To my understanding, I think the most important thing is helping the student to feel comfortable and supported during lessons. When a student isn’t afraid to make mistakes or ask questions, they usually learn much better. On top of that, a tutor should also try to explain things in a way that makes sense to the student and help them build…

For me, the most important thing a tutor can do is help students stop fearing what they don’t know. Once that fear is gone, they can focus on real learning instead of just chasing marks. A tutor’s role is to guide them to see mistakes as part of the process, build their confidence, and make knowledge something they’re curious about rather…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to help students understand topics in a way that makes sense to them.

Josh is doing a terrific job with our 9 year old daughter Sophie. Sophie loves her sessions with Josh so much that she has now asked for 2 a week. A great testament to Josh because what child is happy to do 2 extra hours work after school and on the weekend. The request was self initiated. Josh has a really good style which blends hard work with fun - a great way to keep children engaged. It has only be a month and we can see really good progress in Sophie and her abilities and confidence.

Inside Kent TownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alex worked through algebraic word problems and tackled rates and ratio questions, practising setting up equations from real-world scenarios.

In Year 10, Mia focused on solving trigonometry word problems and challenging geometry questions, using diagrams to visualise unknown sides and angles.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Kael concentrated on statistics for Methods, working through textbook exercises involving data interpretation and probability concepts in preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, a student's maths solutions were difficult to follow due to unclear layout; as noted, "his presentation of solutions made it harder for him to understand the problem-solving process."

A Year 9 student struggled with setting up equations in word problems—often not defining variables clearly before moving forward.

In Year 11 Biology, another found it challenging to implement memory tools she had created for differentiating endocytosis and exocytosis.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing a folio assignment in Specialist Maths had trouble structuring their approach when faced with unfamiliar, open-ended graphing tasks—resulting in repeated trial-and-error rather than purposeful revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kent Town noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when tackling worded algebra problems; now, he slows down and talks through each step out loud before solving, which has led to more accurate answers.

Another recent win involved a Year 10 student who previously struggled with trigonometry—she now confidently labels triangle sides herself and can choose the correct formula for each problem without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student, once quiet during sessions, has started asking lots of questions while building two-way tables for probability tasks.

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 Adelaide City Libraries - City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Prince Alfred College.
