Info Processing Tutor North Adelaide, SA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating lesson plans and methods based around that student. The tutor should also never make a student feel dumb or less capable, but instead should show the students that they have the same capabilities as their peers, it may just take other methods, and concepts that they are not getting…

The most important thing is for a tutor to understand the student and listen to them.

I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

Being a tutor, one can do a lot of things for a student apart from teaching. A tutor has the responsibility of mentoring the students in career and general life. The tutor should be empathetic and able to understand the student to provide relevant support. I am a high achiever myself. Being a uni student, I can relate to the students' problems in…

Inside PoorakaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 12 student Alex revised differentiation from first principles and applied calculus to projectile motion, including practice with tangent equations.
Year 11 student Priya worked through kinematics questions for an upcoming test and clarified optimisation techniques using example problems.
Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ethan tackled linear graphs—drawing up equations in y=mx+c form and interpreting coordinates—with extra focus on relating scenarios to graph movement.
Recent Challenges
In Year 9 mathematics, one student's working was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly when applying the midpoint formula; this made it harder to catch sign errors.
Another Year 10 learner skipped steps when converting fractions, confusing positive and negative signs—a tutor noted, "skipping some steps mentally led to mix-ups with signs."
In a primary session, a child often struggled to explain their method or thinking aloud and hesitated to attempt verbal explanations during worded problems.
Without regular revision or organized written work, misunderstandings persisted into new topics and created barriers in problem-solving moments.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Pooraka recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess at graph problems now setting out multi-step working clearly and explaining slope changes without prompting.
Another high schooler, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, initiated a discussion on projectile motion during a calculus session and worked through several tricky doubts before their test.
In a primary lesson, one child who previously rushed maths worksheets slowed down this week to check each answer and fixed mistakes independently—finishing the whole set with no corrections needed from the tutor.

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 Mawson Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pooraka Primary School.
