I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, create a supportive learning environment, and teach them how to learn independently. It’s not just about solving problems for them, it’s about giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges on their own. A tutor should motivate students,…

I believe encouraging a students desire to learn is one of the best things a tutor can do for their students, and learning can only be joyful when you understand what you're taught. I believe it is my duty as a tutor to make sure my students finish a tutoring session having more confidence in their study materials than before they started. I can…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion, Constantly…

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…

I believe the most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is not only teach them what they need to know but teach them the skills which they need to succeed on their own. I believe this because although a tutor can help with their learning, they can't be there every single step of the way, especially after high school. These skills…

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…

The most important thing is for a tutor to help a student understand the concepts, rather than giving them answers, to help them towards understanding the work independently. I consider myself to be patient with my students as they learn at their own speeds, while providing them with the path to find the answer…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is teach them to learn. Not everyone learns the same way so we should identify the childrens strength and cater to their needs so that they can become good independent learners in the future My biggest strength as a tutor is patience. Every child learns at a different pace and it's important to slow…

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.
