I think it is most important for tutors to help students gain confidence in their own abilities regarding school work as this will help them succeed in life. As someone who has also struggled with school when I was younger and has informally tutored other, I think I am an empathetic and patient…

English Tutor Ottoway, SA
As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me. That encapsulates what I think is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student:…

Inspire. Not every child enjoys learning the way we need to in society so a teachers and tutors, we need to be able to be creative enough for those individual students who need more guidance.

The most important thing a tutor can do for one of their students is to appear approachable so the student is not afraid to ask questions or for further insight.

Probably one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the support and confidence when approaching a subject or concept that they struggle with. Allowing the students to get to the point where they may no longer struggle in that subject. One of my major strengths as a tutor would probably have to be my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

The most important thing is to instil a positive mindset. Whether it’s a difficult topic or a brand-new question, I believe students need to hear “I can figure this out.†Encouraging that mindset helps them become more resilient and independent in their learning. Content knowledge matters, but believing in your ability to improve is what…

Tutors should be able to understand that all students are on different academic levels and learn at different paces, with different styles, and hence empathise with where each individual student is at in the subject and provide empathy and support for them. To do this, tutors must build a safe and comfortable learning environment where the student…

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…

Sakshi is great and worked really well with Ella, feels like a good fit.

Inside QueenstownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Maddison worked on multiplication and division, as well as applying the gradient formula to points on a graph.

In Year 9, Marcus focused on trigonometric ratios and practiced solving angles of elevation and depression problems using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Charlotte reviewed negative indices and drew exponential graphs with reflections to reinforce understanding of function transformations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left steps out in algebra and trigonometry, saying, "I can do this in my head," which led to hidden sign errors and confusion with negative indices.

In a Year 9 scenario, missed homework was common—one lesson began with "I lost my questions," so class time had to be used for catch-up rather than new concepts.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student admitted not practicing set work; as a result, she struggled to recall how to convert fractions to percentages during problem-solving tasks.

One Year 7 session revealed that messy working and over-erasing made it hard for her to check or correct errors on perimeter questions.

Recent Achievements

One Queenstown tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through trigonometry problems now pausing to double-check her steps and talk herself through the logic aloud—something she avoided before.

In Year 9, another student initially struggled with compound area questions but recently caught onto even the more complicated ones, carefully reviewing each answer for accuracy as she worked.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who often guessed when unsure about spelling now brings her homework every week and openly asks for clarification, which helped her earn her first perfect score on a spelling test.

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 Civic Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Alberton Primary School.
