I can make their every doubt clear and I think making the basics and concepts clear, I can be very helpful to them. In India also, students use to come to me anytime for discussing their personal and academic problems. Being patient is my biggest strength. Apart from that, I am determined, helpful, kind and passionate. I am ambitious about being…

Be able to communicate information clearly and concisely, as well as being flexible enough to come up with different explanations for topics when a certain method isn't understood. I think it's also very important that a tutor is able to present the information in an engaging way, to help build a passion for the subject. I am friendly and patient,…

It is vital that a tutor creates a welcoming, friendly and positive atmosphere to show the student that they are willing and able to help aid them in their learning. A tutor should ensure that the student feels as though they can ask questions to clarify their understanding of content and that they have control over their own learning and can set…

It is the ability of a good tutor to find a student’s hidden potential interests and support him to pursue what he really loves to do in life. A tutor can also make the learners feel motivated and enthusiastic to face the challenges that come along. My desire to help others which can bring a difference is the one I consider as my biggest…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can lead the…

I think that a tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning techiques i.e.…

In my opinion, the most important role of a tutor is to not only retell information and explain answers but give students tools in studying different subjects that can be applicable to their independent study. In this way, the student can learn how to independently intake knowledge; a skill that will serve them not only in the year or subject that…

Be a role model and show them that it’s ok not to not be able to understand something at the beginning, but there is always a way around it to better their understandings. It’s also important for a tutor to help students reach their goals, whether that be getting certain grades or finishing an assignment. I’m a patient person and can work…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make the subject fun and enjoyable.

Local Reviews

My son was not interested in having a tutor at all and wouldn't even acknowledge Alison on our first meet and greet. After their first tutoring session he has come out saying it was a lot funner then he thought it would be and admitted she was going to be very helpful to him to grasp concepts he struggles with. Alison has been kind and understanding and has made what we thought was going to be difficult situation into an easy enjoyable time for our son. Would definitely recommend her to friends and anyone thinking about engaging a tutor.

Inside Hackham WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Lily revised factorisation methods and quadratic graphs, using visual sketches to reinforce key ideas.

In Year 9, Daniel practiced solving simultaneous equations alongside reviewing index laws, working through mixed examples for each.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Riley focused on trigonometry—finding missing angles and sides in triangles—and tackled algebraic factorisation problems to build confidence before an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often froze during algebra assignments, saying "I get a mental blank and can't start," which slowed progress on larger tasks.

In Year 8 trigonometry, mislabeling triangle sides or mixing up sine and cosine created confusion until the mistake was pointed out—highlighting a need for clearer written working.

A primary student in Year 4 showed hesitation when recalling times tables; even with correct answers, she would second-guess herself if not reassured, making her pause repeatedly mid-task.

One senior student texted just an hour before a scheduled lesson, causing missed learning time and disrupting momentum.

Recent Achievements

A Hackham West tutor recently saw Lara, a Year 10 student, move from needing frequent help with factorisation to choosing the right method independently and explaining her process aloud—something she hesitated to do just a month ago.

Sasha, in Year 8, has started identifying when she doesn't understand something and now requests clarification rather than staying silent; this shift led her to complete all factorisation questions without error last session.

In primary, Nicole worked through times tables she'd struggled with before and managed a perfect score on her recent fractions test after practicing placing them on number lines together.

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 Noarlunga Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Hackham West School.
