While I believe it is obviously important to help a student learn and understand their chosen subject, it is also important to support and encourage confidence in a student. I found during my schooling years that the subjects I most succeeded in were ones where my teachers were kind and encouraging - it allowed me to feel comfortable to ask…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to inspire a sense of lifelong learning for the subject that is being tutored. My major strength is my appreciation of the subjects I tutor. Along with that, I always prepare myself with material, supplementary exercises and further reading before class. As a student engineer, I am also very adept…

The most important thing for a tutor would be the ability to establish a connection with students, letting the student know you are there to try and assist them. This in turn would allow for the student to feel more comfortable creating a more effective learning environment. I have an in-depth knowledge of my subjects and a flexible and adaptive…

I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic. By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to motivate him/her. Students look at tutors or mentors as their future or they get inspired by them very easily. Hence being that influential person is what I aim to do as a tutor. As a child, I admired my teachers and I got inspiration from them to do something which made me work…

Also, fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment is key for students to ask questions freely and grasp concepts without worrying about making mistakes. Lastly, finding alternative strategies for solving problems is very important if the student is stuck on a…

Inside Kenmore HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Kiri began by breaking down the Biology syllabus into key topics and completed a baseline quiz on genetics and evolution to identify strengths and gaps.

In Year 11, Zoe reviewed a recent maths exam to analyse errors, focusing on compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations from her current curriculum.

For Year 12, Jay tackled Chemistry revision questions involving trends in the periodic table, molar ratios, element charges, and electronegativity patterns to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students have shown organization challenges, particularly with managing separate notebooks for tutoring and school—one Year 10 student often wrote in "random places," making it hard to track progress or revisit feedback.

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student left drafts at home, limiting the usefulness of tutor feedback during sessions.

For a Year 12 Maths assignment, one learner struggled to structure her report and plan revision time; as noted, "she seems to have a difficult time to clearly understand how to structure and plan her report."

Meanwhile, missed homework in Year 8 led to gaps that resurfaced during class review.

Recent Achievements

One Kenmore Hills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with geometric sequences finally solved a tricky exam question independently—a real turnaround from past sessions where she needed step-by-step help.

In Year 9, another student moved from needing guidance on simultaneous equations to confidently writing detailed solutions and spotting errors without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5 began breaking down complex word problems by herself after finding them overwhelming before, even asking for extra questions once she realised she could handle them.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tammy is great.  She as a friendly manner and she is enthusiastic at every session. Lucy seems to like her and she has some great methods for teaching.  She engages Lucy and makes the sessions fun and interesting bringing things along to help Lucy understand what she is trying to teach her.  She is concentrating on what Lucy's weaknesses are while thinking ahead for Lucy for year 7. From  my observations of the sessions I think she will help Lucy enormously. I am very happy with Tammy to date and hope that she is happy to continue on with Lucy.

The tutoring with Shamir has been great so far.  Tyler is very happy with him and we can only look forward to an increase in Tyler's results through hard work and dedication. Shamir appears very dedicated to helping Tyler, which really shows through.  We are very happy with him so far.

We are delighted with Charlie as Gabrielle's tutor. He has been prompt, polite, pleasant and extremely helpful. Within 2 sessions I could see her confidence in attacking problem solving questions had improved and approach to Maths in general.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brookfield State School.
