The most important things a tutor can do for a student extend beyond academic instruction. While helping students grasp challenging concepts is crucial, equally vital is fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. A tutor should adapt teaching methods to suit the student's unique learning style, provide constructive feedback, and…

English Tutor Manningham, SA
Tutors needs to deliver their fullest in educating the student. They need to have the patience to redirect from the main concept in focus to teach the fundamentals which the student lacks the knowledge. I explain as detailed as possible depending on the extent the student knows-if the student lacks the basics of the subject, I make a considerable…

English Tutor Burnside, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content. Personally, I struggled with auditory learning as a student, and would therefore ask my teachers to give me a range of tactile learning techniques to assist in my learning. I…

It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

A tutor should be patient and never say something is easy. They should always encourage and find ways to explain something step-by-step such that everything is explained and can be linked back to a central idea. I am patient, friendly, and I can see and understand why something can be difficult to understand. I encourage and can relate to finding…

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

Inside Payneham SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Pranavi worked on multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 as well as solving worded questions involving fractions and reviewing area and perimeter of quadrilaterals with decimals.

In Year 8, Milly tackled converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages along with practising division and order of operations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Harrison focused on solving quadratic equations using the null factor law in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student sometimes avoided writing out steps when working with algebraic expressions, which led to confusion about signs and coefficients—"she wrote 3y as 3 + y," a tutor noted, causing calculation errors.

In Year 7, one student's maths book showed layout issues: answers were jumbled and place value columns not lined up during grid multiplication, making it hard to spot mistakes until much later.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to answer worded questions in English, often skipping them or providing only brief responses; this meant missed opportunities for feedback and growth in comprehension skills.

Recent Achievements

One Payneham South tutor noticed Milly now self-corrects her mistakes when working with algebraic expressions—last week, she spotted and fixed an error without prompting, something she hesitated to do before.

In a recent high school maths session, Harrison started showing all his steps for trigonometry problems after previously skipping working out; he even remembered the equations for sine and cosine with less guidance than usual.

Meanwhile, in primary English, Naba has begun tracing numbers 2–4 and 6–9 independently instead of waiting for direction—a real change from earlier lessons where she needed step-by-step help.

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 Payneham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's School.
