The most important thing a tutor can do is to grow interest on the subject matter in the minds of the students. The only key to excel in science is through curiosity and I feel it is the responsibility of a teacher to sow the seed of curiosity in the mind of the student. I am a very patient individual which I think is the most important while…

Inside Kangaroo PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Sam worked through adding and subtracting logarithms as well as simplifying surds, focusing on step-by-step algebraic methods.

In Year 10, Jasmine tackled arithmetic sequences and their application to real-life problems using formulae.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Leo explored scientific notation and measurements of astronomical distances such as astronomical units (AU) and light years while learning key facts about the universe with practical examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for Mathematical Methods exams often relied on notes and formula sheets but, as one tutor noted, "skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This habit made it harder to spot mistakes during revision.

In Year 10 Chemistry, the written investigation lacked scientific terminology and clear extraction of key information from sources; this meant some criteria in the marking guide were missed.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's unfamiliarity with mathematical terms like "increase" or "total amount" led to confusion in multi-step word problems—especially under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Kangaroo Point tutor recently noticed Olivia proactively identifying her own areas of difficulty in Chemistry and helping plan targeted revision sessions for her upcoming exams—something she was hesitant to do last term.

Meanwhile, Andrew, also in high school, showed real growth by recalling key maths concepts from the previous year and independently applying them during his pre-grade assessment, a shift from needing reminders before.

In primary years, Amelie now consistently asks clarifying questions when unsure about new topics rather than staying quiet or guessing; last week she confidently solved unfamiliar data analysis problems after seeking guidance.

What they say about our tutoring

My child was tutored by Kelsi last year and she was a absolutely amazing. Always punctual, she ensured my child throughly learnt his content. My child wasn't a big fan of maths however kelsi managed to articulate the concepts in such a way that was simple and easy to understand that my child is now not afraid of maths but loves it !

El-Abed is tutoring Faith in Maths, he has understood & targeted her multiple gaps in Maths. Faith El-Abed has a great attitude & Faith is keeping focused after two sessions she has said its helping.

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 Brisbane Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Primary School.
