I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make that student interested in what they are learning. Although students may not enjoy every aspect of what they're learning, if they can find even one thing that they enjoy, this could be enough. I am patient, determined, and kind to those that I tutor. So, I think that…

Make sure that the student is following along and that they understand that the teaching process is entirely at their pace. As well as have the confidence to be able to comment on things that they don't understand. I try and teach at the current level of the students and teach more difficult concepts in a way that they would find more…

A tutor should not be there to simply teach, but incorporate the student's skillsets to teach students how to become better at certain topics. I tend to focus on an individual child's personal needs and tailor my lessons to meet those needs…

Another important thing that a tutor can provide is motivation. This can be done by reassuring and supporting a student through a potentially…

The most important aspect of tutoring, besides providing students with better grades, is allowing them to feel comfortable when I am tutoring them. A logical concomitant of comfort is a better ability to learn and as a consequence better results. Thus, I place a great emphasis on understanding the idiosyncrasies of the student and allowing them to…

According to me the most important thing for the tutor is to understand that not all students understand concepts the same way and sense when students do not understand something and willingly try another approach of presenting the material to help the student. With this approach a tutor can make a difference in the student’s learning. I believe…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is believe in them and their abilities.

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

It is also important that the tutor is able to instill clear thinking and practice for a student in order to be able to solve concepts and understand them on their own. I…

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.
