Science Tutor Lower Mitcham, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

Science Tutor Coromandel Valley, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how they can learn and grasp complex problems and improve their skills on their own. This is the most important thing a tutor can do as the majority of a student's learning time is done independently, and if a student can learn to better use this time they will begin to improve no…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics. Also translate the mathematics to a way a student can understand - perhaps look at it more graphically, or by using a real world example - and by breaking down a complex problem into simple, easy to understand parts. I think I have a very versatile…

Being able to help a student achieve future problems on their own by helping them understand how to do a problem rather than just providing the solution is one of the most important things I consider a tutor can do for a student. I also think it's important to be prepared to help them with their topics by preparing first myself. I believe my…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor can lead the…

The most important thing is to develop the students confidence and give them the ability to take on problems on their own later down the track. I feel that this is the main key to success as without this ability the student will give up half way. Empowerment and showing them that it isn't as hard as what they think is crucial.

Local Reviews

My tutoring is going great, Rory is awesome and I'm very happy with the way things are going. Feeling so much better about my maths already.
Belinda, Oaklands Park

Inside Oaklands ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on ordering decimal numbers to three places and practiced NAPLAN numeracy questions involving whole number place value up to one million.

Year 6 student Oliver revised the terminology and equivalence of improper fractions and mixed numbers, as well as compared decimal numbers to three decimal places.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sophie worked through converting metric units of measurement and developed strategies for long multiplication with multi-digit numbers.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 maths, a student showed ongoing confusion with place value boards, especially labelling columns from hundredths to hundred thousands—this led to misplacement of numbers during decimal tasks.

For a Year 7 learner, messy working in algebra meant "the distributive law steps were hard to track," causing repeated errors when substituting into expressions.

A senior student in Year 10 often revised only familiar fraction types and avoided tackling new equivalence problems; this narrowed progress before assessments.

One student's reluctance to attempt challenging reading comprehension in English limited exposure to higher-order questions, making it difficult to build confidence with inference skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Oaklands Park noticed a real shift with Brooke, a high school student, who used to rely on calculators for tricky maths but now chooses to solve algebraic equations and convert fractions herself—she's even started checking her work without prompting.

Another secondary student, Maelie, previously hesitant with long division, is now working through multi-step problems independently and using the correct vocabulary when explaining each stage.

Meanwhile, Jye (primary) surprised his tutor by reading aloud new narrative texts with strong self-correction skills and pausing for punctuation—something he avoided last 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 Cultural Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ the King School.
