This instantly boosts up the kids for striving for accuracy and their dreams. Secondly, a tutor should never be a demotivator in any manner. This is important as any…

The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

A tutor must be patient, flexible, honest and attentive. It is important that tutors do not give students the answer directly but allows the student to discover the answer with extra guidance. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

This lays the foundation for the student being comfortable in asking questions to the tutor, as well as the tutor finding a teaching style that is most suited to the student. I am confident in my ability to explain subject matter to the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

Inside UnleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Ella revised fraction and percentage calculations, then practiced multiplying larger numbers without a calculator.

Year 8 Stefan focused on solving degree-2 algebraic operations and reviewed probability concepts using assignment questions.

For Year 9 Chloe, the session covered challenging real-life applications of algebra and introduced persuasive writing structures for her upcoming English task.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students are still relying on calculators for quick maths, even with basic multiplication and fractions.

For example, one Year 9 student "needed a multiplication sheet to get through practice questions," which slowed her progress in algebra.

In Year 10, messy working out—especially when converting dimensions—meant that small mistakes went unnoticed until the final answer.

One senior student preparing for a test hesitated to attempt worded problems independently, missing chances to build confidence before assessment week.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student often doubted their first steps and erased correct work out of uncertainty during algebra revision.

Recent Achievements

One Unley tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to wait for hints now volunteering her own ideas when tackling new maths problems, needing fewer prompts each week.

A Year 11 student recently worked through an algebra worksheet and, instead of relying on the tutor to find mistakes, identified exactly where she'd gone wrong and corrected it herself—a big shift from previous sessions where she needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 English, a younger learner who previously stuck to simple vocabulary is now swapping in synonyms independently during writing tasks and recalling concepts taught last week without reminders.

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 Unley Civic Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Saint Spyridon College.
