Psychology Tutor Norwood, SA
Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

Psychology Tutor Rose Park, SA
I think that being able to build a rapport with the student is one of the fundamental skills to be a good tutor. This lays the foundation for the student being comfortable in asking questions to the tutor, as well as the tutor finding a teaching style that is most suited to the student. I am confident in my ability to explain subject matter to the…

Psychology Tutor Hectorville, SA
The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade. I understand that each student is different, and that not every approach will work for an individual, so it is essential that their tutor knows how to adapt to their needs while still…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and notice. Students pay more attention and are willing to learn when they feel that their opinions are heard and acknowledged. I am an extremely patient person. I can work with each student as an individual and let them grow and work at their own pace. I am also an…

1. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident with themselves about their ability to achieve the grade they want in the subject they want. As a wise person once said, "if you believe, you're already half way there." As a tutor I want to be able to help my students believe in themselves so they realise…

Psychology Tutor Adelaide, SA
The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

Psychology Tutor Belair, SA
A tutor MUST make the student comfortable with their learning by building a friendship with them, so that they always want to return to EZY Math Tutoring. A tutor must also put aside everything else in their life to assist the student: even if I have a bad day I cannot let that lessen my performance while teaching the student. Finally, a tutor…

A tutor can improve one's overall understand of the subject, not just a specific understanding about a material. That is important because it is building the bigger picture of each subject in the long term. I am flexible in my teaching method, and I am able to adjust to each student depending on what they…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make sure they don't generalize their teaching across all students. Every student has their own strengths/ weaknesses and their own ways of learning and it is important for a tutor to recognize and build upon that so they reach their potential.

Inside KensingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Daniel focused on simple and compound interest calculations in Financial Mathematics and practised problems on measurement, including perimeter and area.

Year 11 student Emily worked through key trigonometric concepts such as the unit circle, radian measure, and applied the sine rule to solve non-right-angled triangle questions using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled Specialist Mathematics topics by solving induction proofs—including divisibility—and practiced matrix operations like multiplication and finding inverses with guided textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, difficulties with sentence structure and paragraph flow meant written pieces were sometimes hard for the reader to follow; as a tutor noted, "all of the right information was there, but often in an order that meant a lot of jumping around."

For a Year 10 mathematics student, interpreting assignment questions accurately proved challenging—occasionally leading to incomplete or misdirected responses.

In senior maths (Years 11–12), several students received feedback on not applying tips from previous sessions when tackling advanced quadratic and matrix problems; "needs improvement with solving higher order & complex multiplication of matrices" captured this missed opportunity for growth. This resulted in repeated errors despite prior guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to rush through assignment questions now pausing to break them down and ask clarifying questions before starting—something he hadn't done a few months ago.

In high school maths, another student who previously struggled with quadratic equations is now confidently using both factorisation and the quadratic formula, checking each answer independently.

Meanwhile, a primary-aged learner has shifted from copying text for assignments to consistently rewriting information herself. Last session, she researched material and summarised it 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 Norwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Memorial School - Junior Primary Campus.
