The most important thing has to be getting the student to truly appreciate the meaning behind what they are learning rather than the topic itself, as by growing this genuine interest and passion for what it stands for is all that is needed for success since the motivation will lead them further than any kind of unenthusiastic rote learning. I…

The most important thing a tutor should do for a student is make them feel good about themselves. If the student develops a mentality where they feel as if they will never be able to learn something, they wont. It will be my job as a tutor to encourage them to believe in their own capabilities and further expand on this with different teaching…

I believe taking time out to understand and know where the student needs help or is struggling is the most important factor. By finding out the parts that they may lack and need improvement is what allows a tutor to focus on teaching the student in a more individualised and specific to the student.

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Inside KingswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isabella focused on trigonometric graphs and logarithmic laws to prepare for an upcoming exam.

For Year 12, revision with Adrian centred around integration techniques and summation using past HSC trial papers.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex worked through index laws—including subtraction, addition, and multiplication rules—and began exploring trigonometric concepts in preparation for a mock yearly exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 2 mathematics, one student still counted on fingers and struggled with adding numbers above five—"he can't add anything above 5 without struggling"—showing a need for more foundational fluency practice.

A Year 8 student avoided writing out full algebraic working, relying instead on memorised answers; this made it harder to identify where mistakes occurred and limited her confidence during tests.

In Year 12 Mathematics, a lack of revision on earlier topics such as integration and inequalities meant the student couldn't recall key methods under exam pressure, despite understanding them in lessons. This led to confusion when facing unfamiliar or multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

One Kingswood tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now regularly checks their graphing steps out loud, showing real initiative in tackling functions.

In Year 7, a student who once rushed through English comprehension tasks has started pausing to reread tricky questions and underline key words before answering, which led to fewer careless mistakes last session.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to get distracted during maths is now quick to admit when he's confused and eagerly tries new strategies with pipe cleaners—he recently counted up his five times tables without any prompting.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Primary School.
