Preparation, planning and a positive can-do demeanor. I believe listening to the student is essential, I have found that when a student gets 'stuck' on a problem they get either despondent or so fixated and frustrated. I initially work to ascertain what approach the student will be most responsive to and work with them from there. My patience and…

It is important to be patient and a good listener. Students learn at their own pace and you cannot push them. Even if something seems simple to you, for the student it might not be. Being a good listener means not dominating the conversation. Allow the students to ask questions and give the students plenty of time to answer your questions.…

Local Reviews

Excellent Tutor very kind and always explained things thoroughly.
Khalida

Inside Kangaroo GroundTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Shaan worked on consolidating fractions and decimals, using visual models to clarify tricky parts.

For Year 8, Noah reviewed linear equations and practiced interpreting different types of algebraic expressions from recent classwork.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily tackled probability concepts by solving worded problems and also revised Pythagoras' theorem through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling worded algebra questions often missed multi-part instructions—"she answered only the first part of two-step problems," as noted—which meant incomplete solutions even when her calculations were correct.

In Year 10, a student preparing for geometry tests left key formula notes unfinished, making it harder to apply methods consistently across topics like area and composite shapes.

Meanwhile, a senior student in Year 12 encountered time pressure during probability tests; the rush to finish led to skipped notations and missed marks.

After setbacks like these, confidence noticeably dipped during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Kangaroo Ground tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on algebraic equations—after revisiting earlier mistakes, she now tackles the majority of algebra problems without prompting and outlines where her errors are.

Another high schooler, who had previously hesitated to ask for clarification, has started raising specific questions about tricky geometry tasks during sessions, leading to clearer understanding of angles and composite shapes.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with spelling is now catching subtle errors independently in his homework and confidently inferring correct spellings for unfamiliar words.

Mina helped me to improve considerably so that I felt confident and capable going into my final year 12 exams.

Mina was excellent in helping my son with last-minute HSC exam preparation. Thanks Mina

Kicking myself for not starting tutor earlier! It would have helped tremendously with Jayden's studies and being able to work independently!

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 Warrandyte Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kangaroo Ground Primary School.
