Software Dev Tutor Bedford Park, SA
As a tutor I would help the student to bring out his or hers ideas through learning. Those ideas can make a huge difference in the society. Additionally, I would focus on students who are very weak in a particular subject and provides tips to improvise. I have good knowledge in Mathematics and I can explain the concepts using real life examples.…

Software Dev Tutor Black Forest, SA
For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

Software Dev Tutor Plympton, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do to a student is make student believe that student can learn and reach proper solution. Every one has the potential to learn things so, once a student starts believing in himself/herself studying starts to become fun. I as a tutor hardly give up on my students. I can only be satisfied and feel peaceful once I…

Software Dev Tutor Adelaide, 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…

Software Dev Tutor Sturt, SA
I can get the words out of a textbook and make them stick. Knowledge should be committed forever and understood, not simply memorised. I can personalise how the facts are delivered, and can support discussion and inquiry into the right answers, to allow students the room to crystallise information in their own minds in their own ways, to connect…

Jess always shows up in time and doesn't dash out the door after 60 minutes but stays to finish if they are in the middle of doing something. She recommends things for my son to work on in between sessions and helps him prepare well for tests

Inside BlackwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ella worked on division strategies and solving time questions, focusing on interpreting word problems.

In Year 10, James tackled applications of differentiation and explored the fundamentals of circular motion using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Hannah practiced drawing derivatives given the original function and analysed kinematics alongside circular motion and gravitation concepts from her physics curriculum.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for calculus and physics assessments had not completed enough revision between sessions, which meant he was less confident recalling methods under test conditions. As one tutor noted, "He hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done to ensure he knows how to do everything before his two tests."

In Year 4, another struggled to remember conversions of time and money—such as minutes in an hour—when working independently at home. This led to confusion during homework tasks, especially when faced with worded questions requiring careful interpretation.

Recent Achievements

One Blackwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with exam revision now preparing independently and developing stronger strategies for interpreting equations—last session, he had already revised before the lesson and asked targeted questions about problem types.

In Year 8 science, a student who was previously passive during sessions recently started explaining her reasoning out loud as she tackled magnetic induction, which helped her clarify misunderstandings on the spot.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once kept answers in his head now eagerly walks through his problem-solving steps aloud and double-checks his division work before moving on.

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 Blackwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blackwood High School.
