English Tutor Littlehampton, SA
It is super important for children to feel like they are doing well, and making progress. I think that as an english tutor, encouragement is the most important tool that a tutor can use. If the students are not encouraged, they will no longer be motivated to keep trying, and will therefore not improve. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

English Tutor Littlehampton, SA
The single most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to help them build confidence in their own abilities to learn and overcome challenges. By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

English Tutor Littlehampton, SA
I believe an english tutor should foster a positive learning environment for a student, in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they are having with the tutor. I feel that as a tutor, your core responsibility is to place the needs of the child first, and do whatever you can to fulfill these needs, even if it does involve…

A tutor can be really influential for each student they instruct. Not only do they have a significant impact on the learning outcomes for the student, but also on their passions and interests. In my experience, having a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher can foster a deep affection for a learning area or subject. For example, the care and…

Have a good working relationship with them. Be patient. Encourage them to 'have a go'. Encourage them to take a 'risk'. Help them to understand that mistakes are ok - they are simply a step in the learning process. Encourage them to do their best. Celebrate their successes. Encourage them to believe in themselves and their abilities. Vast…

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

We are delighted with Dexter. She and Carly get along very well and she makes the tutoring process seamless and pleasant. Carly is responding very well to Dexter and they've already and good progress.

We have been very happy with Tako and feel she has really assisted our children to gain greater confidence with their math work and to work through math steps carefully, which was our key goal. We have also been impressed with the organisation of the tutoring through your services.

I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago about a tutor for my son Gabriele. You organised for Monica to come to the house and she is beyond a perfect fit. Gabriele was thrilled about the lesson, even though he was nervous at first, and can't wait until his next session, so thank you!

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.
