The most important thing a tutor can do for the student is to create a transformative learning experience. Of course, being a tutor that can explain concepts well is a vital but beyond that, in my opinion, exceptional tutoring is where the tutor can support and cultivate self-growth and self-reliance in students so they can carry on these habits…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is offering unconditional support while teaching kids. Children need a secure, calm, and nurturing environment to help them grow, so I believe offering these traits to kids while tutoring them is so important. To be a successful tutor, they have to possess qualities in which assists…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

The first and most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them improve in academics. Tutor can possibly make the content much easier for the students to understand that would help them achieve good grades. Other than academics, it is also important that students build up other skills, like, time management, managing…

Believing in your student has to be one of the most important things a tutor can do as you help the student know that nothing is impossible and they can do it all. I also think patience is also important as everyone learns differently and at various paces. I believe I am easy to communicate with. In terms of communicating with parents, my…

It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is inspire and motivate.

The student is then able to develop their confidence in their subjects, push to achieve their goals,…

Eli is doing so well with Filip. Yesterday was only his third lesson with but he already feels like Filip understood the areas which need attention and he helps him to understand the questions better. He now looks forward to his tutoring lessons, which he was def not keen about at the start. Thank you so much for your help and we look forward to continuing our lessons with Filip.

Inside KalingaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex focused on simplifying fractions and finding highest common factors, then tackled percentage word problems involving ratios.

For Year 10, Jackson reviewed the cosine rule and practiced graphing exponential functions, also reinforcing power and index laws using variables in algebraic contexts.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Priya concentrated on identifying turning points and intercepts when graphing quadratics, using step-by-step worked examples to deepen her understanding of these key features.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student hesitated to write full working for complex rearrangements, which sometimes hid calculation slips—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

For a Year 11 calculus assignment, feedback from the draft was not always implemented; small errors recurred even after comments were given.

In Year 7, confidence issues with mental arithmetic led to second-guessing and slowed progress during worded problem tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student often forgot key parts of multi-step questions in number patterns until prompted to re-read instructions. This left gaps in answers that only became obvious at review.

Recent Achievements

One Kalinga tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess through multiple-choice maths problems now pausing to cross out obviously wrong answers, narrowing down her choices and explaining her thinking aloud.

A Year 12 student who struggled with rearranging complex equations in physics began independently switching between variables and even anticipated how to revolve an area between two curves before it was formally introduced—showing new initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student grasped fraction operations so well after one explanation that she confidently completed the next set of questions without hesitation or extra help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Alycia is going along nicely and is getting on really well with Katherine. So we very pleased with the tutoring Alycia is getting.

Karina is lovely and I think she will work out just fine. Amelia is very happy with her  and they seem to be getting along fine. I hadnt realised Amelia was so far behind, and am actually glad she asked me to find help.

We are really happy with Hayoli as a tutor.  I don't like to compare but she is 100% better at explaining things than the last tutor.  The difference is quite amazing actually.  She is very efficient, just comes straight in and gets straight to work.  No chit chat at all (which I don't mind).  She actually brings in resources that she thinks will help Amy and seems like she has a plan, rather than just turning up with nothing prepared.  I can highly recommend Hayoli. Thankyou for finding Hayoli for us.  She is amazing,

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 Nundah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Eagle Junction State School.
