Physics Tutor Port Noarlunga, SA
Be able to communicate information clearly and concisely, as well as being flexible enough to come up with different explanations for topics when a certain method isn't understood. I think it's also very important that a physics tutor is able to present the information in an engaging way, to help build a passion for the subject. I am friendly and…

I believe that the most important I can do for a student is being a role model that a student can be comfortable to ask questions and address problems and issues within their academic career. Eliminating the fear of being looked down upon for not understanding a concept and the loss of moral is the first step to improving learning and growth. This…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a physics tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can…

I think that a physics tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning…

Physics Tutor Lonsdale, SA
A student that has a physics tutor either wants to excel in their studies, or is struggling. If the student is struggling (will know from first day by what they ask and what they say) then it means they either need to be told what the teacher has told them already or the teacher has taught it in a way they do not understand, hence a change of…

The most important thing a student gets from a physics tutor is trust and love for the subject. The student will learn to respect every small thing they see and learn inside the classroom As a tutor I can always put myself in the shoes of the student and understand whats their difficulty. Everything can be illustrated with a real life example and…

Be patient and understand where their understanding is, and teach at their pace, and giving incentive to learn, such as rewarding or making the learning schemes exciting I believe I am a capable tutor, as I was able to teach myself a majority of what I had learnt throughout school by simplifying, recognising patterns and shortcuts, searching for…

A good tutor should aim to understand the way their student thinks and aim to tailor the lesson to best suit their individual learning style. In addition, a good tutor should be motivating, encouraging and friendly so that the student is not afraid or hesitant to ask for assistance or say they don't understand a particular thing. As someone who is…

Inside Christie DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Jack worked through quadratic factorisation and expansion using online practice, then moved to solving simultaneous equations and applying index laws.

Year 9 student Riley focused on trigonometry concepts such as finding unknown angles and sides in triangles, plus revising probability questions similar to his recent assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Zara practiced algebraic techniques with a focus on factorisation methods like difference of two squares and perfect square patterns, and also reviewed how to simplify surds using the index laws.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student hesitated to start her algebra assignment, describing "mental blanks" and freezing when faced with new problems—this often delayed progress on simultaneous equations.

In senior trigonometry, another student confused sine and cosine because of inconsistent labeling on triangles, leading to calculation errors even after grasping the theory.

One Year 5 learner regularly second-guessed her answers during times tables revision, asking for reassurance before continuing ("if I do not respond to her answer she will second guess it").

In Year 4, forgetting to complete homework meant previously mastered skills in time questions were quickly lost between sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Christie Downs noticed that Lara, a high school student, has started to identify her own knowledge gaps and now asks for targeted help on tricky topics like graphing parabolas—something she rarely did at the start of tutoring.

Sasha, also in high school, recently demonstrated significant growth by confidently solving all factorisation questions without errors during a session, a big step up from her early struggles with algebra.

Meanwhile, Nicole in Year 4 moved from needing her fingers for times tables to recalling her 5s and 10s instantly and finished a rounding pre-assessment with a jump from 0% to 75%.

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 Noarlunga Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lonsdale Heights Primary School.
