I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to assure them that they are making progress. They shouldn't be compared to their peers, but rather themselves from before. I'm very patient and I understand that the reason many of the young people going to extra tutoring do so because they need help. I am aware that the students…

Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become a tutoring session, but just a study session.

Support them. Sometimes students just need that boost of confidence and support to understand.

Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish.

In many cases, the problem is not the child's ability but rather the lack of confidence and lack of interest in the subject.

Many parents come to me because they…

I believe that it is incredibly important for a tutor to inspire their student to achieve their very best in terms of their academics.

I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…

Vineeta, Kenmore Hills

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.
