The most important thing a student gets from a 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 hence…

A student that has a 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 method is…

Help them realise and reach their full potential, and to encourage them to keep trying their best. I think a good tutor sparks interest in the subject with an engaging teaching style, and breaking down the fear or mental blocks / self doubt that often come with school subjects. I believe I am patient, and want to get the best out of people. I am…

The most important things for a tutor is to be supportive and understanding.

My main strength in tutoring is being able to adapt my approach…

A Tutor guides the student to find the answers for themselves rather than be the font of all knowledge. The student will become self reliant. Teaching a student how to learn is the most important.

The most important things for tutors to do is to support, guide and teach a student. It is important for a tutor to help students learn life skills as well as how to do their given subject.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is figure out a specific learning method that is appropriate for the student. Each student is different; hence, how they learn and understand a concept differs and as tutors, it is essential to create a method that caters to each student. In addition, the pace is also essential to…

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…

Lisa Atherton

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.
