Provide guidance and encouragement. Also allowing the student to have a go on their own will assist them in thinking for themselves whilst stepping in when needed. Making sure concepts are well understood by the student is of high importance and the tutor should facilitate this understanding. The student should start to feel more confident in…

I want to teach them how to solve the math and explain the homework or material from school. After that, students must do the questions that i give or do the homework from…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

I believe there are several things a tutor can deliver to her students, the primary of which is to instill a sense of confidence and can-do attitude among them. This means my role will not only limit to a tutor but also a mentor, guiding my students on multiple aspects of their academic path. As a seasoned tutor and teacher of English, I'd say my…

Of course being able to teach and make the student understand the lesson. But understanding does not simply imply understanding just for the sake of passing the subject in the Uni, understanding the lesson means how the learning can be applied to practical experience or to day to day living. Touching the mind is tantamount to influencing a…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

Local Reviews

Daniel is great and Charlize is really enjoying the sessions.
Dean, Wayville

Inside ForestvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom explored time calculations and worked through problems on perimeter and area.

In Year 10, Lily revised key features of polynomials for an upcoming test and practiced solving trigonometric equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on sketching graphs using first and second derivatives, identifying turning points and inflection points with the help of sign diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's chemistry report was flagged for unclear structure and weak communication of key points—layout and logical flow need improvement, as the tutor noted, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically."

In Year 10, a student didn't complete assigned fractions problems over the holidays; this meant new material on polynomials felt rushed, with less time for feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's messy worksheets made it hard to track formulas during graphing tasks.

In primary years, one child hesitated to draw diagrams in worded maths questions, making it harder to connect concepts when problem-solving under test conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Forestville tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with test-style problem solving has begun pinpointing her own weaknesses and now proactively works through similar questions until she's satisfied—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school maths session, another student independently created a "cheat sheet" for an upcoming trigonometry test and remembered to use it during practice, showing more self-directed study habits than in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often missed parts of multi-step problems now double-checks her work unprompted and corrects mistakes on her own 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 Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Goodwood Primary School.
