English Tutor Mount Barker, SA
I would say one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to show them the compassion and support they need to gain self-confidence and realise their full potential. In my previous tutoring groups, I would often have students who felt like they would never be good academically, and this was simply not true. All that had…

Inside FlaxleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Sophie worked on multiplying large numbers and improving her approach to worded problems, using diagrams to break down multi-step questions, and later practiced converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

Year 4 Sydney focused on building confidence with multiplication and division using worksheets, then moved on to fraction fundamentals and explored equivalency in school-based tasks.

Annabelle, also in Year 4, completed a maths worksheet from school covering probability concepts and applied them through real-life examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 maths, a common theme was rushing through questions without carefully reading them—"she needs to practice working out what the question is actually asking her before rushing into the answer," as one tutor noted. This led to avoidable mistakes, especially in multi-step problems.

In upper primary, there were frequent requests for reassurance at each step; hesitation and seeking confirmation slowed progress and signaled wavering confidence.

A senior student faced overwhelm with worded problems in fractions: giving up quickly when information seemed dense or unfamiliar, missing chances to connect concepts across topics.

Tiredness sometimes meant unfinished homework or difficulty focusing mid-lesson, making new skills harder to consolidate.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Flaxley noticed a big shift with Jay, a Year 8 student who used to get frustrated when making mistakes; now he actively recognises errors during division tasks and works through them with real persistence instead of giving up.

Annabelle, in Year 10, previously hesitated on problem-solving questions but recently started tackling new percentage calculations independently and could clearly explain her reasoning without prompting.

Meanwhile, Sydney (Year 7) moved beyond basic multiplication—after some practice, she tackled complex problems like 14 × 52 and completed nearly all textbook exercises on her own by the end of the session.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Macclesfield Primary School.
