Tutor Tusmore, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them to enjoy learning. While some may believe tutoring is a means by which students are forced to study, I think of it more so as a means by which students can be exposed to different ways of learning and retaining information. I am a rather calm and collected individual and thus, I…

Personally, building a students confidence within a subject is the most important aspect of tutoring. This means providing personalised support and encouraging critical thinking to allow for subject understandng to occur. As more understanding is built, students confidence grows as well. I have strong subject knowledge for both mathematics and…

A tutor should display patience, kindness, and develop a relationship with the student; as well as personalised learning.

I think the most important thing is to give them an interest in the subjects. In my study path, I realized that the easiest way to study well in a subject is loving them. Therefore, instead of providing them with a full of academic lessons, teachers should help them feel entertained in the lessons. Then, they will find out and get better by…

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

I believe it is important to understand the student's weaknesses and strengths before starting to teach them. I have come across a common problem with students, which is that they often jump straight into trying to solve a problem without fully understanding the theory/basics first. Hence, I try to first help them understand the basics then go…

I believe that it is important for tutors to be passionate about teaching.

I also think that it is important for tutors to create a comfortable learning environment for…

Ultimately the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to aid them in learning. However, along with that there must be good foundations to assist this, such as: creating an environment the student feels comfortable and happy in, building good rapport with the student and ensuring the learning content is being delivered in such a way…

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

Be adaptable to individual students and across each time you see them. People learn in different ways at different times. Sometimes students have had a bad day, so you may have to adapt the lesson to make sure they get as much out of it as possible. Preparation is also very important.

Inside TusmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Armando reviewed bivariate statistics, focusing on exponential regression and interpreting normal distributions using calculator-based practice.

For Year 11, Lucy worked through linear programming problems including constructing feasible regions and applying the simplex algorithm to assignment scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mark focused on exam revision by tackling a range of financial mathematics questions, such as superannuation calculations and comparing loan options.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often wrote out solutions in their head instead of on paper, making it hard to spot calculation slips—showing all steps would help catch small errors before they add up.

In Year 10, messy working and unclear labels when copying matrices led to confusion during revision, especially under time pressure.

A senior student preparing for exams relied heavily on a calculator for financial maths but occasionally entered the wrong sign, affecting accuracy with compound interest questions.

After setbacks in algebra tests, one Year 9 learner became hesitant to attempt harder problems without reassurance, slowing progress.

Recent Achievements

One Tusmore tutor recently saw a Year 11 student move from hesitating to ask for help with algebraic concepts to confidently identifying gaps and requesting clarification on her own, especially around fractions—something she used to avoid.

Another high school student who had previously struggled with test revision now organises his own practice sessions and shared two recent B+ results, having also pinpointed areas for further improvement without prompting.

In a primary session, Addison tackled challenging worksheet problems independently, attempting even unfamiliar questions before seeking assistance when stuck.

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