Tutor Kensington, SA
For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

A vital aspect of tutoring is being non-judgemental. it is important for a tutor to make the student feel comfortable to share if they do not understand something or are struggling. If a student feels as if they will be judged or considered inadequate they are less likely to come to tutor’s for help. Building a strong relationship is extremely…

A tutor can make learning enjoyable by emphasising on the practical aspects and usage. It is also incumbent upon the tutor to help the student realise the difference learning brings in life and helps them make a responsible and better human being. Patience, friendliness and ability to make the child comfortable by not being a 'Tutor' in the…

Be adaptable to individual students and across each time you see them. People learn in different ways at different times. Sometimes students have had a bad day, so you may have to adapt the lesson to make sure they get as much out of it as possible. Preparation is also very important. If you a stumbling around thinking of things to do next,…

The most important thing a tutor must do is to assess the student's answer and provide feedback, as that really helps them learn from their mistakes. Equally integral is, taking a doubt session as solving the doubts of the student not only improves learning but also develops a sense of confidence in the student about the subject, which develops a…

A tutor must be patient, flexible, honest and attentive. It is important that tutors do not give students the answer directly but allows the student to discover the answer with extra guidance. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

I believe it is important to understand the student's weaknesses and strengths before starting to teach them.

Hence, I try to first help them understand the basics then go…

Excellent service when I telephoned to inquire about a tutor in my area. The tutor was polite, friendly and, most importantly, knowledgeable in her field.

Inside Kensington GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Emily focused on subtraction and multiplication, using visual aids to strengthen understanding of number facts.

In Year 11, Olivia worked through quadratic equations and practiced sketching graphs of parabolas to build confidence with exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled differential equations and explored statistical regression techniques, applying these concepts to real-world data sets during the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student often left school homework unfinished, and as a tutor noted, "missed a lesson," which meant less time reinforcing number skills.

In one session, a Year 11 student struggled to write out questions and answers clearly during algebra work—untidy working made it difficult to spot errors or explain thinking later.

For a Year 9 test on geometry and simultaneous equations, there hadn't been enough revision time; gaps showed up in the result.

After setbacks, one Year 10 student expressed low confidence about her maths test score, despite likely doing better than she believed.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington Gardens tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now takes the lead on tough integration problems and recently reported their latest test was probably their best yet.

Another high schooler showed newfound independence by working through challenging vectors questions without prompting—just a few sessions ago, they needed step-by-step support.

In primary maths, Aryo started bringing his own homework to lessons and now answers many questions unaided, especially around times tables and fractions; last week he finished an entire worksheet unaided.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
