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…

My strength as a tutor would be I have really good patience and I love breaking down things because that’s what my teacher did to help me especially when I didn’t…

I think the most import things a tutor can do is develop in the student a sense of self belief and confidence along with strong foundational numeracy skills. Along with this a sense of enjoyment and accomplishment will keep them seeking to learn more long after the tutoring has ended. I have years of experience of all years of maths so I know the…

Another important thing is making sure that the student feels comfortable with the work/tasks and finding the best method that helps them maximise their understanding. - Patient, calm and…

Building a strong mentor-student relationship is crucial, nurturing an environment where questions are encouraged, and challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth. Also, tailoring teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, and…

Constantly checking up on them. Not in just terms of their learning (granted, it is very important) but also how they are feeling about the study and the method of teaching. I believe everyone can be taught any concept, but everyone has a different learning style and a tutor that can identify this for the student and teach them appropriately will…

Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

Inside Torrens IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Maddison worked on reviewing multiplication, division, and the **gradient formula**, including going over her recent indices quiz to identify mistakes.

Year 11 student Emily focused on applying **differentiation to kinematics problems** and finding equations of tangents to curves using examples from motion scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled statistics topics such as **confidence intervals** and applications of integration in linear motion problems, with extra practice on interpreting slope through real-world data.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student worked through calculus questions but hesitated to simplify expressions before applying differentiation or integration rules, leading to confusion mid-problem. In one case, as noted, "she wasn't sure whether to expand brackets before integrating, which muddled her answer."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student arrived without her word list or homework—spelling practice was disrupted and recent words weren't reviewed.

Another senior student forgot upcoming test dates and struggled to organize revision materials; she realized too late that missed planning left gaps in coverage.

During primary spelling exercises, difficulty fitting longer words into boxes led to repeated erasing and lost focus.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Torrens Island recently noticed a Year 11 student catching her own mistakes while working through calculus questions, backchecking her answers with a calculator instead of waiting for help—a big shift from needing constant reassurance before.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to rush and forget "carried" numbers has started double-checking their work independently, making fewer errors and explaining their thinking out loud during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated to read aloud now volunteers to tackle longer books and even moved up four reading levels after persistent practice.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like North Haven School.
