I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

Something that sets me apart from many other tutors is that I’m very relatable, something which I think is very important to a student. Personally, I’ve known in the past what it’s like to sometimes struggle academically, however, experience has shown me that part of it what it takes to succeed is a great work ethic and an awesome mentor.…

I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that a tutor can engender a love of learning that will…

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…

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people. I think it's so important to treat students as adults, no matter their age, (Of course with a little sensibility applied) and even more importantly as an individual -- to not apply…

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as a tutor is…

I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

I assert that successful tutors are able to build strong relationships with their students as it personalizes learning. Another thing is to teach to the student's strengths and minimizes the students weaknesses.

Shan tutored my son for a term in year 9 math, specifically trigonometry, statistics and probability. Shan helped to explain concepts and worked with my son to improve his knowledge and understanding. My son got his first A in his statistics math test!

Inside Salisbury HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Olivia practised converting between kilometres, metres and other units of length, then solved worded problems on the area of rectangles.

Year 10 student Jay revised trigonometry and measurement for an upcoming exam, focusing on applying formulas to different triangle types.

For Year 11, Lucy tackled discrete random variables in statistics by working through lesson notes after illness absence, and reviewed Bernoulli variables and binomial distributions using textbook questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, interpreting worded problems remained a challenge; as one tutor observed, "She needed extra time just to work out what the question was asking."

In Year 11 Chemistry, missing key procedures and results from an experiment led to gaps in a practical report—she'll need to contact her teacher for these details before completing the assignment.

For a Year 8 student working on algebraic manipulation, skipping simplification steps resulted in confusion during multi-step equations.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for English found it difficult to start research early, limiting lesson time spent refining arguments and ideas.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Salisbury Heights noticed that a Year 10 student who used to wait for prompts now self-attempts challenging maths questions, even tackling flowchart problems by choosing inverse operations without help.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Lucy moved from needing repeated explanations to independently identifying uncertain concepts and focusing the session on those—by lesson's end, she could confidently solve enthalpy calculations that were previously a struggle.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once hesitated to use diagrams began drawing them unprompted to break down complex area problems and found this made understanding much easier.

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 Salisbury Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tyndale Christian School.
