I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

Not just teach them the material but to also teach them how to learn. Especially with younger year levels, their needing of a tutor can show that they need help in education as a whole not just a subject. In older year levels that skill of self learning becomes very important. Secondly, I would say to have no stress. Coming into exam or test time,…

In my opinion the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to set the student up in a positive mindset towards learning. This includes encouraging the student to strive in their academic life as well as assist them in understanding methods they can use to seek support in learning different concepts. Being a high school student not…

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people. I think it's so important to treat students as adults, no matter their age, (Of course with a little sensibility applied) and even more importantly as an individual -- to not apply…

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not. I am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

I believe the most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them what they need to know but teach them the skills which they need to succeed on their own. I believe this because although a tutor can help with their learning, they can't be there every single step of the way, especially after high school. These skills…

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as a tutor is…

I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

I believe that a tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would stem from my…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

It would have to be that a tutor can teach a student a one on one lesson and help him improve his understanding about different ways to approach a maths or english problem which will in turn help the student extremely in the future.

Inside Gould CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4: Charlotte focused on reading comprehension and spelling by tackling word searches and syllable counting, along with reading several chapters from Andy Griffiths' 13-Storey Treehouse aloud.

Year 8: Chase explored trigonometry, including classifying angles by quadrant and solving triangle problems using cosine rule, while also working through quadratic equations—finding roots and factorising expressions.

For Year 11, Dominic practiced solving probability questions using tree diagrams and conditional probabilities, then reviewed algebraic techniques for rearranging equations ahead of a test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 English, Chase's tendency to speed-read and skip lines when encountering difficult words meant he often missed key information in texts—one tutor observed, "he must read each word carefully and slowly."

For Year 7–8 maths, Chelsea repeatedly left written solutions underdeveloped; steps were skipped or insufficiently detailed, which made it harder for her to identify errors and slowed progress with new topics.

In Year 10 mathematics, Caitlin's strong mental calculations led her to avoid writing working for complex problems. As a result, she sometimes struggled to spot sign mistakes during algebraic reasoning exercises.

Recent Achievements

One Gould Creek tutor noticed Chelsea, a Year 10 student, now tackles challenging algebra problems by independently breaking them down and isn't shy about asking for clarification mid-session—she used to wait until the end.

Caitlin, in Year 9, has started revising her daily work without reminders and this showed when she solved a set of geometry problems faster than before, applying formulas correctly on her own.

Meanwhile, Chase in primary school has shifted from guessing at unfamiliar words to confidently using finger-tap spelling and reading strategies; last session he explained new vocabulary in his own words before moving on to puzzles.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Craigmore South Primary School.
