarifying concepts to the student. 2. Praising new achievements of the student to ensure that they feel encouraged to…

According to me, the most difficult part of life is being a student. Because there is a strict rule that students must pass all the subjects even when they are already mastered their favorite subject of study. But they lose their confidence and focus in their mastered subjects and they get lower grades. But the most important thing is that there…

Personally, an english tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and…

The best thing an english tutor can do for a student is listen to their needs, because it is evident in a classroom when a teacher doesn't know how to teach by the way they address the problem. Different people need the same issue explained in various ways, and so it is extremely important to have a great depth of understanding in order to…

I think that it's important for tutors to be patient and understanding. Just because a child doesn't get good test scores, it doesn't mean that they're incompetent. From my experience, kids can actually excell in subjects once they have the material explained to them in a way that they can understand. Ever since I was young, I have always excelled…

Inside Mount KemblaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isla worked on analysing texts for the Reading to Write English module and explored strategies for tackling assessment tasks, focusing on how to approach text analysis.

Year 12 student Tom received feedback on his English assessment draft and practised breaking down essay questions alongside close text analysis.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Noah reviewed statistics in mathematics, concentrating on calculating mean and standard deviation while working through his homework assignment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student encountered setbacks preparing for an upcoming exam due to unclear information about the task, as noted: "could only get so much done in a limited time."

In Year 8 mathematics, one learner did not review solved questions independently between sessions, which slowed consolidation of linear functions and formulae.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 child's written work was sometimes rushed—forgetting to check if sums were addition or subtraction led to avoidable errors during quizzes.

Across these grades, missed opportunities for self-review and lack of proactive preparation often resulted in last-minute stress or repeated mistakes during assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Kembla tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to start essays, now independently breaks down English assignments into clear steps and gets writing right away.

A Year 11 maths student, who previously struggled with algebraic concepts, managed to finish all the questions independently in the latest chapter—something she'd avoided attempting solo before.

In a primary session, a Year 3 student who used to rush through addition without checking now carefully marks her tens when carrying over and handed in homework free from mistakes.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Kembla Public School.
