I believe there are never bad students. It is the responsibility of the teacher to understand/identify the strength of the students and help them build on it. A teacher can have great influence on students life. The more positive and encouraging the teacher is, more successful and confident the student will become. Students look up to their…

I assert that successful tutors are able to build strong relationships with their students as it personalizes learning. Another thing is to teach to the student's strengths and minimizes the students weaknesses. Every student and their way of learning is different, so, as a tutor, one should be flexible according to the needs of the perplexed…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is improve their self confidence and encourage them. Students should be able to take away the learned topic and also have a sense of pride and worthiness in themselves. They should feel they have the skills and tools to further their learning in whichever direction that drives, them with the…

A tutor can explain the main concept, however,the related questions must be solved by the student itself as it promotes the concept of self-learning. As a tutor, I can sometimes unkowingly become their biggest cheerleader and that could really help them overcome any emotional stress that could become a hindrance in their studies. Therefore, a…

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.
