The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to foster a supportive and encouraging learning environment. This involves not only teaching the material but also building the student’s confidence in their own abilities. A tutor should inspire curiosity and provide the tools for students to become independent learners, so they feel…

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…

In my opinion, tutors can help students in setting goals and achieve them from time to time. As a leader, they need to implement situational leadership and try to incorporate different teaching methods for different kinds of students. My strengths would basically include my communication skills and assertiveness with the students. In addition, I…

Science Tutor Kent Town, SA
As a tutor, I believe it is very important to teach and advice on 'how to study' along with concepts. Throughout my undergraduate degree, through friends, my tutors and lecturers, I have learnt many tricks and tips which I love to share with my students making them understand concepts better and build a liking for the subject. I enjoy what I study…

Instead of focusing on traditional way of teaching, a teacher should be able to spark curiosity. Instead of telling them to write, teacher should tell them how writing makes you think critically. Additionally, teachers should understand that every student is unique and they might have different learning methods which suits them. Education system…

A tutor's main job is to help re-explaining new concepts and/or help students consolidate new concepts as well as integrating new ones as they are being taught. Therefore, the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to explain new concepts in simple and relatable terms, encourage interests in a particular subject and most…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating lesson plans and methods based around that student. The tutor should also never make a student feel dumb or less capable, but instead should show the students that they have the same capabilities as their peers, it may just take other methods, and concepts that they are not getting…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is to help the student find confidence that they can achieve, whilst keeping their passion alive for the subject.

A tutor needs to be patient when tutoring a student especially in subjects like mathematics and physics since those subjects require the most assumed knowledge in high school than any other subject, students normally have trouble recollecting previous works. Therefore, it is important for a tutor to start from the very basic concepts, if the…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is be encouraging towards a student; often students get tutoring in a subject they are struggling in and are already mentally finding it difficult so it is critical a tutor positively encourages them and reminds them of their improvement. It is also very important a tutor listens to the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not just help with homework and assignments, but build a solid understanding of key concepts and other basics (especially in maths and science) so that the student is equipped with the knowledge and confidence to tackle a wide range of problems on their own. I think one of my…

I feel tutors need to provide constructive feedback for the students, especially in an English essay for example. They need to give them specific help in areas they are struggling in by identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Tutors also need to help students stay on top of task, help them complete assignments in time, this means they need to…

Build confidence, explain concepts clearly, and make students feel comfortable asking questions.

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student. There is no one-size-fits-all study skills as every students have different interests and strengths. Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

Inside GreenhillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alyssia focused on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, then practised creative writing using commas and exclamation points.

In Year 9, James revised coordinate geometry by graphing points in different quadrants and determining if given points lie on specific lines.

For Year 11 Chemistry, Alyssia tackled titration calculations by applying molar ratios and rearranging n = m/M and C × V equations to solve practical problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student's session highlighted ongoing challenges with handwriting—mid-sentence capital letters and rambling sentences made their work hard to follow, sometimes causing ideas to get lost.

In a Year 10 algebra lesson, the tutor observed: "He preferred to look at what he'd already done rather than try new questions," revealing an over-reliance on prior answers instead of attempting unfamiliar problems.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student repeatedly referenced formulas instead of applying concepts independently during multi-step calculations; this slowed progress when adapting methods to new types of exam questions. The hesitation lingered even as test deadlines approached.

Recent Achievements

One Greenhill tutor noticed that Oscar, a Year 5 student who previously hesitated with fractions, was able to work through fraction problems almost independently this week and started using commas correctly to separate ideas in his writing after reminders.

In a recent high school session, Alyssia showed real progress in chemistry: after needing step-by-step support with titration equations at first, she completed mixed-ratio questions entirely on her own by the end of the lesson.

Meanwhile, Lucy, also in high school, demonstrated new initiative by identifying her weak points in statistics and tackling practice questions with far less reliance on previous examples than before.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
