A tutor needs to be encouraging and patient. Learning some of these concepts requires hours of practice and the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence. I am empathetic, patient, and encouraging which I think fosters the greatest learning opportunities among students. I am also inextinguishably passionate about maths…

A tutor should aim to clarify concepts, ensuring the student truly grasps the material rather than just memorising answers. Moreover, students should feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and exploring ideas without judgment. I simplify complex ideas into digestible steps, using examples related to the learner’s interests or…

For me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is interaction. As interactive the session will be, more output will one get from their students. I’ll try to become their friend rather than being a typical teacher. Homework and self study will be two of the key tasks of the session. One of my biggest strength as a tutor is…

A role of tutor is to clear the concepts of student individually that they have studied during class. A tutor is there to guide students by making them realise their mistakes and later by explaining and solving the topics. And for that tutor should know his students first. As a tutor I think knowing and understanding the working method of each…

I consider time, listening, and encouragement as the important things a tutor can do for every student. I believe that the starting point is to look into where the student is coming from to better assess what the problem is. Then, a tutor should acknowledge that everyone learns at a different pace and with a distinct learning style. Some…

Encouragement. Learning something new can be hard. Things that do not come easily have the potential to discourage us, but the only way for anyone to fail is if they give up.

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom focused on solving linear equations and exploring properties of linear graphs, using practice questions to consolidate understanding.

In Year 9, Sophie worked through trigonometry problems involving finding unknown sides and angles in triangles as well as applying bearings in real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam reviewed differential calculus concepts with a focus on rules for differentiation and tackled binomial expansion and theorem questions to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student relied on mental calculation for algebra, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This meant small mistakes were harder to spot and correct.

In Year 11, one student hesitated when choosing between Bernoulli and Binomial distributions; he only grew confident after working through several examples, highlighting the need to practice identifying question types under exam conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student was confused by worded problems in geometry, needing support to extract key information before attempting solutions.

When units weren't double-checked in physics calculations (Year 10), answers lost marks despite solid method.

Recent Achievements

A Tennyson tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with calculus investigations, began asking targeted questions about each confusing step and could then clearly explain all the differentiation methods used.

In Year 9, another student who used to stay quiet when stuck on algebra now openly identifies which parts confuse him and talks through his problem-solving process aloud—something he avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made real progress by remembering area formulas for different shapes using new memory cues and independently applying these during unit conversion activities without prompting.

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 Henley Beach Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seaton High School.
