Relating to my strengths as a tutor, I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is giving a thorough and concise explanation of every single concept to a student, in a way that isn't only just memorizing, but also using their own logic and thought process to understand and learn on their own as they go. This must all be applied in an…

Ideally, although admittedly ironic, you want a student to be able to stand on their own two feet and achieve their goals without the need of a tutor at some point. So, although the direct role of a tutor is to teach content, the wider, arguably more profound role of a tutor is to teach lifelong skills, habits, and techniques that students can…

In my humble opinion, I believe that ACTIVE LISTENING is the most important quality that good tutors must possess. - Good tutors must recognise that students generally have an idea of the topic at hand. Instead of simply continuing to "teach" it is vital that tutors ask students of their understanding of the topic so that gaps in knowledge can…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is understand their study habits and figure out the best ways to enhance their overall performance by improving the way of their study. If the tutor understands where their pupil is making a mistake, only then will the student understand it as well and will be able to work on it. As a…

Helping students togrow and succeed is the goal of every tutor I feel I am able to really get to know each of my students as a person--as an individual.

A tutor has to be committed to helping the student learn, rather than just getting through the session. Even if the entire session is spent on one question, that is better than leaving the student confused and unconfident in their abilities. Everyone can learn, some people just need more help grasping certain topics than others. It's my job to…

Lesson went great. Noah really liked him and will see him again.

Inside KelmscottTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sarah reviewed mean, median, and mode in statistics and completed practice on pie graphs and line graphs.

In Year 8, James focused on multiplying and simplifying algebraic fractions as well as using Pythagoras' theorem to solve for missing side lengths in right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through solving linear equations with two unknowns and practiced transposing equations to isolate variables efficiently.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student relied heavily on their calculator during classpad work, leading to gaps in manual problem-solving; as noted, "some questions or tests…require him to show his workings."

For a Year 9 algebra session, untidy layout and incomplete working made it hard to track errors—initial messy setting out led to mistakes when converting percentages.

In a Year 8 statistics lesson, homework was left unfinished and not brought to the session.

A primary student's missing notebook delayed the start of her maths tutoring by several minutes, disrupting focus right from the beginning of the session.

Recent Achievements

In a Kelmscott tutoring session, there was a noticeable shift in one high school student, Owen, who used to get stuck on algebra and linear equations but now asks for extra homework and recently taught himself how to find the distance between two points—a topic he once found confusing.

Another win came from Miriam (Year 9), who not only brought her own questions to sessions but has started completing her homework with hardly any errors after previously struggling to keep up.

For a younger primary student, Tawny showed new independence by correcting her own unit mistakes when calculating areas—something she needed lots of guidance on before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cassidy has had one session with Scott. Cassidy came home very positive, saying that Scott was great at explaining concepts and that he will benefit from his tutoring support. Cassidy related well with Scott and seemed very impressed by his level of knowledge and by his academic progress at university. In effect, Scott is a great role model for Cassidy. I hope this all continues well.

Thanks for your email, Mitchell is really excited to have Ken as his tutor, he made a great impression when he came along for a chat and that high expectation has continued. He has a natural way with him and engages well with Mitchell, unlocking the mysteries and some tricks to understanding Math. We also like that Ken is a skilled tutor in many subjects so are looking forward to a long term relationship with him as a mentor for Mitchell. Someone that has worked hard to achieve success which is what we all want for our children. Thanks again I feel this match will be a good one.

Yes we are very happy with Jacinta. She is lovely and Emily likes her. She seems to be very suited to Emily, as she has a very practical approach to helping Emily with her Math's, and understood straight away what Emily's basic needs were. We look forward to Jacinta tutoring Emily this year.

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