Science Tutor Campbelltown, SA
A tutor needs to be patient when tutoring a student especially in subjects like mathematics and physics since those subjects require the most assumed knowledge in high school than any other subject, students normally have trouble recollecting previous works. Therefore, it is important for a tutor to start from the very basic concepts, if the…

Science Tutor Linden Park, SA
To find a way to explain problems to a student that suits that particular student, as you can explain something to someone for a long time, but they may still be unable to understand it if it isn't presented in a way that is suitable for their learning style. I think it is also important to be able to answer questions outside of the tutoring time…

Science Tutor Rosslyn Park, SA
I consider tutoring to be important in two ways: academics and self-growth. Being a tutor to me means bringing out the best in someone academically as well as providing them with the tools they need to become independent, life-long learners. I think a great tutor is someone who can help their student grow to love and appreciate the subject of…

I believe there are never bad students. It is the responsibility of the teacher to understand/identify the strength of the students and help them build on it. A teacher can have great influence on students life. The more positive and encouraging the teacher is, more successful and confident the student will become. Students look up to their…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

Inside St PetersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Sarah worked through solving linear equations and then practiced using indices in algebraic expressions.

Year 10 student Jack focused on understanding the unit circle for trigonometry, as well as reviewing his recent exam questions together for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily explored exponential graphs and tackled problems involving surds and powers, including expanding algebraic expressions step by step.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often struggled to translate worded problems into algebraic equations, needing repeated reminders to "write out every step of the equation." This led to confusion between addition and multiplication when working with formulas.

In a senior Maths Methods session, one student hesitated to start multi-part questions without prompts, which slowed progress on complex topics like trigonometric equations. As noted by a tutor: "He got tangled in his thoughts even though he knew the answer."

For a Year 4 learner, difficulties organizing materials meant lesson time was spent searching for past problems instead of consolidating new concepts.

Recent Achievements

One St Peters tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after initially getting most of his homework fractions wrong, was able to solve them accurately in-session and even tackled a bonus question with barely any help—something he'd struggled with before.

In a recent high school session, another student who used to skip over explaining his reasoning is now confidently talking through probability questions step by step, making fewer mistakes along the way.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 lesson, a student eager to try multiplication exercises stopped relying on her times tables chart and got most answers correct on her own.

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 Walkerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Adelaide School.
