Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

As a tutor, I am responsible…

It is very important as a biology tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching.…

According to me, the most important thing as a biology tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my…

They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

Inside KensingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Daniel focused on simple and compound interest calculations in Financial Mathematics and practised problems on measurement, including perimeter and area.

Year 11 student Emily worked through key trigonometric concepts such as the unit circle, radian measure, and applied the sine rule to solve non-right-angled triangle questions using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled Specialist Mathematics topics by solving induction proofs—including divisibility—and practiced matrix operations like multiplication and finding inverses with guided textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, difficulties with sentence structure and paragraph flow meant written pieces were sometimes hard for the reader to follow; as a tutor noted, "all of the right information was there, but often in an order that meant a lot of jumping around."

For a Year 10 mathematics student, interpreting assignment questions accurately proved challenging—occasionally leading to incomplete or misdirected responses.

In senior maths (Years 11–12), several students received feedback on not applying tips from previous sessions when tackling advanced quadratic and matrix problems; "needs improvement with solving higher order & complex multiplication of matrices" captured this missed opportunity for growth. This resulted in repeated errors despite prior guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to rush through assignment questions now pausing to break them down and ask clarifying questions before starting—something he hadn't done a few months ago.

In high school maths, another student who previously struggled with quadratic equations is now confidently using both factorisation and the quadratic formula, checking each answer independently.

Meanwhile, a primary-aged learner has shifted from copying text for assignments to consistently rewriting information herself. Last session, she researched material and summarised it without any prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Shruti helped me so much in my yr 12 studies as a school friend. She is extremely intelligent and has a lot of patience. Shruti gave me the skills and confidence in my learning and allowed me to succeed in yr 12. Shruti is like a big sister to me, I highly recommend everyone to choose her as a tutor.

Everything is going very well, thank you very much, we are very happy with the tutoring Harshdeep is providing to Manon, he is very thorough.

I met Angeline for the first time on Monday this week- She is bright and seems to have lots of resources and experience already.

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 Norwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Memorial School - Junior Primary Campus.
