Psychology Tutor Seaton, SA
I think that the most important things that a tutor should have when teaching students is to dedicate as much Time as possible to the student in order to understand the tasks they are required to do. Patience is also another important thing to have as things take time. Dedication, not giving up on the student, everyone learns at their own…

Setting goals and personalizing each lesson for the student. Knowing what the students what to achieve from each session and making plans to ensure they get the most out of it each time. I excel in English literature but am flexible with any subjects within social sciences. In teaching itself I'm patient and like to work with the students until…

Psychology Tutor Adelaide, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and notice. Students pay more attention and are willing to learn when they feel that their opinions are heard and acknowledged. I am an extremely patient person. I can work with each student as an individual and let them grow and work at their own pace. I am also an…

Psychology Tutor Adelaide, SA
The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

Psychology Tutor Adelaide, SA
Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

Psychology Tutor North Plympton, SA
A tutor can improve one's overall understand of the subject, not just a specific understanding about a material. That is important because it is building the bigger picture of each subject in the long term. I am flexible in my teaching method, and I am able to adjust to each student depending on what they…

Psychology Tutor Rose Park, SA
I think that being able to build a rapport with the student is one of the fundamental skills to be a good tutor. This lays the foundation for the student being comfortable in asking questions to the tutor, as well as the tutor finding a teaching style that is most suited to the student. I am confident in my ability to explain subject matter to the…

Psychology Tutor Ottoway, SA
As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me. That encapsulates what I think is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student:…

Psychology Tutor Enfield, SA
Just being able to provide a good quality of help and support for a student, in an encouraging and motivating manner, is what I would consider to be the most important thing a tutor could do for their student. Furthermore, creating that resilience and space of being able to ask for help without feeling shame or guilt along the way. I believe that…

Psychology Tutor Henley Beach South, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

Lisa is amazing maths tutor and very polite and lovely person! She is so well organised and her encouraging approach is much appreciated. My daughter was so happy with Lisa's tutoring and she said that nobody ever explained maths to her so well.

Inside KilkennyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Elousia built confidence with multiplication tables up to 12 and practiced clear, well-spaced handwriting while writing a book review using new vocabulary.

For Year 8, James focused on rearranging linear equations and inequalities as well as graphing linear equations by hand, then revised Pythagoras' theorem and square roots.

In Year 12 English, Sarah worked on structuring essays using TEEL paragraphs and planned ideas for her analysis of Fly Away Peter in preparation for exam conditions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student often skipped writing out working steps and relied on "just seeing the answer," as noted: "she needed constant reminding to show all rearranging processes." This led to hidden errors in equations.

A Year 7 learner was observed losing focus easily during geometry tasks, sometimes guessing answers rather than carefully thinking through them, resulting in repeated mistakes that were hard to trace back.

Meanwhile, in a primary-level maths session, incomplete workbook exercises meant gaps in basic skills persisted—one tutor reported having to finish problems together instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Kilkenny tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously tended to guess at answers is now taking time to write out steps and check her work, especially on square root and rearrangement problems—showing much more care with process than before.

In a recent Year 7 session, a student who often hesitated to ask for help began talking through her thought process aloud when stuck, which helped her solve homework worded questions independently.

Meanwhile, an upper primary student has become confident recalling tricky times tables and now uses the bathroom wall chart at home to reinforce learning between lessons.

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 Civic Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Whitefriars School.
