I think that the most important things that a tutor should have when teaching students is to dedicate as much Time as possible to the student in order to understand the tasks they are required to do. Patience is also another important thing to have as things take time. Dedication, not giving up on the student, everyone learns at their own…

Psychology Tutor Largs Bay, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

Psychology Tutor Gillman, SA
As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me. That encapsulates what I think is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student:…

My son has struggled for a while with Maths methods. Shamit has done wonders for my sons confidence and problem solving ability. Already we have seen C grades move to B+ grades.

Inside TaperooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Sienna focused on applying integration to kinematics, specifically integrating velocity functions to find displacement and solving definite integral problems involving motion graphs.

Year 12 student Ava worked through exam-style questions on continuous probability distributions, including checking the validity of probability density functions and finding medians using integrals.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Maddison reviewed indices and scientific notation for her upcoming semester exam, with extra support identifying common errors in past quiz answers and clarifying Pythagoras' theorem using targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student had trouble identifying which differentiation rules to use in calculus, sometimes "talking out loud through problems" but hesitating to break complex questions into simpler steps.

For a Year 10 student, missed homework and confusion about upcoming quiz dates meant revision was reactive rather than planned—one tutor noted, "she wasn't aware they had a quiz the following day."

In Year 3 spelling, erasing and rewriting words repeatedly slowed progress as perfectionism set in; fitting longer words into boxes became a struggle. These habits left less time for deeper learning or confidence-building practice during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Taperoo tutor noticed a Year 12 student who used to rush through differentiation now taking extra time to check if rules actually apply, catching past mistakes before moving on.

In Year 10 maths, Sienna came prepared with questions from her textbook and, for the first time, worked through every problem independently before asking for help—she even proudly showed off her improved test mark.

Meanwhile, Esther in Year 3 brought all her homework unprompted and moved up four levels in reading, tackling longer books during sessions after struggling to finish shorter ones just weeks ago.

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 Semaphore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ocean View P-12 College.
