Very often, students sell themselves short because they have not grasped basic concepts in school. Guiding students through their subjects can inspire them to reach for their goals. 1.) Patience, 2.) Communication, 3.) Explaining complex topics from first principles, 4.) Fostering a safe environment for making and learning from…

I believe a tutor needs to be patient and adapting. They need to understand that everyone has different learning speeds and learning levels, hence their teaching styles should vary depending on each student, and they must be patient when helping. I can speak both English and Vietnamese, so I believe it is an advantage when helping a Vietnamese…

As a tutor the most we can do for is a student is to encourage them to not just learn what's in the book but also to understand the concepts with a greater depth. The other thing that tutor can do for a student to maximise their educational growth is to try and make them understand the points where they are wrong and not just to do their work for…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

Patience - It is the most critical aspect to have as a tutor. Secondly, knowledge, a historian as said half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge, hence one need to have full idea about the topic.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be compassionate and assess their situation and help them navigate through the problems they are facing.

Inside HectorvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alex explored electromagnetic induction, applying Faraday's Law and working through exam-style questions on eddy currents and AC/DC generators.

Year 10 student Mia focused on vector geometry, tackling problems involving vectors in component form and supporting her learning with vector assignment tasks.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Daniel worked on mastering fractions by practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions alongside basic algebra exercises to build foundational skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently relied on mental calculations for algebra, skipping formal written steps. As one tutor noted, "the layout of his working could be clearer"—when errors occurred, retracing logic became difficult and cost time.

In Year 11 revision, a student often defaulted to easy methods or familiar question types; this meant new exam content sometimes felt overwhelming because not enough practice was spent on less comfortable material.

During a Year 10 session, another student hesitated to ask specific questions about what she found challenging in trigonometry—leading to confusion persisting between lessons and uncertainty growing before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hectorville noticed that one Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up when confused, has started openly asking for help as soon as she's unsure—making sessions much more productive.

In a recent high school physics session, a student who'd struggled with magnetic induction was able to apply his new understanding to exam-style questions independently and even tackled some tougher problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner pushed through an initial misunderstanding in fractions and persisted until she got it right on her own.

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