Biology Tutor Colonel Light Gardens, SA
I think personalising the teaching approach for each student is very important as no student will learn and grasp concepts the same, so having the awareness to be able to adapt to different students is very important, which will in turn improve the students confidence and grades. I think asking for feedback from students is also very important,…

I reckon trying to keep the student enthusiastic and motivated about his/her work is one of the most important things to think about as a tutor. Students should never feel like they are trying in vain. Keeping their morale high can lead to great results. Also, aiming to develop independent thinking skills of the student is critical because he/she…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is making sure they're always there for the student, patiently answering any questions they may have. Another very crucial aspect to consider is to maintain good communication channels with the student's parents as the tutor can directly report the student's progress to them and how the…

Put themselves in the students’ place and prepare their lessons accordingly. Always impart empathy, consideration for their individual circumstances which will impact their learning and be ear when they need understanding and to debrief.

Biology Tutor Frewville, SA
I believe a tutor should be able to pass on their mindset of growth and resilience to a student. A student's life would never end after just school, and being resilient and believing that you could grow above any challenges would be a huge key to their own success. While I am not a good communicator, I am a good observer. I am able to recognize…

I think a tutor's most important role is to build the confidence of students by providing them with personalised teaching that helps them connect with the topic. I believe that many students can get lost in large classrooms and they require a more individualised program to grow their confidence and achieve their goals. I believe that the knowledge…

The primary thing a tutor can/ must do for a student is to understand them. Give them the freedom to express their doubts and curiosity, so that they can develop more. Also never compare them with others, always try to make them their better version. Secondly, being a friend to your student can make a huge difference in the way of learning. It…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to their problems and guide them on how to solve it. A tutor gives students the tools they need to solve difficult problems, so that they can use the tools in the future to solve problems on their own. As a tutor I'm patient, understanding and forgiving. I know some students take…

Local Reviews

Griffith has been fantastic.
Samantha

Inside Upper SturtTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on building multiplication and division skills, as well as applying these to everyday money scenarios.

In Year 10, Lucas worked through trigonometric equations and tackled circular geometry problems using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam addressed applications of integration and explored magnetic induction by linking mathematical techniques to physics contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was observed not completing much revision between sessions, which meant he "hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions," leaving him less prepared for upcoming tests.

In Year 12 Physics, another student understood the theory during lessons but struggled to recall methods independently when tackling homework. One tutor noted, "he can work out problems with encouragement but struggles to remember how he solved similar equations the previous Sunday."

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student frequently mixed up cents and dollars in money questions—messy working made it harder to spot these misunderstandings in time.

Recent Achievements

One Upper Sturt tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially relying on rote memorisation for kinematics, began applying concepts independently and handed in fully self-checked notes for revision.

In a Year 8 session, a student who used to quietly guess at division problems now eagerly explains each step aloud, showing new ownership of her thinking.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made the leap from struggling with basic time questions to confidently choosing when to add or subtract minutes without prompting—ending the lesson by finishing all ten time word problems correctly on her own.

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