Tutor Waterloo Corner, SA
I consider the most important thing as a tutor is the success of my student academically through personalised lessons. I feel an obligation to ensure that my students pass or exceed in the topics they bring to the lessons and aim to empower them to create independent learners. I would say my strengths are being able to break down complex topics…

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,…

My son Patrick is now becoming more confident with Physics thanks to Daniel. We understand he has somewhat more to go, but we couldn't be more happy with his progress thus far. Thank you

Inside Port GawlerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Archie focused on revising BIDMAS and fractions after receiving his test results, ensuring he could confidently handle mixed operations;

Year 9 Suhana worked through partitioning, basic multiplication and division, and was introduced to simple fractions using visual models;

meanwhile, Year 10 Isobel practiced converting fractions to percentages and refined her skills in adding and subtracting fractions for better accuracy.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student found it difficult to remember which triangle sides were opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse in trigonometry—she needs improvement on rearranging equations, the tutor noted—which led to confusion when solving for unknowns.

In Year 10 Biology, a student hesitated to talk through her thinking during test revision and would often say "I don't know" without attempting an explanation; this limited her ability to clarify misunderstandings.

A senior student arrived at a session missing key materials (a test and English text), so feedback on errors was delayed until next time. These process gaps slowed progress and undermined confidence mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Port Gawler tutor recently saw a Year 11 student shift from relying on hints to independently spotting and correcting her own mistakes in Pythagoras' theorem problems, backchecking her work without being prompted—a big change from earlier sessions.

Another high schooler began openly talking through his approach before solving questions, allowing him to catch errors himself and move through tasks with fewer missteps.

In a younger group, a Year 3 student who used to freeze when faced with lots of numbers now calmly breaks down math problems into smaller steps and completes skip-counting activities by herself after some practice.

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 Two Wells Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Two Wells Primary School.
