The most important a tutor can do for a student is to be engaging. There is no point in teaching a student if he/she is not engaged in the content and not absorbing it. Tutors should be aware of his student's needs and wants in order to best engage them in the lesson and material in order to ensure the most rewarding learning experience. Coming…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them not only build the skills they need for the subject they're being tutored in, but also to build the skills to be confident of themselves within it as well. From my experience being tutored both in maths and for an instrument, that was something my tutors helped me with,…

A tutor needs to ensure they can engage with their students to an optimal level.

Kaia was good and easy to get along with.

Inside KurnellTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Alice worked through trigonometry concepts, focusing on the sine and cosine rules for solving triangle problems.

For Year 11, Tom reviewed exam questions covering depreciation calculations and percentage conversions, with extra practice on unit conversion and using significant figures accurately.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Jack practiced algebraic skills by creating simultaneous equations from word problems and refining his technique for solving inequalities and multi-step equations.

Recent Challenges

The unit circle still needed more practice in the Year 9 student's trigonometry work, with several steps left unexplained, making it tough to pinpoint where errors crept in.

In Year 7 algebra, working out x using multiplication and division showed gaps—written steps were incomplete or skipped, so mistakes weren't easy to trace back.

For a Year 11 assessment task in Science, analysing results and tabulating data proved difficult; the challenge was reading questions closely and organizing responses logically.

In Year 4 area tasks, messy layout made following calculations harder for both student and tutor, slowing down progress during irregular shape problems.

Recent Achievements

One Kurnell tutor recently saw a Year 11 student, who had been struggling with simultaneous equations, finally solve them independently and explain each step without prompting.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough with the sine and cosine rules—she went from mixing up which to use, to confidently choosing and applying the correct formula on her own for tricky exam-style problems.

In a younger session, a Year 4 student who used to avoid mental maths now volunteers answers aloud during warm-ups and completed every question in under two minutes this week, showing real initiative compared to earlier lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very Happy with Pareise. Zoe looks forward to her lessons with her. Pareise is always on time and speaks o Zoe in a well-mannered and appropriate way.

Both Nicholas and Natasha are very happy with Mitchell and lessons are progressing beautifully.

El Abed has been in touch with me directly and we have booked a session for next week. I would just like to say once again how impressed I am with your level of customer service and the efficiency with which you have handled my queries. Im addition, I would like to say the say the same about El Abed. He has responded to my queries promptly and with professionalism.

Local Spots for Tutoring
