Science Tutor Mount Barker, SA
I would say one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to show them the compassion and support they need to gain self-confidence and realise their full potential. In my previous tutoring groups, I would often have students who felt like they would never be good academically, and this was simply not true. All that had happened…

Science Tutor Mount Barker, SA
As a student myself I believe it is vital to have a level of understanding and patience when assisting with a child's learning as this develops a safe and healthy learning environment. Aside from my extensive understanding of mathematics and physics, I believe that my personal attributes of empathy, and strong listening and communication skills…

Science Tutor Blakiston, SA
I think that an important thing for a tutor to do is to be available, even if it be through technology or in person. As a student, I understand that sometimes it may just be a singular question that gets you down, or in other cases an entire unit. Hence, being able to support all circumstances is imperative. Another important factor is that…

We have been really happy so far and I can see it making a real difference to Annabelle's confidence. Josh is just lovely and very encouraging so we are really pleased.

Inside Mount BarkerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie focused on multiplying large numbers and building confidence with times tables, as well as tackling equivalent fractions and worded fraction problems using games for reinforcement.

Year 7 student Annabelle worked through interpreting probability worksheets from school and practiced creating graphs from tables, then extracting data to answer questions.

Sydney, also in Year 4, strengthened her multiplication and division skills using targeted worksheets and explored fractional equivalence, including representing fractions on number lines.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often felt overwhelmed by multi-step maths questions, sometimes giving up quickly if too much information was presented.

In algebra tasks, "she skipped reading the full question and missed key details," leading to avoidable mistakes.

During a senior fractions lesson, another student rushed through calculations without checking their work, resulting in repeated errors with decimal conversions.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student was reluctant to finish homework when tired but completed it with encouragement.

For one Year 9 learner, seeking constant reassurance slowed progress—each answer was checked before moving on.

When tiredness hit after school events, focus drifted and working became inconsistent.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Barker noticed Jay has started catching his own mistakes during division without prompting—last term he'd often just guess and move on.

Sophie, also in high school, showed real initiative by preparing her own revision cheat sheet before the lesson even began, something she hadn't tried previously.

In primary sessions, Annabelle moved from hesitating over multi-step word problems to quickly breaking them down and explaining her reasoning out loud.

Jay wrapped up by tackling all ten times tables rows independently for the first time this term.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cornerstone College.
