The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

The most important thing in my opinion is to not only be able to guide students to the correct answer, but also make them feel accomplished and enjoy the process of knowing nothing to all the knowledge they need in school. At the same time, a tutor have to be respectful at all times. Some of my strengths as a tutor are that I am great with…

Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books. I really think about the resources we use to make sure they are the right level, challenging and have stretch…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself. Most of the students, do not feel very confident in their own understanding of the subject and hesitate to participate in class discussions. I believe by making the student…

Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

Inside KingsfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Priya focused on applying derivatives to find maxima and minima of functions, working through real-world examples, while Year 12 student Ben tackled physics assignment questions involving circular motion and explored its formulas in depth.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sarah practised plotting and interpreting frequency distribution tables, sharpening her understanding of how data is represented visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled to complete more than 60% of assigned homework, particularly on calculus and probability—"he has been completing 40-60% of his homework, not completing them." This limited exposure to varied question types slowed progress when tackling advanced exam-style problems.

In Year 11 algebra, another student relied on intuition rather than writing systematic steps; this habit meant calculation errors were harder to spot under test conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student often found it challenging to extract all the necessary information from worded questions, which delayed problem-solving and increased uncertainty during assignments.

Recent Achievements

One Kingsford tutor noticed that Ian, a Year 12 student who'd missed school lectures on integration, was able to catch up quickly and now solves integral calculus problems mostly on his own—something he couldn't do just weeks ago.

Scarlett in Year 11, previously hesitant to ask questions about trigonometry and functions, has started clearing up her doubts during sessions instead of letting them linger.

Meanwhile, Alex (Year 6) used to need lots of prompting with ratio word problems but last session worked through several independently and even checked his answers without being asked.
