Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition. Maths is hard and it is easy to feel discouraged; so being able to boost morale and keep them going is important in them being successful. I really do try to be engaging; I try to speak to students as an equal. I think talking to them as regular people and have regular…

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…

According to me the most important trait in a tutor is patience. It is not necessary that each child learns at the same pace. A tutor should also possess the ability to create and provide problem statements which help the student to get a grip over the topic. Along with a good speaker a tutor must be a good listener making the session more…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen.

The most important thing a tutor can do is not to flaunt their own brainpower like a flashy superhero cape.

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 consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

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.
