Understanding how the child learns is the single most important thing because you can't teach a child with autism the same as another child without, they both learn in completely different ways, personally I found it easier as a auditory/kinesthetic learner, meaning being taught and shown at the same time, whereas some thrive off just being taught…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student would be trying different methods to help their student learn. Sticking to the same structure when it comes to learning doesn’t work for everybody and different students learn in their own unique way. It is really important that the tutor adapts to this learning style so it helps the…

I had a really good tutor through year 11 and 12, helping me understand how important it is to make the students feel confident in themselves. I think the best way to do this is by creating a good relationship with them by providing a safe space to ask questions, focusing on what the students need and tutoring them in a way that helps each student…

Inside KarnupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Noah worked on analysing visual symbolism in picture books and practiced identifying and explaining different types of symbolism for his English assessment.

In Year 10, Sophie revised trigonometric identities and worked through the unit circle, as well as reviewing key concepts from her recent Trig test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam focused on probability using Venn diagrams and two-way tables, then practiced interpreting statistical data sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, run-on sentences and inconsistent paragraphing—especially during dialogue—made creative writing hard to follow. As one tutor observed, "He often didn't break paragraphs when a new person spoke."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student in essay-based subjects struggled to expand analysis points and set an effective tone; missing introductory sentences sometimes left arguments feeling unfinished under exam pressure.

In Year 7 Maths, skipping careful attention to decimal places caused errors that could have been avoided with slower checking.

A senior student preparing trigonometric identities relied heavily on memorised shortcuts, leading to mistakes in simplifying sin²θ + cos²θ = 1.

Recent Achievements

One Karnup tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on analysis essays; this term, he independently explained symbolism in both images and text, giving detailed examples without prompting.

Another high schooler who'd struggled to organise assignments now checks his assessment calendar at the start of each session and maps out tasks, instead of missing deadlines.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student—previously making small mistakes in trig—recently worked through sine and cosine wave problems using the unit circle methodically and only needed reminders for accuracy.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

It is going very well. Katie is a truly lovely person. Cassandra has responded well. It is going as well as it can. Cassandra is naturally avoidant of the subjects that she is being tutored in, currently with Katie we are doing one week on Maths and the following week on English and so on. Cassandra engages in the tutoring, and does seem to learn, despite her being sure that she doesn't need a tutor. My partner and myself are very busy at the moment and don't have time to tutor her ourselves, besides, she doesn't like to listen to us, whereas, she will sit beautifully with the tutor. So it really works in that way.

Thanks for your note. It seems to be off to s good start. We appreciate maths coaching and look forward to seeing Louisa and India work together.

As far as I know, the tutoring is going well. They actually meet at Sydney University library as it is a handy meeting point for both of them and a good place for them to work. I believe that they have a good understanding between them but I will talk to Georgina again today after her lesson.

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 Lakelands Library and Community Centre—or at your child's school (with permission), like Comet Bay Primary School.
