I would have to say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show them the beauty in a subject the student may not so much enjoy. This allows the student to achieve goals as their newfound perspective on the topic has changed to positive. I personally experienced this within my own studies. I went from a poorly achieving student…

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student in my opinion is to give them guidance on how to be successful in the subject we tutor. At the end of the day we only see them once or twice a week. We can't teach them everything. So it is important that we guide them on how to learn and study in order to be successful. Myt strength lies…

Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

If I have to pick one only, I think a positive attitude is the most important things a tutor can do for a student.

I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital.

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions.

Local Reviews

Jacques was great! Theo cannot stop talking about him and he is very excited for his next lesson! I think you found a great match for Theo. Jacques was very kind and very good at communicating with Theo and he did not get angry / frustrated at him which was really important to me. Theo is eager to learn more about him which I know will make him want to learn from him

Inside KincumberTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac focused on fraction operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of mixed and improper fractions, as well as understanding mathematical language like "of" meaning multiply.

For Year 8, Yillen tackled Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and then shifted to revision for an upcoming test by reviewing past exam questions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava worked through the formulas for area and circumference of circles and extended her learning to sectors and arcs using real-life examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student left notes and schoolwork at home, making exam revision less effective. "It was difficult to revise as he didn't have any guidelines," a tutor noted.

For Year 5 mathematics, incomplete homework meant gaps persisted in fundamental operations and delayed progress into probability.

A Year 10 student rushed through algebraic problems without showing working, which led to repeated sign errors that were hard to trace.

Messy graph work in Year 7 made it difficult to spot where misunderstandings began—answers ended up scattered across the page with inconsistent handwriting and unclear layout.

Recent Achievements

During a Kincumber tutoring session, Olivia began to independently apply area formulas by neatly writing out each step and substituting values herself—a big shift from previously forgetting these details.

In another lesson, Zac, who was once hesitant to speak up, started tackling fraction problems with much more confidence and volunteered his reasoning before the tutor prompted him.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, Ivy surprised her tutor by explaining how she solved addition and subtraction questions out loud—something she'd avoided last term—and finished a full worksheet without needing reminders.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kincumber High School.
