It is necessary for teachers to be very conversant not only with academic and professional subjects but should possess adequate knowledge in other spheres such as humanities, new social trends, climatic changes, post-modern ideologies etc. Reading, dwelling in social media and conversations with people indifferent to their ages are useful…

Online Tutor Dernancourt, SA
I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

To help students understand what they can do or what options they have when they have questions or problems is important. Exclusively giving answers and solutions doesn't help students think critically and understand clearly. Instead, allowing students to figure out what they should do or comprehend certain ideas deeply would be something…

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish [and give him a rod] and you feed him for a lifetime." I think the most important thing that I can do for a student is to provide them with understanding and tools to solve their own problems. I have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts (as I am completing an Advanced…

Inside Modbury HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jasmine revised simplifying fractions and placing them accurately on number lines, then worked on converting between fractions and decimals.

Year 7 Sarah focused on multiplication with decimals by factors of ten and practiced converting units of measurement for length, weight, and volume.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Adam tackled exam-style questions covering homeostasis in biology as well as human evolution concepts, using past papers for targeted revision.

Recent Challenges

Several students across primary and high school years left homework incomplete, particularly in spelling revision (noted for a Year 4 student: "spelling will now be incorporated into both Thursday and Wednesday lessons" after repeated missed practice).

In Year 11 Biology, exam revision relied heavily on previous test papers but feedback was not always revisited—one note highlighted, "Mini-assignment set to go through in the next lesson," yet earlier corrections remained unaddressed.

A Year 7 student struggled with messy written calculations during BODMAS exercises, making it difficult to check work or spot errors quickly. This slowed progress and increased frustration before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Modbury Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on multi-step biology questions now independently works through past exam papers, only checking answers at the end instead of asking for hints throughout.

In Year 8 maths, one student who'd previously rushed and made errors when converting between units now double-checks their work and explains each step aloud before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 child who was hesitant to read out loud has started choosing new storybooks themselves during sessions and reads entire pages without prompting from the 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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Heights School.
