Modern History Tutor Smithfield, SA
I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that a tutor can engender a love of learning that will…

Tutors serve a distinct role from teachers and parents, putting them in a unique position to assist learners. Personal relationships are crucial to student achievement; the more attached a student feels to his or her tutor, the more trust and respect the tutor instils in the student, both of which are necessary ingredients for effective learning.…

Modern History Tutor Hillbank, SA
I think that a tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

Modern History Tutor Lewiston, SA
I think the most important things a tutor can do is a) be consistent and persistent - constantly show up, be willing to explain things 100 times if that's what is needed. The student needs to have faith in you. And b) build confidence - tutoring isn't a short term option, by teaching them the skills of how to attack problems they don't understand,…

Important things a tutor can do for a student is simply to believe in them and to encourage them when they start feeling disparaged. I believe I have great patience when it comes to tutoring and I can break concepts down…

Inside Penfield GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia worked on understanding the perimeter and circumference of irregular shapes, as well as finding the area of kites and diamonds using visual breakdowns.

Year 9 student Oliver tackled linear equations by exploring slopes—including parallel, perpendicular, zero, and undefined cases—while also completing assignment questions on parabolic graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily focused on probability lines and calculating basic probabilities through real-world scenarios to reinforce these concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student often left assignment work, such as research projects and note-taking for English texts, until the last minute; this meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and class time was spent catching up rather than polishing skills.

In Year 10 mathematics, a student skipped written steps in equations—"he tended to skip steps and not explain them"—making it hard to catch errors before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student regularly forgot essential materials for both biology and English sessions; missing resources meant planned activities couldn't be completed, causing frustration when progress stalled mid-lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Penfield Gardens tutor saw a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra, often making careless errors—this time, he took the lead in thinking out loud and double-checking his steps, resulting in cleaner solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student who previously hesitated to ask for help during English lessons has started voicing her questions and even caught a mistake made by the tutor.

In primary sessions, one student working on multiplication mastered using finger beats as her own technique after struggling with traditional methods and now confidently completes times tables drills without freezing up when faced with new numbers.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angle Vale Primary School.
