I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to find the right method of teaching for each individual student that will enable them to learn at their maximal capacity.

It's important is to not show the student everything and complete their work for them.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to believe in them. When a child's role model believes in them they begin to believe in themselves and, I believe, that is the first step to accomplishing great things. If a child believes that they have the ability to do something they are more inclined to put more effort…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thomas Attard has been great, Max likes him and seems to be making progress and we are happy with the service.

We are extremely pleased with Hilario and would be happy to recommend him to anyone. Alison is a bit picky and Maths is a subject she hates but feedback from her has been really positive. She commented this morning that if her school teachers were like him, she wouldn't have been having issues with Maths.

I am really happy with Gabriele and the confidence she is providing the girls in their maths.

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.
