The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to improve the student's attitude towards the subject. If a student is having struggles with certain subject, they may have a negative view on it which limits their openness and ability to learn. As a tutor, we should not just provide information to students but make sure they understand the…

Make them enjoy a subject. as a teacher you can only do so much when it comes to teaching. you can give them all the work, call them, and pester them, but if they don't like it they will never excel in it. I am able to connect to the students. I am young and fun and even ride a motorcycles I play guitar and most games kids no play allowing em to…

Don’t make students memorize, make them understand it in their own way. A lot of the topics that are taught can actually be related to previous topics. If they can see that connection between each topic, then understanding tends to become easier. Also, we shouldn’t put too much pressure on them. That means don’t explain too quickly, but…

Be calm and understand that everyone thinks different, and just because you or another students gets it, the other student could struggle with it. Also find the particular concept or idea that a student cannot connect. Moreover, to track their process and be sure to work on their mistakes continuously. I worked in a tutoring center this year,…

Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like. Having being tutored myself, I didn't respond as well with someone who could not meet me at my level than I did with a tutor who I felt I could relate to and trust. I am calm and caring, which I think is really important in tutoring, especially when…

I believe a tutor is not only a teacher but also a mentor. They are someone for the student to look up to, but also there to help the student develop their understanding through friendship and camaraderie. As they are separate from both school and home settings, they can offer an external and unique perspective on both academic and personal…

A tutors time is the most important thing for a student. If a student requires some extra attention due to doubts it is the duty of the tutor to provide him/her with the extra time and support.

In the context of Science and Mathematics, the key aspect is HOW to think. Science requires imagination, innovation as well as an excellent recall and grasp of modern scientific understanding.

I consider being able know the student's strength and weakness and explain them the topic accordingly to be the most important thing.

Inside Killarney HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel revised fractions, decimals, and percentages by converting between forms and using visual models.

For Year 8, Emily focused on solving linear equations and interpreting distance–time graphs, practising both algebraic manipulation and graph plotting.

In Year 10, Sam tackled trigonometry—specifically Pythagoras' theorem—and worked through real-world measurement problems involving speed, distance, and time calculations.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was inconsistent across both primary and high school levels. For example, a Year 8 student "did not complete his homework again," which meant less opportunity to reinforce skills between lessons.

In Year 10, one student forgot much of the previously covered material before a test; the tutor noted this suggested "he hasn't been studying and revising the content."

Messy or incorrect layout appeared in Year 9 trigonometry—where failing to keep work tidy led to confusion when applying Pythagoras' theorem.

A senior student's over-reliance on mental calculation in conversion questions ("attempted to do it in his head") resulted in repeated small errors and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Killarney Heights tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to get stuck on financial maths now working through compound interest problems with less prompting, showing real independence during practice.

A Year 9 student, after several sessions of struggling to identify x- and y-intercepts, confidently found both and explained how they linked to gradients without relying on hints.

In primary years, one child who'd often mixed up times tables started applying them accurately in multi-step word problems—he finished all the questions in his workbook for the first time.

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 Forestville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Killarney Heights Public School.
