Inspire. Children are an inspiration to their teachers. As mentioned before, children are an inspiration to me since I get to learn from them as much as they get tutored from me.

An effective tutor can make a student feel more confident and engaged with the learning process. They can make students excited to learn new concepts and to challenge themselves, rather than shying away from these challenges. Marks can be important, particularly for older students, and are a tangible outcome for students to measure their…

Identifying students strengths/passion and grooming them is another very imperative factor. I think…

Tutors must foster growth, independence, and a goal-oriented mindset so that each student can strive to overcome learning challenges, recognise their milestones, and identify any incompetencies in their work. This will ultimately strengthen their academic confidence, and allow students to grow from their mistakes. I have been able to adapt to a…

To be there for a student in a more personal and approachable way than the modern education system and its teachers can be, to help 'fill in the gaps' that the student may have missed in class and to be there for the student if they feel like the education system has failed them. Too many schools focus on the groups needs rather than the…

Build their confidence, often kids find themselves behind in subjects and it slowly eats away at their confidence and desire to try and learn.

The most important skill a tutor can impart to a student is the method of reasoning. Often, students who struggle in logical subjects lack the skill to reason why a particular answer is correct or incorrect. I believe this reasoning can be developed with a tutor. A one-on-one interaction helps the tutor identify the missing links in the student's…

I believe that for a student, having someone who can understand and convey concepts in a relational way (not instructional) is so important to a true understanding of the content. When working with students, being a person of support and pushing where they can but not overwhelming the student is an integral aspect of their growth. Furthermore,…

Alex

Inside Mount KemblaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isla worked on analysing texts for the Reading to Write English module and explored strategies for tackling assessment tasks, focusing on how to approach text analysis.

Year 12 student Tom received feedback on his English assessment draft and practised breaking down essay questions alongside close text analysis.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Noah reviewed statistics in mathematics, concentrating on calculating mean and standard deviation while working through his homework assignment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student encountered setbacks preparing for an upcoming exam due to unclear information about the task, as noted: "could only get so much done in a limited time."

In Year 8 mathematics, one learner did not review solved questions independently between sessions, which slowed consolidation of linear functions and formulae.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 child's written work was sometimes rushed—forgetting to check if sums were addition or subtraction led to avoidable errors during quizzes.

Across these grades, missed opportunities for self-review and lack of proactive preparation often resulted in last-minute stress or repeated mistakes during assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Kembla tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to start essays, now independently breaks down English assignments into clear steps and gets writing right away.

A Year 11 maths student, who previously struggled with algebraic concepts, managed to finish all the questions independently in the latest chapter—something she'd avoided attempting solo before.

In a primary session, a Year 3 student who used to rush through addition without checking now carefully marks her tens when carrying over and handed in homework free from mistakes.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!

She has been SUPER professional. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is responsible, has made a connection with my son, has communicated with me and kept me informed all the time. She is a great asset. We look forward to working with her in the future.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Kembla Public School.
