The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade. I understand that each student is different, and that not every approach will work for an individual, so it is essential that their tutor knows how to adapt to their needs while still…

Psychology Tutor Norwood, 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…

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…

1. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident with themselves about their ability to achieve the grade they want in the subject they want.

I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

Inside MagillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Kieron focused on confidence intervals for means and proportions, as well as tackling practice questions on the Central Limit Theorem and normal distributions.

For Year 11 Jessica, recent sessions involved problem solving with similar triangles and exploring integral calculus to find the area under curves.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Nick worked through trigonometric problems using sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, along with an introduction to permutations and combinations for his maths assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student did not complete assigned homework questions for networks, leading to repeated explanations instead of building new skills—"we spent the session going over concepts which I had already explained."

A Year 11 student preparing for calculus and physics tests repeatedly avoided setting up a revision timetable, making last-minute study more stressful.

In Year 12, incomplete assignments were common, with several sessions focused on unfinished reports or calculations rather than exam practice.

For a Year 9 student, untidy written work in maths made it hard to trace errors and check steps clearly during problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

A Magill tutor noticed Kieron, a high school student, now brings his own questions from homework and class to each session—something he was hesitant to do earlier in the year.

Olivia, also in high school, recently worked through challenging calculus problems she'd previously avoided; last week she completed all revision questions on her own before moving to the next chapter.

In Year 7 maths, Jessica had struggled with ratios for weeks but this time began explaining her reasoning aloud as she finished every question without prompting from her tutor.

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 Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Magill School.
