A tutor, first and foremost, must ensure that a student is improving their grades, that is why people look for tutors in the first place. However, as well as this, a really good tutor can instil a genuine love of a given subject. This will also greatly assist in improving the student's performance. Thus the most important thing a tutor can do is…

I believe the two most important things a tutor can do for a student are to aid them in the learning gaps they may have and to help them in building a positive relationship with academics. It is common that if students may have a negative relationship with subjects they are not very confident in. Building confidence in these subjects is one of the…

Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers).

A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

Local Reviews

We were allocated a brilliant tutor, Benju Sharma, who is working so well with my son and his understanding of maths is improving. Benju always turns up on time and is ready and prepared for the lesson. She is good at keeping my son on track and he has actually started enjoying maths! Thanks for your help, we are super pleased with Benju and the huge effort she puts in.

Inside TorrensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student James focused on multiplication and division strategies, working through practical examples to build confidence with both operations.

In Year 8, Chloe practised algebra and straight line graphing, using diagrams to plot equations and interpret graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan concentrated on surface area and volume calculations for 3D shapes, applying formulas to real-world-style questions for extra context.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often solved problems in her head, leading to missed steps and confusion during algebra tasks—"more writing as he solves the problems," noted one tutor.

In Year 10, inconsistent formatting and skipping backchecking led to recurring mistakes with hyperbolae and boxplots.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student regularly mixed up multiplication and addition in written work; homework was sometimes left incomplete or done incorrectly until reviewed together.

In Year 11 English, a student's essay paragraphs lacked clear analysis because ideas weren't organised before writing. These habits resulted in time lost clarifying errors instead of building confidence or advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

One Torrens tutor noticed a Year 8 student who had struggled with algebra now working through problems aloud and using a new five-step process, showing real independence compared to her earlier hesitation.

In a high school maths session, another student moved from confusion about hyperbolae and boxplots to confidently explaining intercepts out loud—he even performed well on his recent test after practicing this skill.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to be quiet is now eager to learn, openly asking for help with addition and subtraction, and recently finished all the set problems without errors.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Torrens Primary School.
