I believe that tutors should provide all-round mentorship to students and that this is one of the most important things that can come of tutoring; helping them to feel more confident in approaching problems they have in their everyday lives and to search for the answers to the questions that they have about the world around them. I am very patient…

The most important things a tutor can do for students is to take the steps to give the student a deeper appreciation for their knowledge, and show real world applications for the skills taught. A student is more likely to pay attention if there is something they know they gain from it, rather than just higher grades. My ability to teach on a…

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

Engage and stir their curiosity. Build relationships and have their trust and respect. Be patient and build their confidence. Most importantly, make them realise their potential. I think my strengths (for being a tutor) are possessing excellent interpersonal skills with a good sense of humour, patience, empathy, thoroughness and enthusiasm. …

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience. It is really important to consider that not everyone learns best with the same teaching style, and can process information at different paces. I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's self-confidence while simplifying difficult concepts in a way that they understand. I believe my strengths lie in my ability to teach at a student's own pace, teaching them concepts in different ways until they completely understand before moving…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is constant support and encouragement while also providing methods to break down questions where they can become more confident. My strengths are that i understand every studet has their own individual way of learning which can be very different to others. I recognise this and i can adjust the…

Helping a student be the best they can be. Allow the student to have trust in someone to help them grow and learn to what they can achieve and more. Becoming a teacher I have learnt about different approaches to teaching and learning to adapted to the student learning. I will bring my knowledge of teaching into my tutoring to understand the…

Local Reviews

Claudia is great. She went above and beyond in the first session spending almost 2 hours with Sasha. To quote Sasha -‘I learnt more in that one session than I have all year’! She also offered to assist Sasha via text or phone to help her with a test coming up this week.

Inside KillcareTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zac focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including working with mixed and improper fractions—and learned how to simplify results in calculations.

For Year 8, Yillen practiced using Pythagoras' Theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems and applied area formulas for various shapes, connecting these concepts with recent classwork.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily tackled algebraic expansion and factorisation as well as rearranging formulas, working through homework questions to consolidate her understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student left his notes and workbook at school, which meant he had no guidelines for revision—this made it harder to prepare for an unexpected exam.

"He didn't have a calculator handy," one tutor observed during a senior session, so some questions were missed or required extra help.

In upper high school, another student needed more home practice to master concepts but hadn't completed assigned work.

For a Year 4 lesson, forgetting key materials led to confusion when converting between time zones.

These moments slowed progress in class and increased reliance on tutors for reminders and support.

Recent Achievements

The tutor in Killcare observed that a high school student, after initially being shy and hesitant to answer, started speaking up during problem solving and now confidently tackles fraction questions without waiting for prompts.

Another older student has begun asking for more challenging homework on his own, a big shift from earlier sessions where he only completed what was set.

At the primary level, a younger student who previously needed encouragement with currency problems now draws her own diagrams to solve them and explains each step aloud while working through addition and subtraction tasks.

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 Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pretty Beach Public School.
