English Tutor Eden Hills, SA
I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

Our modern world is built around education and every student can expect to experience a lot of it in the future. Therefore, it is most important that a tutor should model genuine interest in learning (both the subject matter and how to learn well), so that the student him/herself enjoys the process and is encouraged to become a lifelong learner.…

1. A tutor can shape how a student thinks about a particular topic/subject. If while teaching something the tutor himself/herself is not interested then the student will be less likely to pay 100% attention 2.

Local Reviews

Need help in year 12 mathematics
dainon Mitchell, Aberfoyle Park

Inside O'Halloran HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Liam reviewed congruence and similar triangles, focusing on practice test questions to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Emily worked through graphing linear equations and finding midpoints between two points, using coordinate geometry problems to reinforce understanding before a test.

For Year 12, Jack explored the Central Limit Theorem and confidence intervals, comparing how different confidence levels impact interval width and the likelihood of Type I errors.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to recall exponent rules during assignments, leading to hesitation and confusion about which step to take next ("sometimes confused by which step to take, as there can be multiple options").

In Year 11, one student was missing their 'mini-theorems' book before a test—without it, key processes were harder to review and apply.

Another in Year 12 often hesitated when interpreting worded problems into algebraic form; this slowed progress on cost function questions.

For one Year 10 student, working with large text blocks made extracting relevant information tricky—time was lost re-reading instead of solving.

Recent Achievements

One O'Halloran Hill tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to algebra: after weeks of hesitating over expanding brackets, she independently completed several binomial expressions without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 11 student who previously avoided asking for help began pausing to clarify function notation questions rather than guessing—this new habit led to her correctly distinguishing between functions and relations on her own.

Meanwhile, a primary student made the connection between fractions, decimals, and percentages for the first time and confidently explained how they relate during practice problems.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
