I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

The roll of a physics tutor is two-fold. Firstly, to help students understand the material they are working with. There are many ways to go about this, but one of the most important roles of a tutor is to be able to bring intuition to the abstract. This in addition to introducing effective methods for solving problems. The second key roll is…

Physics Tutor Craigburn Farm, SA
I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

Physics Tutor Blackwood, SA
Set clear expectations and help students develop strong study habits that extend beyond a single subject. Having recently completed SACE (in 2024) with a raw ATAR of 99.90, my knowledge of the high school curriculum is up to date. I am aware of common troubles many students experience in a variety of high school subjects, and through personal…

Inside HeathfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Oliver worked on multiplication and division skills as well as tackling time questions using word problems.

For Year 9, Ethan focused on factorisation of polynomials and practiced graphing equations by hand to reinforce algebraic understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sophie revised logarithms for an upcoming test and reviewed methods for rearranging algebraic expressions, emphasising accuracy under timed conditions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student in Heathfield often skipped showing full working for algebra, which made it difficult to spot and fix sign errors—he skipped steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing for physics tests hadn't completed enough revision between sessions; this led to uncertainty when choosing equations during circular motion problems.

In Year 8, another learner's tendency to rush through worded maths questions resulted in frequent misinterpretations of what was actually being asked. These habits meant time was lost untangling misunderstandings rather than building confidence with new content.

Recent Achievements

A Heathfield tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to lose marks for small algebra slips is now catching these mistakes before submitting practice tests, double-checking his work rather than rushing through.

In Year 9 maths, another student—who previously stayed quiet when confused—has started explaining her thinking out loud during problem-solving, which has helped clarify tricky division steps she'd often skip over in silence before.

A younger primary student was initially hesitant with time problems but now confidently tells the tutor whether to add or subtract minutes and finishes all set questions without needing prompts.

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