Ancient History Tutor Littlehampton, SA
Help them build confidence to believe they can succeed. Being able to explain topic areas in different ways, using plain language to help them understand. I also strongly believe in teaching students core study skills to build structure to their problem…

Inside BalhannahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie practised multiplication with large numbers, reviewed times tables, and started working on equivalent fractions using visual aids.

For Year 9, Liam focused on solving trigonometric equations using SOH CAH TOA and tackled composite area problems involving triangles and irregular shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam worked through applications of integration—identifying antiderivatives from integrands—and explored questions about discrete random variables in probability contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student tackling rational functions hesitated to attempt problems without first reviewing textbook examples, showing reliance on worked solutions instead of trusting their understanding—"Try solving the problems in the textbook without looking at the examples first," one tutor urged.

In Year 10 algebra, messy and convoluted solution layouts occasionally made it difficult for him to identify errors or communicate reasoning clearly, sometimes leading to confusion mid-question.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner's confidence dips after setbacks; when answers don't come easily, focus wavers and silly responses follow. After sports day fatigue, she struggled to stay engaged and needed frequent redirection just to remain on task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Balhannah recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with complex algebraic problems last week, was able to independently recall the necessary techniques and solve tougher questions without prompts.

Another high school student has become noticeably faster and more accurate during timed practice sessions—where he once hesitated over complex breakdowns, he now approaches them with new efficiency and self-assurance.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who previously guessed at times tables began openly using tools like her fingers and past work for support; she now confidently fills out multiplication charts on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Wen is fantastic! Jack is very happy with the tutoring so we would like to continue with her.

Dhreeti tutor has been great so far and my daughter is really comfortable with her.

Sharren is wonderful. They have formed an instant connection, and Bree is already feeling more confident and did an open book maths test yesterday without looking at the book hardly at all. Sharren is already a part of the house when i walk through the door and she is already in my opinion, the best tutor for Bree

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 Woodside District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakbank School.
