I believe that tutors should help students reach their own personal learning goals. Each student should leave their sessions feeling happy and that they have accomplished/learnt something they didn’t know before. It is important that every student feels they understand the content and their educational needs are met with enthusiasm and interest.…

Teach and help them learn by listening to what it is that they need help with. Each student is different so developing an individual way with each one is very important as a tutor. Honesty, if something is wrong with something I can tell a student how to fix it straight away. Another strength of mine is teaching someone how to do something rather…

To me, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to have consistency. If a student goes into a session and has a basic idea of what it looks like, it helps them stay on track and focused the entire session. I am a patient person. I do not get frustrated easily if a student is having trouble with their work or is not understanding…

A tutor must not tell a student how to do something, but show and allow them to learn it. Consequently, the student will be able to apply what they have learned through their own capabilities. Additionally, a tutor should be able to infuse some interest in the subject even if the student finds no particular interest in the subject. This may seem…

Kristina Voulgelis

Inside CringilaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla worked on simplifying fractions, understanding order of operations, and converting numbers to percentages using practical examples.

For Year 10, Natalia focused on algebraic equations by completing end-of-chapter exercises and receiving feedback on her solutions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Tom practiced solving algebra questions and interpreting survey data through targeted worksheets to reinforce key concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student showed hesitancy tackling algebra independently, often relying on tutor guidance rather than attempting questions solo; as one tutor observed, "He needs to review the formulas and practice again."

In a Year 3 maths session, mistakes in addition and subtraction appeared when instructions (like whether to add or subtract) weren't checked closely, leading to confusion during quick-fire quizzes.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for exams didn't review solved problems at home—meaning errors went uncorrected before assessments.

After a setback with PEEL paragraph writing in English (Year 7), missed spelling corrections lingered into later drafts.

Recent Achievements

One Cringila tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with algebra—after working through a few tricky problems, she now tackles equations independently and even corrects her own mistakes without prompting.

In another session, a high schooler who struggled with finance topics started asking specific questions about dividends and could accurately calculate total brokerage by the end of the lesson, showing real initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often lost focus during times tables practice stayed engaged throughout by using number charts and began pointing out patterns herself, something she'd never done before.

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 Warrawong District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cringila Public School.
