Software Dev Tutor Paradise, SA
They can teach them to appreciate how amazing math is, and why it is so interesting to study. I also believe they need to teach them how to go about solving new problems (the process) and how they will then use these skills in the future. I have been volunteer tutoring since year 11 (2020) and have gained proper training as a PASS (Peer Assisted…

A tutor needs to be patient when tutoring a student especially in subjects like mathematics and physics since those subjects require the most assumed knowledge in high school than any other subject, students normally have trouble recollecting previous works. Therefore, it is important for a tutor to start from the very basic concepts, if the…

Software Dev Tutor Norwood, SA
I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

Being a tutor, one can do a lot of things for a student apart from teaching. A tutor has the responsibility of mentoring the students in career and general life. The tutor should be empathetic and able to understand the student to provide relevant support. I am a high achiever myself. Being a uni student, I can relate to the students' problems in…

As a tutor, it is very important to be a source of encouragement for each student equally and make them believe in themselves to be successful(success-as defined by each person and not according to the standards of the general public).

Local Reviews

Chloe gets along very well with Huey & has told us she feels much better already.
Ron, Northfield

Inside NorthfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student completed a review of 2-5 times tables and worked on reading comprehension.

Year 9 student Amber practised drawing linear graphs for trebuchets and determined the standard form of linear equations (y=mx+c).

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia focused on quadratic problem solving by applying the quadratic formula to perimeter problems and revisited completing the square using guided examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's working out in algebra was described as "messy and hard to follow," with missed steps leading to sign errors—especially when expanding or simplifying (a+b)^2 expressions.

In Year 11, a lack of preparation for trigonometry tasks showed up when key formulas were missing from the cheat sheet; this left the student unsure about when to use cosine versus SOHCAHTOA.

One primary-level learner often guessed answers rather than working through multiplication tables, slowing recall and lowering confidence after mistakes.

When tired, a senior maths student made repeated errors calculating with negatives, compounding confusion during Pythagoras questions.

Recent Achievements

A Year 10 student, who used to need frequent reminders, came prepared with specific questions already circled and managed to keep strong focus during an extended lesson—something that's been tricky before.

In Year 8 maths, another student showed new independence by applying indices laws without prompting and correctly recalling area formulas learned earlier this year.

Meanwhile, a younger student has started reciting their 2x tables smoothly and is making clear progress on the 3x tables after struggling to remember them in past sessions.

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 Enfield Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Northfield Primary School.
