Science Tutor Mitchell Park, SA
Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to learn. -…

since the goal of a tutor is to teach the student I believe that the most important things tutors can do for students Is teach the underlying concept as well as the method to solving a problem, this allows the student to apply what they have learnt in different circumstances if the same underlying concept is used.

Encouragement and motivation are two of the biggest qualities that make or break a tutor; a tutor should be able to provide positive reinforcement to their students and support them all the way. Another important note is that a tutor should be versatile and adaptable, for not every child is the same, and it falls upon the tutor to make sure that…

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.
