Mental health and confidence is worth just as much as the knowledge of the content. The most important thing a tutor can do is to give confidence to the student and alleviate stress for upcoming assessments. Confidence can be achieved by getting students to solve practice problems on their own after they grasp a concept. Ironing out all the weaker…

I feel like encouraging them to have questions is really important. Without questions it\'s hard to know what they need help on, or what they need to improve on. So having the ability to make a good first impression, be kind and caring towards them, and able to make them feel like they can ask questions around a tutor and get help is extremely…

the most important thing is for the tutor to teach how the student best learns. We are not in large class rooms, so we have the luxury, to teach in specific ways, that might only be good for that one student. I'm patient and can therefore spend as much time as the student needs on any given topic. I'm thorough, so I make sure there are no…

The most important thing a tutor can do is understand the student and make them feel heard. When a tutor builds a strong connection, they can tailor lessons to fit the student’s learning style, making concepts easier to grasp. Rather than being an authority figure, a tutor should act as a supportive guide, creating a safe space where students…

Not to critic harshly. I believe you should praise on a student's try and highlight what portion of their "solution" was done right, but then with a gentle tone, explain what portion they did wrong. If you lower a student's motivation, they're less likely to be ambitious to learn and try. Furthermore, a tutor should insist on their student(s)…

Inside Kangaroo GroundTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Shaan worked on consolidating fractions and decimals, using visual models to clarify tricky parts.

For Year 8, Noah reviewed linear equations and practiced interpreting different types of algebraic expressions from recent classwork.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily tackled probability concepts by solving worded problems and also revised Pythagoras' theorem through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling worded algebra questions often missed multi-part instructions—"she answered only the first part of two-step problems," as noted—which meant incomplete solutions even when her calculations were correct.

In Year 10, a student preparing for geometry tests left key formula notes unfinished, making it harder to apply methods consistently across topics like area and composite shapes.

Meanwhile, a senior student in Year 12 encountered time pressure during probability tests; the rush to finish led to skipped notations and missed marks.

After setbacks like these, confidence noticeably dipped during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Kangaroo Ground tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on algebraic equations—after revisiting earlier mistakes, she now tackles the majority of algebra problems without prompting and outlines where her errors are.

Another high schooler, who had previously hesitated to ask for clarification, has started raising specific questions about tricky geometry tasks during sessions, leading to clearer understanding of angles and composite shapes.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with spelling is now catching subtle errors independently in his homework and confidently inferring correct spellings for unfamiliar words.

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 Warrandyte Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kangaroo Ground Primary School.
