Be present and engaged in each lesson and ensure they thoroughly understand each topic before moving on. I would say my main strengths are patience and communication. When it comes to breaking down questions, it helps to work through things slowly and ensure understanding at each…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them figure out how to learn in many different ways, thus setting them up for a lifetime of learning. It is also important for a tutor to encourage their student to improve and to celebrate these improvements. My main strength as a tutor is patience with struggling or distracted…

The most important thing I can do for my students is to help them reach their goals, i.e. if they want high grades help them with that, but if they just want to pass then helping them to do that is just as important I have a deep understanding of school content and syllabus, an appreciation of the subject, an ability to explain complex information…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student work through…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

Being a past past studnet at many various tutoring places, the most important quality for a tutor is to able to incur a friendly yet working relationship with their students.

If I have to pick one only, I think a positive attitude is the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Others like helping students build up their independence of learning and fall in love or not afraid of their learning. Positive, patience and encouragement. I have a positive attitude towards teaching and my life. I believe every kid…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide guidance and help whenever a student needs it. By providing students with the necessary help on problems that they may be struggling with, they will develop their own approach to solving problems and will eventually solve similar problems without assistance. As a tutor, I believe…

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

A lot of people think that if maths wasn't always easy for them that they will always be bad at it, I think it's important to show them they are also capable of doing maths and to not let low confidence stop them.

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience.

I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital. For me, in school no matter how much I was struggling (especially in maths) I found that having a great, understanding teacher, allowed me to not be afraid of asking ‘stupid’ questions. So for…

The most important thing for a tutor to incorporate into their lessons is personalisation. Tailoring the lesson or what they are teaching to best aid the student in areas of weakness.

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt. Each students brain is wired completely different, and in school, there’s not always an opportunity to work one on one. So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am super patient…

Inside KariongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen worked on understanding Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced applying formulas to real-world measurement problems, as well as revising volume and surface area for composite shapes.

In Year 9, Chloe focused on trigonometry using SOHCAHTOA to solve for unknown side lengths and angles, and also reviewed equations involving speed, distance, and time by tackling challenging practice questions.

Meanwhile, primary student Arielle (Year 6) strengthened her skills with perimeter and area calculations, then moved on to test revision covering surface area and the volume of shapes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student recently left his notes and workbook at school before an exam, leaving him without revision guidelines. "He didn't have any materials to reference," a tutor noted, so lesson time shifted to improvised preparation rather than targeted review.

In Year 10 English, limited written work was submitted for feedback, slowing progress in essay structure and spelling improvement—requests for more drafts were not always met.

For a senior Maths student, frequent late arrivals (up to 12 minutes) and device distractions meant most questions needed heavy prompting; the flow of independent problem-solving stalled as attention drifted elsewhere.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kariong noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem, left the session able to explain each step independently—just last week he needed constant reminders.

Another high schooler took real initiative for the first time by asking for extra homework to challenge himself, instead of waiting for tasks to be assigned.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who'd hesitated to speak up is now confidently breaking down word problems and explaining her reasoning out loud, finishing her three-digit multiplication worksheet on her own.

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 Kariong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kariong Public School.
