Science Tutor Holden Hill, SA
Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content. Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to understand it.…

As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best. This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

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. Lastly, presentation, we should be presentable enough to make the peere comfortable. Since long years of tutoring, biggest strength of my…

Firstly, the most important thing that a tutor should do is build up confidence in their kids that they have the potential to achieve their goals and are destined for the best. This instantly boosts up the kids for striving for accuracy and their dreams. Secondly, a tutor should never be a demotivator in any manner. This is important as any…

The tutor's objective is not simply to relay information to a student in a bland or dry manner, but rather to establish a solid foundation and understanding for the students - to devise a teaching method that works best.

Tutors needs to deliver their fullest in educating the student.

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care.

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns. Without this ability to change as necessary you are putting your students at a significant disadvantage. Breaking down complex concepts into simple ideas.

Inside HillcrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Bianca focused on combinations and consolidating her 9 times tables through targeted practice.

In Year 10, Sophia worked through linear equations in preparation for an upcoming test, building confidence with different solving techniques.

Meanwhile, Isabelle in Year 12 completed lessons on the chain rule and product rule for calculus, including practice problems to prepare for her next assessment.

Recent Challenges

During online lessons with a Year 11 student, she was still a bit confused when factoring quadratics, and relied on worksheets for support—this sometimes led to missed opportunities for independent problem-solving.

A Year 7 student avoided bringing school work, making it hard to target feedback or address gaps (student needs to bring school work so I can see where she is at at school).

Meanwhile, in Year 5, a reluctance to complete assigned homework meant less practice consolidating new methods.

These patterns resulted in slower progress and moments of uncertainty when applying concepts without direct guidance.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hillcrest noted a real shift for a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to tackle maths problems alone, now regularly attempts new questions without prompting—last session, she completed her homework independently and even moved ahead to the next chapter.

In Year 8, one student who previously struggled with understanding negative numbers made a breakthrough by connecting them to real-life examples like money owed, leading her to correctly apply subtraction rules for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner began confidently counting objects in groups using patterns instead of tallying each item individually, showing increased confidence with grouping.

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 Greenacres Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Pius X School.
