Chinese Tutor Golden Grove, SA
I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for their student is remaining patient and continue to persevere with the content. In my experience, if I didn't understand a concept or was struggling with a question, it was extremely helpful when my tutor continued to talk me through the topic and didn't get frustrated at me for not…

Chinese Tutor Newton, SA
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…

Chinese Tutor Newton, SA
Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them.
Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered. Personal…

Chinese Tutor Modbury Heights, SA
I believe that any tutor or teacher has the potential to shape and inspire a student's future. Certain teachers from my high school years, in particular, my English Literature teachers, have served to inspire and shape me to the person I have become today. Teachers can be very much like a tour guide in a new destination - good teachers open the…

Inside ParacombeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Marley revised mean, median, and mode in statistics, then worked through histograms using real data sets.
In Year 9, Jay tackled algebraic expansion with the distributive law and FOIL rule before moving on to factorising by finding common factors.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia focused on linear equations—drawing graphs from y-intercept and slope—and also practised solving for x and y in various contexts.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student, when using a scientific calculator for equations, seemed confused about entering formulas and which operations to prioritise, leading to hesitation and errors in multi-step problems.
In Year 10 algebra lessons, one student avoided writing out working—he preferred doing everything at once on the calculator, which made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in, especially with negatives.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student grew frustrated after small errors; as noted, he didn't realise he was actually improving by making and reviewing mistakes. Confidence slipped each time a sign error reappeared during fractions practice.
Recent Achievements
One Paracombe tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously hesitating when faced with unfamiliar algebra questions, began attempting new problems independently and corrected his own mistakes without prompting.
In another session, a Year 9 student who used to confuse percentage mark-ups and mark-offs started distinguishing between the two more reliably after targeted practice, showing clearer reasoning during finance exercises.
Meanwhile, in primary school, a younger student who struggled to show her working has now started writing her answers in clear steps each time, finishing all ten problems without skipping any part of her process.

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 Paracombe Primary and Preschool.
