I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a comfortable and supportive environment where the student feels confident to ask questions and make mistakes. Learning really happens when students feel safe to try, even if they don’t get it right the first time. A tutor should also explain things in a way that makes sense to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to inspire a love of learning.

I think that as a…

Local Reviews

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

Inside Kurraba PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lily worked on area of triangles using decimal and fractional multiplication, then tackled unknown side problems with practical examples.

For Year 8, Ava focused on congruency tests for triangles and quadrilaterals, using diagrams to identify key properties and revisited composite area and coordinate plane questions from her school homework.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily reviewed trigonometric ratios in preparation for upcoming assessments and practiced recognizing different angle relationships—complementary, co-interior, and alternate angles—through targeted problem sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often hesitated to attempt algebraic problem-solving questions, preferring decimals instead of setting out working for equations—this slowed skill growth in algebra.

In a senior year, "she frequently needed to refer back to notes for specific ratios," which interrupted focus during trigonometry practice and made revision less efficient.

For a Year 9 geometry task, the tutor observed that skipping clear layout meant errors went unnoticed until answers were checked together.

One student's tendency to avoid showing steps—especially with calculations involving area or conversions—meant time was lost retracing logic instead of moving forward with new material.

Recent Achievements

A Kurraba Point tutor recently noticed a big change in one Year 10 student: after struggling with time management in past Olympiad exams, she completed this term's paper more confidently and finished within the time limit, needing less guidance to spot her own errors during review.

In Year 11 maths, Charlie now tackles past papers independently—he highlights key concepts on his resources sheet and no longer needs notes for most questions, a shift from earlier sessions where he hesitated to work alone.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was reluctant to explain her reasoning is now much more open about sharing her thought process when solving geometry problems.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Loreto Kirribilli.
