English Tutor Smithfield, SA
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 an english tutor can engender a love of learning…

English Tutor Blakeview, SA
I believe understanding the logic behind math can be very versatile and can be applied in everyday life, whenever it is maths or applying logic to your own life. I am currently studying Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics and physics. I really enjoy maths but I also have experience in teaching and I enjoy helping my younger sibling…

English Tutor Hillbank, SA
I think that an english tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't…

I believe that an english tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to provide clear explanations, offer patient guidance, foster a supportive learning environment, adapt teaching strategies to suit the student's needs, and instill confidence in their abilities.

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not. I am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

Ezymath has been the best thing for my daughter, who is currently in her final year at school. Her tutor Sophie is absolutely doing a brilliant job helping my daughter. She is very cheerful and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Inside Smithfield PlainsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Ariana worked on symmetry in shapes and completed a year 4 content quiz to consolidate her understanding.

In Year 10, Sam revised quadratic equations for an upcoming maths exam and received support with his physics assignment, focusing on acceleration calculations and using formulae.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jamie tackled biology topics including Punnett squares, mitosis versus meiosis, and explored the structure of DNA by working through questions that reinforced key genetic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived without their Biology test or Merchant of Venice materials, so key texts could not be reviewed during the session.

In Year 11, another student had not selected any articles for a research task; "because of time pressure the opportunity to absorb learning is limited," noted the tutor.

For a Year 8 maths lesson, skipping steps in equations meant sign errors went unnoticed and correcting them took up valuable lesson time.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's workbook layout made it difficult to follow number patterns—misplaced columns led to confusion when bridging to ten.

Recent Achievements

A Smithfield Plains tutor noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who used to rush through data questions but now double-checks formulas and compares lines, showing real care in getting results right.

In a senior biology session, a student who often hesitated to participate began identifying critical observations during experiments and talked through each step out loud instead of staying quiet.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner started picking up on repetitive phrasing in her essays by herself—something she struggled with before—and finished revising two paragraphs without needing reminders.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like John Hartley School B-6.
