Be able to answer questions, both about the content and work as well as study habits and tips to do well on tests and exams. A tutor must also be able to teach in various ways to suit the students learning methods. Recently completing year 12 I have good study tips and I am determined to help the student and will aim to teach in which ever way…

I believe that doing the work with the student instead of doing the work for the student is vital for consolidating their learning. Being patent with the process of learning is likely to also be highly important. I take the perspective of the person I am tutoring into consideration. I am able to explain mathematical concepts clearly and easily,…

I think the most important thing is to instil them with confidence, as I have found that this is one of the biggest problems that slow down the understanding of something. Something new can look very daunting, especially when it comes to maths. Because of my experience a a recent student, I can more easily understand the road blocks that cause…

Not to critic harshly. I believe you should praise on a student's try and highlight what portion of their "solution" was done right, but then with a gentle tone, explain what portion they did wrong. If you lower a student's motivation, they're less likely to be ambitious to learn and try. Furthermore, a tutor should insist on their student(s)…

the most important thing is for the tutor to teach how the student best learns. We are not in large class rooms, so we have the luxury, to teach in specific ways, that might only be good for that one student. I'm patient and can therefore spend as much time as the student needs on any given topic. I'm thorough, so I make sure there are no…

A tutor can guide a student, by outlining what their goals should be at the end of the learning the subject and how to get there. They can set them worksheets to complete and notes to further understand the subject.

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.

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.
