Tutor Kent Town, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student to enjoy learning, and impart a good studying method. After all, even the best tutor cannot help an unmotivated student, and a lack of self-motivation is the biggest obstacle that many underperforming students fail to overcome. I am good at following the student's pace.…

Tutor Heathpool, SA
I consider a tutor to be successful when they are able to not only make a difference to their students' grades but also in their lives. I have had many tutors during high school for different subjects and found that only those who were passionate, genuinely interested in my life outside of just my studies and were willing to go the extra mile were…

I think the most important thing a tutor can give a student is confidence. However, this is not just a feel self-assurance in their learning but a confidence and self-security to be wrong. The imperative of tutoring is not to build knowledge but to create an environment for learning, this means allowing students the freedom to express their…

Being able to engage the student in the lesson and making sure they actually understand. Learning should be a fun process if not it should be made as fun as possible. Being able to teach in different ways depending on how the student is able to understand. Every student has their own study methods, and ways of understanding, so according to that,…

Tutor Mansfield Park, SA
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient in the teaching and learning process. Being able to teach or solve a problem in more than one way is important to determine which method is the most helpful for the student, as each individual learns in their own way. I have been tutored before, so I know what it is…

Tutor West Hindmarsh, SA
Providing clear explanations, patient support, and tailored approaches to their learning styles are essential. A tutor should cultivate critical thinking, encourage questions, and foster a positive learning atmosphere. Equally important is instilling self-confidence and a growth mindset, enabling students to tackle challenges independently. Also,…

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.
