English Tutor Hawthorndene, SA
I consider the most important thing a tutor can for a student is to lead them on a path so that they might discover the answer themselves, and not give them the answer straight out. As a trained facilitator, I believe I would be able to identify my student's needs and work with them to fulfill those needs. I also have a proficiency in written…

A tutor should illuminate the skills, information and methodology on which academic excellence is predicated, thus enabling students to undertake work with confidence and awareness. The communication of this guidance -- and the guidance itself -- should be tailored to the individual's own needs. I am perceptive, patient, and good at articulating…

The most important thing for a tutor is to be actively listening; a tutor should respond to the student since tutoring differs from general teaching by way of individuality. Each student can express themselves as a person to a tutor rather than just another student in a class. I believe I am great at adapting my teaching style to cater for each…

A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

To listen to the student. If a student doesn’t understand something, it’s the responsibility of the tutor to try a different method and to have patience with the student.

One of the most important thing a tutor can do is be able to listen tot he child and not get frustrated at them if they are unable to grasp the concept.

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.
