I think that a biology tutor shouldn't just rote teach a student problems so that they can pass exams, this leads to little useful learning on the students part. I think a tutor's most important job is to teach the student problem-solving strategies/learning methods as well as thoroughly work through the in's and out's of the content; alongside…

The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to be able to understand their specific needs and hence find creative avenues in order to best convey a concept.

The most important thing a biology tutor can do is to practice empathy in order to ensure the student knows they're in a safe environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Being kind and really listening to what they say to you is also essential, as you don't want them to feel like they can't talk to you, as this will…

Working with students can be a challenge, especially if we're meeting to help them bring up low grades. One thing I do when I meet the student for the very first time is to ask them questions about their interests, like sports, school subjects, music and movies. In the math problems that I create, I incorporate references to these interests. It…

The best thing that a biology tutor can do for a student is not to regurgitate information - that can be found by reading a book, or browsing the internet; but to inspire.

Local Reviews

I am very impressed with Nikki and the way in which your company operates. Emily had a session with Nikki on Monday in preparation for her algebra topic test on Tuesday and she received 72%!! She would normally get in the 40s for this type of test maybe less for algebra. We are reaping the rewards of Nikki's tutoring already. Very pleased indeed and Nikki is also a great role model for Emily in the way she presents herself and her attitude to life in general. Thank you for your exceptional service.

Inside Kangaroo PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Grace revised equivalent fractions and tackled 24-hour time, then moved on to practice finding fractions of whole numbers and converting between units of weight using her online homework.

Year 7 student Olivia reviewed her latest maths exam before focusing on more advanced algebra problems in preparation for Year 8.

For a Year 11 student, recent sessions included working through sequences and series as well as an introduction to differentiation of inverse trigonometric functions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student lost confidence tackling multi-step algebra and often avoided writing out full solutions; as one tutor observed, "she skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 10, another student struggled to complete comprehension tasks within time limits, spending well over the suggested 10 minutes.

For a senior student preparing for exams, study notes show an over-reliance on open-book practice instead of timed or closed-book conditions—meaning recall under pressure remains weak.

Meanwhile, a primary learner was confused by conversions between units but hesitated to attempt more challenging word problems without support. The result: progress slowed when new content demanded independent thinking.

Recent Achievements

One Kangaroo Point tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to struggle with structuring biology answers now confidently outlining responses on her own, showing she's internalised effective study techniques.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough in algebra: after weeks of hesitation with factorising, he tackled new expressions and even asked for harder questions, demonstrating genuine initiative.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who was previously shy about asking for help started raising her hand whenever stuck instead of quietly guessing—last session, she completed all her fraction problems without prompting or reminders.

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 Sylvania Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bald Face Public School.
