The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is improve their self confidence and encourage them. Students should be able to take away the learned topic and also have a sense of pride and worthiness in themselves. They should feel they have the skills and tools to further their learning in whichever direction that drives, them with the…

I believe that a tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would stem from my…

English Tutor Wynn Vale, SA
I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

English Tutor Wynn Vale, SA
I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as a tutor is…

Local Reviews

I'm a returning customer and I've been so thrilled with the ease of using EzyMaths and the results have been wonderful! I last used it Teo years ago to help my son who was failing and then made it to the top of the year level. Recently my international student was failing maths but in a few short weeks she passed well enough to meet her academic needs. Thank you!

Inside BurtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia revised calculating the area of kites and irregular shapes, as well as basic perimeter concepts.

Year 8 Archie focused on simplifying ratios and times tables, then reviewed BIDMAS and fractions after receiving test feedback.

For Year 9 Suhana, recent lessons included trigonometry with a focus on finding triangle sides, plus a science session covering DNA, mitosis, meiosis, evolution, and natural selection in preparation for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling Pythagoras' Theorem hesitated to identify triangle sides and rarely talked through problems, as a tutor observed: "She tends to say 'I don't know' easily and doesn't verbalize her thinking." This silence made it tough to spot where confusion began, especially when rearranging equations.

In Year 11, one learner worked through composite area questions but forgot to back-check answers unless prompted—missing units or operations in multi-step tasks.

During a Year 5 session, another student frequently rushed subtraction without borrowing properly, leading to avoidable errors that slowed progress on larger calculations.

Recent Achievements

A Burton tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who used to rush through maths without checking her work is now in the habit of backchecking and caught all errors herself on a recent set of questions.

Another high school student, working on science, took more initiative by showing her draft SHE task for feedback—something she hadn't done before—and made improvements based on suggestions.

For a younger learner, regular sessions have helped him concentrate for longer stretches and he now traces numbers up to 20 with fewer mistakes; last week he filled in missing numbers up to 20 almost entirely independently.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
