I believe it is really important that a biology tutor is able to communicate well, encourage and understand the primary needs of their students. The tutor should then be able to think of many different and useful strategies to help the student learn. It is very important the tutor brings a sense of fun to the lesson, to urge the student to want to…

I believe that the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is make them feel welcome and build their confidence by acknowledging their progress no matter how small it is. It is also crucial for a tutor to recognize that everyone learns differently and adapt their teaching styles accordingly. Having finished high school just about…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a biology tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to…

Local Reviews

We are very happy with everything and things are going well. James is a great tutor and my son has been very comfortable and getting a lot out of the tutoring every week.
Christina, Somerton Park

Inside Glenelg SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student James worked through NAPLAN numeracy practice, focusing on ordering decimal numbers to three places and exploring the connections between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

In Year 10, Alex tackled simultaneous equations by solving using both graphical and algebraic methods, and reviewed functions and relations as part of their algebra work.

For Year 5, Finn practised X3 and X5 multiplication facts along with subtraction of decimal numbers to two places with exchanging, while also beginning to learn about metric prefixes for units of measurement.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled to keep derivative and anti-derivative formulas distinct during calculus sessions; as a tutor noted, "he mixed up the stuff," which led to repeated confusion in problem-solving.

In Year 9, James hesitated with exponential equations because key formulas weren't memorized—each unfamiliar question meant extra time flipping through notes instead of building confidence.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student found subtraction with exchanging daunting, particularly when multi-step word problems required both careful layout and number fact recall.

After holidays, one Year 5 learner needed targeted revision just to refresh basic times tables before tackling new content.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Glenelg South recently noticed some great shifts: a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on ratio questions now tackles them independently and even asked for extra practice problems this week.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who struggled with setting up her first assignment was able to solve most of the next two assignments on her own after learning new strategies.

On the primary side, one younger student who previously guessed at unknown words during reading is now pausing to use word attack skills and checking punctuation out loud as he reads.

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 Glenelg Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenelg Primary School.
