I think that a tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

The 3 most important things a tutor can do for a student are: encourage a love of learning; understand the student's perspective when teaching; be capable to change the explanation in order to allow the student to understand the content. It's difficult for students to learn sometimes and I acknowledge that. It is my job as a tutor to encourage…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

I believe my main strengths as a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them to enjoy learning.

A good tutor should firstly ensure that the student has a solid grasp of the foundational knowledge underpinning their subject, before moving on to teach more complex concepts. This is because oftentimes a subject's more advanced concepts will draw heavily from assumed foundational knowledge. Additionally a tutor can instill confidence in a…

Excellent service when I telephoned to inquire about a tutor in my area. The tutor was polite, friendly and, most importantly, knowledgeable in her field.

Inside Kensington GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Emily focused on subtraction and multiplication, using visual aids to strengthen understanding of number facts.

In Year 11, Olivia worked through quadratic equations and practiced sketching graphs of parabolas to build confidence with exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled differential equations and explored statistical regression techniques, applying these concepts to real-world data sets during the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student often left school homework unfinished, and as a tutor noted, "missed a lesson," which meant less time reinforcing number skills.

In one session, a Year 11 student struggled to write out questions and answers clearly during algebra work—untidy working made it difficult to spot errors or explain thinking later.

For a Year 9 test on geometry and simultaneous equations, there hadn't been enough revision time; gaps showed up in the result.

After setbacks, one Year 10 student expressed low confidence about her maths test score, despite likely doing better than she believed.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington Gardens tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now takes the lead on tough integration problems and recently reported their latest test was probably their best yet.

Another high schooler showed newfound independence by working through challenging vectors questions without prompting—just a few sessions ago, they needed step-by-step support.

In primary maths, Aryo started bringing his own homework to lessons and now answers many questions unaided, especially around times tables and fractions; last week he finished an entire worksheet unaided.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Since Diali has started working with Brendan I have seen her motivation to engage in maths skyrocket. Prior, it took a great deal of coaxing to get her to do her homework, let alone to do anything extra relating to maths. Brendan has provided Diali with cause for a notable increase in her enthusiasm, sense of being encouraged, confidence and her incentive to work on her maths. She completes Brendan's assigned homework with enthusiasm (except when she is too tired at the end of the day) and she is practicing her times-tables with less resistance! She is looking forward to her next maths tutorial with Brendan. Brendan has a gentle, helpful and very supportive approach and he relates superwell to children. We are really so happy to have the support of Brendan as Diali's tutor.

We're proud of our son is achieving better results and thanks to a good tutor also who's I believe showing him the way also.

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
