The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to be able to fix crucial gaps in a student's knowledge. And consequently, be able to assist the student to achieve full potential in school results. Being patient and understanding that if a student doesn't understand the subject after a few times practicing it, we can always try…

Science Tutor Morphettville, SA
A tutor should motivate students to want to achieve their best and provide them with opportunities and knowledge on how they can achieve this. A tutor should create a supportive learning environment where the student can thrive and feels comfortable to ask questions. A tutor should teach their student/s how to be a self-directed learner, as this…

A high level of communication between the tutor and the student is vital as this allows a positive learning environment to be created, where students feel comfortable asking questions to attain the extra support they require. Tutors must be supportive and provide constant encouragement in order to motivate the student to achieve their best. A…

Science Tutor Blackwood, SA
The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student. There is no one-size-fits-all study skills as every students have different interests and strengths. Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

Inside Sheidow ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily focused on solving linear equations and identifying perpendicular lines, practicing with both algebraic problems and worded questions.

For Year 10, Josh worked through factorising quadratic expressions using the sum and product method and revisited expanding brackets to strengthen his exam skills.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace tackled confidence intervals for means—choosing sample sizes and understanding how sample size affects interval width—and practiced testing statistical claims using real past exam questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, occasionally multiplies when addition is required, and vice versa—this muddled process made working steps harder to follow, especially without clear equals signs.

In a Year 10 geometry session, the student was missing their book of 'mini-theorems' and had to recall details from memory, slowing progress on proofs.

For a Year 12 probability test, emailed materials were sent home because homework was incomplete; revision focused mainly on familiar question types rather than challenging scenarios.

After setbacks in calculus (Year 11), motivation dipped noticeably—time that could have been spent clarifying errors was instead spent quietly re-reading notes.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sheidow Park noticed one Year 9 student, who previously rushed through algebra and made errors with expanding brackets, now slows down and checks each step—this shift has meant fewer mistakes and more reliable answers.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who had trouble interpreting worded geometry questions is now able to break them down logically, confidently finding equations of lines using distance formula without prompting.

In a recent session, a senior student independently used their calculator to solve binomial probability problems for the first time, after weeks of needing reminders about the process.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodend Primary School.
