I think the tutor needs to make the student as comfortable as possible, with themselves and the learning process. A tutor needs to be approachable and encouraging, to ensure that the student is able to open up, allowing them to communicate the particular difficulties they are experiencing in their learning. A tutor should also aim to identify and…

Inside JoslinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Naba worked on identifying and writing ordinal numbers as words, along with using essential basic words in sentences to boost reading and writing fluency.

Year 8 student Daniel focused on solving linear equations in algebra and applied the Pythagoras theorem to geometry problems, often working through example questions together for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah completed revision on quadratic equations and tackled probability worksheets, ensuring strong understanding by practising a range of worded problems from recent assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a recurring challenge has been translating worded problems into equations—one tutor noted, "he gets tangled in his thoughts when the answer is there, but gets lost in the process," especially during algebra and multi-step reasoning. This habit led to incomplete written working and confusion between operations, slowing progress.

In Year 4, not reading questions carefully resulted in misunderstanding fraction word problems until they were read aloud together; this meant correct answers only came after significant prompting.

For a Year 1 student, messy number writing made her work difficult to read and occasionally unreadable—extra time was spent correcting basic presentation instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Joslin tutor noticed a high school student who previously struggled with fractions was able to tackle new problems accurately during their session, even managing a bonus question with minimal help—a big shift from earlier lessons where he'd often get stuck.

Another secondary student has begun to explain her reasoning in probability questions rather than just giving answers, showing she's thinking through the steps instead of guessing.

In primary years, Naba is now reading and writing numbers up to 100 confidently on her own, after needing frequent guidance before; today she completed all number-writing activities without any errors.

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 Walkerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Adelaide School.
