I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to always try to understand their student. Everyone learns differently, needs help in different ways, and faces different problems. There's no one size fits all and tutoring offers students a chance that they don't have in classrooms of thirty other students where they a learn in a way that makes…

When each session ends, students should be comfortable with the content covered, and also comfortable with applying the concepts in a variety of ways. Tutors need to enable students and help their way of thinking on how to approach different kinds of questions, especially questions that students don't know how to approach. Also, it is important…

Modern History Tutor Tusmore, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them to enjoy learning. While some may believe tutoring is a means by which students are forced to study, I think of it more so as a means by which students can be exposed to different ways of learning and retaining information. I am a rather calm and collected individual and thus, I…

My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

The most important way in which I can aid my students is by providing them with the capability to master new content on their own.

I believe my main strengths as a…

As such…

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.
