Thu Ngan
Tutor Athol Park, SA
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient in the teaching and learning process. Being able to teach or solve a problem in more than one way is important to determine which method is the most helpful for the student, as each individual learns in their own way. I have been tutored before, so I know what it is…

Inside RidleytonTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Olivia worked on converting between kilometres, metres, centimetres, and millimetres as well as tackling worded problems that required choosing the right mathematical operation.
In Year 8, Ethan practised expanding algebraic brackets and applied the difference of two squares formula to a range of examples.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava focused on solving quadratic equations and calculating the distance between two points using coordinate geometry methods.
Recent Challenges
Repeatedly forgetting to complete homework limited the chance to apply lesson feedback and slowed progress with algebra for a Year 7 student.
In Year 10, messy or cramped working in tests led to sign errors that weren't spotted until marking. She could consider spacing out her writing, which would help her see things clearer.
A senior student didn't use written notes efficiently for revision, so key formulae were missed in problem-solving. When a test was upcoming, she did not alert the tutor in advance, missing out on targeted preparation support.
Recent Achievements
A Ridleyton tutor noticed a real shift with Athena, a Year 10 student, who recently moved from hesitating on worded algebra problems to solving them efficiently and even scored 87% on her latest test—her highest yet.
In another session, Valentina in Year 8 began proactively writing down her thought process during homework instead of waiting for hints, helping her secure full marks.
Meanwhile, Natalia in primary school is now confidently breaking down multi-step worded maths questions and independently selecting the correct operations, something she struggled with just weeks ago.
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 Hindmarsh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian Islamic College Adelaide.
