Science Tutor Waterloo Corner, SA
I consider the most important thing as a tutor is the success of my student academically through personalised lessons. I feel an obligation to ensure that my students pass or exceed in the topics they bring to the lessons and aim to empower them to create independent learners. I would say my strengths are being able to break down complex topics…

Science Tutor Direk, SA
I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are teach the difficult topics as simply as possible by providing examples for each topic, which makes it easy for the student to remember and understand. Also, a tutor should be someone who understands their students' needs, behaviour, and learning pace, and be flexible in their teaching…

Science Tutor Green Fields, SA
I believe that a tutor should make a student feel safe enough that they ask as many questions as they need to ask in order to fully understand a topic. A tutor should encourage the student to believe in their own abilities and develop the student's confidence to allow them to eventually approach and solve problems on their own. I believe this type…

Inside St KildaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Suhana worked on partitioning numbers, basic multiplication and division, and an introduction to simple fractions using visual aids.

For Year 7, Archie revisited BIDMAS and operations with fractions after receiving his test results, focusing on improving accuracy in multi-step calculations.

In Year 8, Amelia tackled the area of composite shapes and reviewed key area formulas, reinforcing understanding through targeted practice problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student often avoided back-checking their work on composite shapes unless prompted—"she did not backcheck her work unless prompted"—leading to repeated calculation errors that could have been caught earlier.

In Year 10 science, another found it hard to approach questions on mitosis and meiosis without hints, hesitating instead of working through unfamiliar material.

Meanwhile, a primary learner struggled to stay engaged during number tracing and needed frequent redirection; incomplete focus meant basic writing practice sometimes stalled.

A Year 7 student tended to say "I don't know" quickly and rarely explained her thinking out loud, making it harder to identify where understanding broke down during fraction addition tasks.

Recent Achievements

One St Kilda tutor noted a big change in a Year 10 student who now double-checks her maths work without prompting—something she'd avoided before—and caught all her own errors while using Pythagoras' theorem.

A Year 7 boy has begun pointing out his mistakes as he works, rather than waiting for correction, and is making use of his calculator to backcheck answers—a habit he didn't have earlier in the term.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 student recently managed to fill in missing numbers from 1 to 10 within seconds, having previously struggled with number order and often mixed up digits like 16 and 61.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
