Tutor Adelaide, SA
I think it is the ability to understand the student's capability and their needs. Therefore, as a tutor, I can provide personalised learning lessons that are suitable to the student, hence, they can still progress at their own pace without too much pressure. The most important quality required as a tutor is my good subject knowledge. In addition,…

I feel that it is extremely important for a tutor to help the student learn content in a way that is personalised to them. A significant number of students who are under the impression that they do not understand a subject are simply not absorbing the information in the right way. If a tutor can help the student discover the method they learn…

Identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses is crucial. I would ensure their strengths are reflected through their work and that we are spending extra time focusing on the weaker areas. As a tutor, you act as the student's moral support, as the subjects they are receiving tutoring for are the subjects they find the most challenging. You are…

1. To raise the student's confidence level. One of the students' mom commented on how I was always encouraging her daughter, and she found that so important, because if her daughter kept feeling bad about herself and kept doubting her abilities, she would probably never be able to do well. 2. To make the session interesting. It would be tough for…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student to enjoy learning, and impart a good studying method. After all, even the best tutor cannot help an unmotivated student, and a lack of self-motivation is the biggest obstacle that many underperforming students fail to overcome. I am good at following the student's pace.…

The most important thing in tutoring is ensuring teaching is catered to each individual student. A tutoring session is often set up as a one-on-one session allowing a unique relationship between student and tutor, whereby a tutor can gain a deep understanding of the teaching that works best for a student, and ways that may not work so well. As a…

Inside Plympton ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Finn practised adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers and worked through word problems involving these operations.

In Year 9, James revised circular motion in Physics—clarifying centripetal force—and reviewed key statistics concepts such as mean, median, and mode using his school test materials.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Una focused on preparing for upcoming assessments by tackling break-even analysis and capital gains calculations in Maths, while also reviewing atomic theory basics in Chemistry.

Recent Challenges

During a Year 8 session, Mavis left her math booklet at home, which meant time was lost re-explaining previously covered concepts.

In Year 11 Chemistry, another struggled to recall technical terms—she could explain ideas but couldn't name them, as in "the reproduce at different times one" instead of 'temporal isolation'.

A senior student avoided answering questions when unsure; this habit led to gaps during practice tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student focused only on easy times tables and avoided harder multiplication facts, which slowed progress in mixed-operation problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Plympton Park noticed a real shift for Mavis, who used to hesitate with reading aloud but recently volunteered to read the comprehension text herself and tackled tricky words without prompting—she even asked about unfamiliar terms instead of skipping them.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Una has started catching her own calculation mistakes and correcting them on the spot, which is a big change from needing step-by-step guidance before.

Another high school session saw Chloe independently solving several algebra problems after previously relying on hints for each step; she finished by working through two questions entirely on her own.

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 Marion Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forbes Primary School.
